Trump Goes After FBI Chief Comey On Eve Of Senate Testimony
Daily Caller ^ | May 2, 2017 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 05/03/2017 7:33:32 AM PDT by Hostage

President Trump criticized James Comey on Tuesday night, just hours before the FBI director testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Trump accused Comey of giving Hillary Clinton a “free pass” in the investigation into whether she mishandled classified information on her private email server.

It is unclear what exactly prompted Trump’s outburst, though it was likely a response to an interview Clinton gave earlier in the day in which she blamed several factors, including Russia, misogyny and Comey, for her November election loss to Trump.

Clinton blasted Comey for re-opening the FBI’s investigation into her emails in late October, just before the election.

“FBI Director Comey was the best thing that ever happened to Hillary Clinton in that he gave her a free pass for many bad deeds!” he tweeted Tuesday. “The phony Trump/Russia story was an excuse used by the Democrats as justification for losing the election. Perhaps Trump just ran a great campaign?”

Asked by Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo whether it was too late to fire Comey, Trump said it was not.

“No, it’s not too late, but, you know, I have confidence in him. We’ll see what happens. It’s going to be interesting,” Trump said.

Note: The FBI #2, the Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe was brought in by Team Clinton in January 2016 and is the real mole that has stopped and covered for all the criminal misdeeds.

Who told Comey to let Hillary off the hook on her email crimes? And what did they promise him for obeying?

Is this the live thread? Both Grassley and Feinstein are ripping him one.

Interesting that Feinstein would do that. Why do you think that is?

Comey needs to step down. The FBI is a shambles of its once proud self.

Probably for not covering for Hillary enough.

Feinstein believes Comey was the reason Hillary lost.

I figure Feinstein is ripping him as a Clinton surrogate. Whatever Hillary’s argument is, Feinstein is making it. Generically, that Comey said he was reopening the Clinton server case after he gave his presser concluding there was no crime in mishandling of classified material.

How is that an outburst? It's a simple statement of fact.

Did Comey did or did he not absolve Hitlery Rosenberg of any wrongdoing a week before the election?

“Feinstein believes Comey was the reason Hillary lost.”

Or is following the script prepared for her, just as her god did for the last eight years.

I don't know, but here's what I think: Loretta Lynch told Comey not to press charges after Bill Clinton met her at the airport a few days before the big announcement.

Clinton said they talked about their grandchildren. That's probably true, as in if Lynch wants here grandchildren to grow up she'll not press charges against Mrs. Bill Clinton.
