Comey says he fears possible counterinvestigation after Mueller report
2019-04-03
[Politico] Former FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday condemned President Donald Trump’s calls for a possible investigation into how special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia inquiry started, adding that it creates a troubling precedent.

During an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, Comey was asked about whether he feared possible counterinvestigations.

"I don't fear it personally. I fear it as a citizen," he said. "Right? Investigate what? Investigate that investigations were conducted? What would be the crime you’d be investigating? So it’s a terrible cycle to start."

Several days after Attorney General William Barr released his summary of Mueller’s report, Trump and his team have called for investigations into how the probe began.

"Hopefully, somebody is going to look at the other side," Trump told reporters late last month. The president’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, has also made similar statements.

#9  FYVM James. Obama, your boss, sicced about every agency he could against his perceived enemies, the CIA, FBI, ATF, BLM, IRS, DOJ, EPA and others. Comey, you are a misguided miscreant. You are a Clinton and Obama tool. You should have resigned in the face of all the wrongdoing. So again, FYVM. The Nuremberg defense didn't work yesterday and it won't today. Your phony moralizing and self-righteous indignation is transparent--about the only thing that was transparent from the last administration.

#8  What would be the crime you’d be investigating?

Well, for starters, how about that fraudulently obtained FISA warrant? Of course, it's no surprise that Amanpour didn't bother to ask him about that.

#7  "I don't fear it personally. I fear it as a citizen,"

Aside from all the laws this dickhead broke & abused, what nauseates me about him is the world class self-righteousness.

Then again, Jimmy boy, I think you should fear it personally - hope you have your lawyer on speed dial.

#6  It's sedition people, not treason. Treason is specifically defined in the Constitution (unless you are 'progressive' in its interpretation).

#2  Of course he's afraid, he knows he's a lying treasonous bastard who deserves to be jailed for his crimes, along with all his friends.

I'm ruling out the Abilene paradox.
