Former FBI director James Comey called out Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) Thursday night after the lawmaker tweeted about him without tagging him.
Meadows tweeted about Comey’s “silence” at the release of a report from the Department of Justice inspector general (IG) over the leak of memos to a reporter approaches.
“As the IG report on Comey approaches, we’re getting the sound of silence. No Comey tweets. No softball interviews,” Meadows tweeted, neglecting to tag Comey’s account. “Must be tougher when you get questioned by a DOJ Inspector General. The truth is coming. His actions will come to light. And the verdict won’t be pretty.”
Comey quickly fired back with a tweet Thursday night, saying he is waiting “for facts before I talk about them.”
“I love transparency. I just wait for facts before I talk about them. I’m confident the results of all IG reports will show honest public servants worked hard to protect this country from a threat this president and his enablers won’t acknowledge,” Comey tweeted at Meadows, adding “And @ me next time, bruh.”
The sparring comes amid the news that Comey will not be prosecuted by the DOJ even though the inspector general referred him for possible prosecution over the leak.
The full report from the inspector general is not expected to be completed until at least next month, according to The Washington Post.
The larger report focuses on federal authorities’ investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and the Trump campaign and Comey’s role in it.
Comey was fired from his post at the FBI by Trump in May of 2017 and has been an outspoken critic of the president since.
Meadows is an avid supporter of Trump and has called for an investigation into Comey and his handling of the Russia probe.
I don’t know, but there are likely dozens of laws he broke by leaking FBI information to the press through an intermediary, taking confidential work product out of a facility, knowing full well that private conversations with the President relating to FBI methods and sources are classified secret, leaking information to spur an investigation, trying to overthrow a sitting president, etc...
I know someone who has occasion to work around FIBBies. They’ve been keeping to themselves lately.
The damage they’ve done to themselves will not soon be resolved, if at all.
>> The people do not IMO understand the magnitude of the illegal AND legal immigration
You’re absolutely right. And that lack of understanding is directly related to the lack of reporting.
I’m gonna insert my tired MSM bitch right here: It’s Comcast, Disney, and now ATT that’s at fault for the deception.
>> The great majority of these people will never assimilate into our culture.
Likely, but not certain. Have you noticed the legal immigration voice is never, ever reported?
>> Patience is our only option but we must get on the road to recovery first and all indications are that is not the case at all.
The precision shooter is patient, right? A matter of planning and discipline. The Left is sloppy at best. Not an easy win, but we’ll win.
