Yes, I remember Chris Wallace was all over him about that.

Oh, sorry, my mistake, he WASN’T all over him about that.

STFU brit, we all know you’ve been a never Trumper all along. Your tweet in recent days that comey got away with downplaying the fisa report because of Trump’s wild accusations of spying on him was BS!. THE FBI/DOJ WAS SPYING ON HIM!

Yup. Brit might be right every couple of centuries but is a NeverTrumper prick.

A few weeks ago he called President Trump “Sir Tweetsalot”

Didn’t Comey sign some of the FISA aplications?

You have a presidential campaign being investigated, you’re head of the agency, but you don’t know what’s going on?

He signed three of them. Rosenweasel signed the last one, as I recall.

Did you read the interview? Brit Hume, whom I have never liked, was actually pretty good. When even Trump’s enemies have to admit how bad things were, that’s progress. Be glad.

“Comey knew everything.”

Comey was proactive in this entire fiasco.

“NeverTrumper”....Although a legitimate designation, it’s the most overused term on this forum of any.

It’s constant “overuse” has essentially made the term meaningless.

Brit, Cavuto, Napolitano, Juan Williams, and Baier, are all never-Trumpers.

Yup, Brit Hume, Cavuto, Napolitano, Juan Williams, and Bret Baier, are all never-Trumpers. This is why I do not watch Fox.

Yeah. It's not like it involved Joe Nobody. The warrant involved a man running for president of the United States. Don't you think that you would apply just a little extra care in that situation? If it were me, I would have been overly diligent that everything was right and proper.

Yes, I know.

I'll bet his stupidity cost him and his investors $100 million dollars.

Actually the worst thing in that interview was when Wallace asked Comey whether he’d have resigned if he had known and Comey said (paraphrasing) “resign? Not for that, I’ve seen much worse than that during my time at the FBI. The key is to be transparent blah blah blah”. And Wallace failed to say “tell me about the much worse things you saw...”
