CNN to host James Comey town hall on May 9 -- two years after Trump fired him
CNN Politics ^ | May 1, 2019 | Kate Sullivan

Former FBI Director James Comey will take questions at a town hall next Thursday moderated by CNN's Anderson Cooper.

The town hall will air at 8 p.m. ET May 9, from Washington, DC.

The town hall will be held exactly two years to the day after President Donald Trump fired Comey, citing Comey's handling of the probe into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server.

Comey was overwhelmingly confirmed by the Senate as FBI director in July 2013 with a 93-1 vote, and served until his firing on May 9, 2017.

On Wednesday, Comey penned an op-ed in The New York Times saying Trump's appointees sometimes make "compromises" to survive their boss.

Comey wrote people had asked him "what happened" to people like Attorney General William Barr, who Comey previously said deserved "the benefit of the doubt" ahead of the release of the redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's report.

His op-ed published the same day Barr was grilled during a Senate hearing about his handling of the Mueller report.

"Trump eats your soul in small bites," Comey wrote.

That should interest the 88 viewers still left with CNN.

I think with almost a quarter of the population....no one knows the guy. You could introduce him as a former first baseman of the Boston Red Sox, and people would believe you.

Barr is about to nail his ass. This is his last hurray. CNN is going down the tubes also.

This guy should slink away in a corner somewhere and hope Barr forgets to come for him. He is doubling down in the hope of getting major Dem support. They will throw you under the bus Comey first chance they see you are going down. I think he is another one who hopes Trump loses in 2020. The more they double down the more likelyhood of them being shown up as the crooks they are.

Comey continues to struggle because he knows the man has come to town.

With a big iron on his hip.

PANIC IN DC.

Wow digging through yesterday’s news. I’m a reporter and seems like something I would do if it was extremely slow news day. Except I don’t think I would lower myself this much.

Why are the MSM making a hero out of this guy?!

He is a criminal low life psycho and CNN gives him a two hour townhall all to himself.

CNN must know something is up. And on Fox, DiGenova said within two weeks Comey will be indicted. I certainly hope so. I'm tired of all the wishing and hoping for justice. Now I know how QAnon feels … LOL. Let's get this show on the road.

"Why are the MSM making a hero out of this guy?!

------------

Because they are an integral part of the "get Trump" conspiracy.

Personally, I would love to see him walk off the stage in handcuffs but I guess that would be a dream beyond hope.

============

"Trump eats your soul in small bites," Comey wrote.'

---------------

But you are safe Cardinal Comey since you don't have one.

Talking about Barr and suggesting he fears for his job is nonsense. Willliam Barr came out of a comfortable retirement to take on this job because he is a patriot and believes in the rule of law, two virtues which have never existed in James Comey.

That would be a great time to arrest him. Just after his opening statement

One can only conclude from CNN’s behavior that they have criminal liability in the coup fiasco. How do you even begin to explain this bizarre Comey event?
