With news last week that the Justice Department has shifted an administrative review into the origins of Russiagate into a criminal inquiry, former FBI Director James Comey says he’s confident that a full investigation into the counterintelligence operation against President Trump’s 2016 campaign will show no wrongdoing.
“I’m not worried about a single thing in connection with any of the matters under investigation,” he said at Politicon on Saturday, according to Fox News. “Gather the facts, write a report, and share it with the American people — please do that.”
“The way to protect that is [to] show the folks the facts; lay it out,” he added. “Don’t drip it out, don’t leak it out. Give it out. And I’m confident that when the American people see the picture of why we did what we did, their confidence in the institution will be maintained, restored and protected.”
We’re sure there’s a great explanation for why Comey’s FBI sent multiple spies to infiltrate and conduct espionage on the Trump campaign. And why the agency used the Steele dossier to obtain surveillance warrants despite repeated warnings that it was a partisan fabrication.
Of course, a nervous former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper has already said ‘we were just following orders’ from Obama – telling CNN “it’s kind of disconcerting now to be investigated for having done our duty and done what we were told to do by the president.”
As for John Durham and his criminal investigation overseen by Attorney General William Barr, Comey called for more transparency.
“John Durham is someone who has a strong professional reputation, someone I’ve for years thought was an excellent prosecutor,” he said. “I can’t tell what’s going on with the attorney general. I would hope that Mr. Durham will do everything possible to protect his reputation from being damaged by those in leadership, and the most important way he can do that is [to] give us transparency.”
Comey also speculated that Special Counsel Robert Mueller thought his report would result in an impeachment inquiry.
He said he didn’t understand how members of Congress could avoid the impeachment inquiry and still think they were fulfilling their oath of office.
MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, who was moderating the event on Saturday, asked Comey whether he thought the transcript of Trump’s call was enough to impeach him.
Comey said it could be, but acknowledged that he wasn’t privy to all the information that might lead to an accurate accusation.
The former FBI director also praised Mueller but argued that he should have been more transparent with the American people rather than initially give his report to Barr. –Fox News
Lastly, Comey says he’ll move to New Zealand if President Trump is reelected.

Comey: “Bill Barr is a pussy.”
Afraid you are right.
Like any good con, he will stick to the con no matter what happens……Kind of like Baghdad Bob…..”We are defeating the Americans, as an M1A2 tank rolls by in the background”
Let’s hope Barr is not actually a pussy.
Pussy? No, …….. but:

I didn’t realize he was gay.
Most of his ilk are gay, although gay and the J word is the standard model.
OT- Why can’t they just call it meat?

I cannot adequately express just how much I would like to see this asshole and all others like him in D.C. hanging by their neck from a rope and tall tree. But I’d also settle for seeing them lined up in front of a firing squad as well or perhaps run through an industrial wood chipper. I’m not choosy.
All excellent choices. Feet first with a big Vermeer chipper!
those choices are all too fast,something that makes em suffer 4 a long while–
?Gut shoot and stake out over a nest of fire ants?
Shoot both knees with a .22 and throw in a pen with a sow and her piglets.
You think that little of hogs?
Vermeer chipper, but only give it a tablespoon of gas at a time…?
“I was only following orders.” How did that defense workout at the Nuremberg trials? At least the guards at Auschwitz could credibly claim if they refused their orders they’d have been shot. What threat did Comey, Brennan, Clapper, et al face? At any time they could’ve simply resigned, perhaps even blown the whistle on what was happening.
Comey dissembles and prevaricates like a compromised pizza-eater with complete faith and trust in his masters. He may be proven right in the end. But not the very end.
His ego doesn’t allow him to face reality, keep a low profile, and accept he’s busted.
With all the corruption being exposed, a smart man would have gone underground a long time ago. Those involved value human life less than they value the power they stole.
If anyone cares to dig into it they will find this guy is a bundle of contradictions. Compromised in every way. Morally in particular. And his wife is a raging c-unit.
Comey discussing the importance of transparency. How’s that for over the top gall.
The only move to New Zealand will be to avoid extradition.
the arrogance of the people that we’ve gotten to know from the fbi is breathtaking.
After what we know to date, how can anyone actually believe the DOJ / FBI / NSA / CIA are not corrupt from the head of each organization down to at least low mid level. I do mean ALL, regardless of their politics.
The very definition of “loathsome.” Pretty soon instead of the demand for “transparency” it will be “Obama did it” as the weeping begins in the herd on its way to its sorry future where the past is as if time lapsed and quick and today is as agonizingly slow as Hillary’s death rattle.
I expect that. Obama hired a criminal defense attorney a year ago. It’s coming and you may notice the MSM has STFU the last few days since Durham went “criminal” and now this morning Trump’s Syria strategy coming to fruition has knocked them back on their heels. I expect they will be hard put to regain their balance. The Trump counterattack has begun.
This fool should just STFU.
Yeah, we are way past that, in comparison look at head of DNI, Clapper and head of CIA, Brennan…now working for CNN, blabfest, what the fuck? Obviously desperate moves, at least extreme. I guess they all are playing for the same team anyway, but to think individuals with that level of clearance in those agencies would now be gaslighting for journalists is illustrative.
I’d like to put this treasonous Giraffe over my knee and spank him purple!

Off topic: Call it fucking meat!

so he’ll move to 5 eyes member new zealand–
i wonder if this was a freudian slip that tells us who was doing much of the spying on trump & he thinks he’ll be safe there–
NZ is where the .01% believe they can survive whatever may befall the world in the style to which they are accustomed. No idea why there but that is the “in” place for those considered “the right sort of chaps.” So obviously he considers himself one of them or at least a loyal enough retainer to have a reserved spot.
No nukes there.
They think they’ll avoid the fallout when (not if) the world’s 400+something nuke plants go Fukushima due to climate change (cooling water being too warm has already affected some plants) and/or financial and societal collapse.
Most nuke plants are in the Northern hemisphere, so the Southern will be spared in relative terms.
Has anyone ever uttered those words without actually being worried about something? And if you weren’t worried about something, what would you feel the need to make a public announcement about it?
Seems like very odd behavior for a grown man.
Move to New Zealand? After Trump gets re-elected I would bet he’s moving to Florence, Colorado.
Where all the the major fake prisoners like Kaczynski are supposedly held?
I thought Teddy K was the Secret POTUS!
get it straight martel,teddy is sec of def b/c he knows how to run a successful bombing campaign–
Classic!
GITMO
He’ll move to NZ.
i just saw a headline,john conyers died,90 yo–
a throwback to congressmen of old when radical leftists crooks pretended to be moderate–
It’s too late for this shit!

I do believe Napoleon Bonaparte said the same exact thing when he decided to invade Russia and we all know that didn’t work out so well for him errrr
Comey’s ego is so big he could fill a tanker with his own self esteem. He, Schiff and Nadler need to be thrown down a set of stairs.
