Comey Finds It Shocking, Absolutely Shocking What Was Going On in His FBI

Dec. 15, 2019 (EIRNS)—The discredited former FBI Director James Comey appeared on the Fox News on Sunday show in the aftermath of the fallout from the Horowitz report and testimony earlier this week, which spelled out Comey’s crimes in the attempted coup against the President.

Knowing that he had to acknowledge at least some aspect of the devastating Horowitz report, Comey told host Chris Wallace: “He’s right, I was wrong. I was overconfident in the procedures that the FBI and Justice had built over 20 years. I thought they were robust enough. It’s incredibly hard to get a FISA.”

A mea culpa? Hardly. Comey is clearly trying to snake his way out of a criminal prosecution. It wasn’t me, he cried: “As a director sitting on top of an organization of 38,000 people, you can’t run an investigation that’s seven layers below you.” Seven layers? McCabe? Strzok? Comey continued digging his own grave: “And if a director tires to run an investigation, it’ll get mucked up in all different kinds of ways, given his or her responsibilities and the impossibility of reaching the work that’s being done at the lower level.” So why, then, did Comey set up the President by taking him the Steele dossier? Why did he leak his notes on a confidential discussion with the President to the New York Times?

Wallace said Comey was behaving as if he were a bystander and witness to the investigation rather than the former director of the FBI.

“Sure, I’m responsible, that’s why I’m telling you I was wrong,” Comey said. “I was overconfident as director in our procedures, and it’s important that a leader be accountable and transparent. If I was still director, I’d be saying exactly the same thing Chris Wray is saying, which is, ‘Are we going to get to the bottom of this?’ Because the most important question is: Is it systemic? Are there problems in other cases?”

President Donald Trump responded immediately: “So now Comey’s admitting he was wrong. Wow, but he’s only doing so because he got caught red handed. He was actually caught a long time ago. So what are the consequences for his unlawful conduct. Could it be years in jail? Where are the apologies to me and others, Jim?”

See you in court, Jimmy.
