James Comey’s first interview since President Trump fired him as director of the FBI has enraged his former agents, who deluged The Daily Beast with their disdain as they watched him tell his side of the story to George Stephanopoulos on Sunday night.
Seven current or former FBI agents and officials spoke throughout and immediately after the broadcast. There was a lot of anger, frustration, and even more emojis—featuring the thumbs-down, frowny face, middle finger, and a whole lot of green vomit faces.
One former FBI official sent a bourbon emoji as it began; another sent the beers cheers-ing emoji. The responses became increasingly angry and despondent as the hourlong interview played out.
“Hoover is spinning in his grave,” said a former FBI official. “Making money from total failure.”
When a promo aired between segments announcing Comey’s upcoming interview with The View, the official grew angrier.
“Good lord, what a self-serving self-centered jackass,” the official said. “True to form he thinks he’s the smartest guy around.”
Maybe Clinton supporters, and Hillary herself, should remind themselves just who it was the kept classified State Department information on a secret, private, unsecured server, lied about it, destroyed evidence and obstructed justice and stonewalled the investigation as much as they possibly could. Had she actually been innocent, she could have been cleared LONG before the campaign.
But, she wasn’t innocent. She was guilty. And, she perjured herself to boot.
But Comey felt he should protect her because she was probably going to win. Now, THAT’S a sense of justice and dedication to duty.
I guess it came as quite a shock to the rank and file to find out their once-Director was such a lying putz.
