James Comey blasts AG Barr, accuses him of ‘sliming his own department’
Fox News ^ | 18 MAY 2019 | Adam Shaw

Former FBI Director James Comey ripped into Attorney General William Barr on Friday, accusing him of “sliming his own department” after Barr said that government power was used “to spy on American citizens.”

“The AG should stop sliming his own Department,” Comey tweeted. “If there are bad facts, show us, or search for them professionally and then tell us what you found.”

“An AG must act like the leader of the Department of Justice, an organization based on truth,” he said. “Donald Trump has enough spokespeople.”

Comey did not specify what comments he was reacting to, but the tweet came after Barr gave interviews to Fox News and The Wall Street Journal about the investigation into the origins of the Russia investigation, that he has tapped U.S. Attorney John Durham to lead.

Barr told Fox News that the investigation will cover the time period between Election Day and Inauguration Day, and he told Fox News’ Bill Hemmer that “some very strange developments” took place during that period.

Barr said the country must know “exactly what happened” with counterintelligence activities conducted during the 2016 election -- and he is determined to get to the bottom of the case.

“The first step is to find out exactly what happened, and we're trying to get our arms around that, getting all the relevant information from the various agencies and starting to talk to some of the people that have information,” Barr told Hemmer.

Not knowing this stuff is the least of our problems had Mrs Bill become President.

Comey “was” a Communist. He said so.

Comey seems convinced his safety net is having the media on his side. Let's see how that works out.

So, Comey was the main guy. He’s screaming the loudest.

Fool just can’t stop digging.

What a smarmy piss-ant. He doesn’t know when to STFU. Barr has power over him now. Doesn’t he get that? He’s “pickin’ for a lickin’”, as my dad would say.

I say a number of members of Justice Department and the FBI, CIA and other agencies have done a fine job of slimming themselves. Barr is just shinning the light of truth on them. Which is what they are supposed to be all about.

Sounds like Comey is on edge. Shared and nervous.

In Congressional Oversight testimony, I think regarding the FBI interview with Hillary Clinton and prosecutorial discretion, one of the House Reps asked Comey if he had similarly investigated the IRS /Lois Lerner affair, Fast and Furious and a few other suppressed Obama era scandals and what he had discovered.

Comey glibly and offhandedly answered that he had and almost verbatim he said, “We uncovered criminal offenses, lots of them, but just like with Hillary Clinton, no res Mensa- no intent, so we didn’t pursue charges”

I think Comey may be in bigger trouble that we realize as if that were possible. It appears that Mueller turned the FBI into America’s STASI and Comey followed on by becoming the the fixer for what has becoming the rampant bi partisan political corruption in Washington DC

No one appreciates the fact Comey endured years with his head shoulder deep in the Kenyan queer’s ass.

Comey still thinks he’s running things.
