On December 20, 2016, the FBI found out that the supposed super source behind the fraudulent Steele dossier, the man portrayed as having access to Putin’s innermost secrets, was in fact a total nobody who had interned at the Brookings Institution. When questioned, the supposed super source told the FBI that the dossier was just bar talk.
Despite this, Comey proceeded as though it were real, taking it to the FISA court and briefing Congress on the lies, all while pretending he didn’t know it was made up. Worst of all, he also briefed President Trump, then leaked the fact that he had briefed President Trump, thereby laundering those lies into a full scale investigative and media operation that drove a multi year lawfare campaign against a sitting president and those around him.
So when Comey now adopts a sanctimonious tone about the FBI being “under siege,” it lands with a particular irony. He is the one who turned the FBI into the siege engine.
BREAKING: Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey claims that the FBI is "under seige" and admits that he is still having active conversations with personnel within the FBI.
Kasie Hunt: "Do you still talk to employees at the FBI regularly?"
Comey: "I do... They're under siege."
Why is an indicted man still in contact with the very same people who could be tasked with investigating him?
