Trump threatens Comey with 'years in jail' over FBI Russia report
[PRESSTV] US President Donald Trump

with "years in jail" over the bureau’s Russia investigation.

The threat came after Comey admitted in an interview with Fox News Sunday that he was "overconfident" when he defended his former agency's use of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) during a probe into the alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election.

According to Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s new report, there had been 17 "significant errors and omissions" made by the FBI’s investigative team when applying for a FISA warrant to surveil Carter Page, a former Trump campaign adviser in 2016.

"He's right, I was wrong," Comey said about how the bureau used the FISA process. "I was overconfident in the procedures that the FBI had built over 20 years. I thought they were robust enough. It’s incredibly hard to get a Fisa and he was right there was real sloppiness. It was not acceptable."

The president followed up by attacking Comey, whom he fired in May 2017, saying he was admitting "because he got caught red-handed."

#4 I don't see a threat in Trump's tweet. Maybe that what's they do in Iran.

Comey deserves a long stint in the Graybar. He has been covering up for the Clintons for years. He has caused a great deal of harm to many citizens.
