President Donald Trump is a liar and his rhetoric is damaging America’s institutions, writes ex-FBI Director in new op-ed for The Washington Post.
Ex-FBI Director James Comey derided the “dumbness” of President Donald Trump’s conspiracy theory that the bureau sought to use its Russia investigation to take down his 2016 campaign.
Writing in The Washington Post, Comey called Trump a liar who does not care about the damage his rhetoric and false allegations are doing to America’s institutions, such as the FBI. “Why wouldn’t the much-maligned FBI supervisor Peter Strzok—the alleged kingpin of the ‘treasonous’ plot to stop Trump—tell anyone? He was one of the very few people who knew what we were investigating.
“We asked a federal judge for permission to surveil him and then we did it, all without revealing our work, despite the fact that it was late October and a leak would have been very harmful to candidate Trump. Worst deep-state conspiracy ever,” Comey wrote. “McCabe was fired over it. And what was that disclosure? Some stop-Trump election-eve screed? No. McCabe authorized a disclosure that revealed the FBI was actively investigating the Clinton Foundation, a disclosure that was harmful to Clinton.” Comey concluded: “There was no corruption. There was no treason. There was no attempted coup. Those are lies, and dumb lies at that.
