Comey rips FBI, GOP over 'lying'

Former FBI Director James Comey on Monday railed against President Trump and his Republican allies in Congress, arguing their attacks on the FBI made no sense.

Comey slammed GOP lawmakers for remaining silent while he said Trump disregarded the rule of law.

"So another day of Hillary Clinton’s emails and the Steele dossier,” Comey told reporters after he was interviewed for roughly six hours behind closed doors. “This while the president of the United States is lying about the FBI, attacking the FBI and attacking the rule of law in this country. How does that make any sense?”

In biting comments, Comey characterized GOP lawmakers as too cowardly to stand up for the FBI for fear of political backlash.

“Republicans used to understand that the actions of a president matter, the words of a president matter, the rule of law matters, and the truth matters. Where are those Republicans today,” Comey said. “At some point, someone has to stand up and in the fear of Fox News and fear of their base, and fear of mean tweets, stand up for the values of this country and not slink away into retirement.”

LOL!! They throw the Race Card and call everyone they disagree with a racist. They throw the Woman's Card and call everyone they disagree with a misogynist. They throw the Welcoming Card and call everyone who supports secure borders and controlled immigration a xenophobist. They throw the Muslim Card and call everyone who wants to keep terrorists out of our country an Islamaphobe.

So far the Race Card, the Woman's Card, the Welcoming Card, and the Muslim Cards have failed, so now they're onto the Lying Card and call everyone who wants to fix our country, a "liar", while redacting what was actually said and coercing plea deals so there's a never a trial so they never have to show their cards.
