Former FBI Director James Comey on Wednesday defended the investigations into President Donald Trump’s campaign after reports of interference by Russian agents in 2016, using a comparison that seems bound to get under the president’s skin

.

“Close your eyes. Again, change the names. Let me make one up for you,” said Comey, whom Trump fired in 2017. “The Iranians — this is totally made up — the Iranians interfere in the election to help elect Barack Obama because they think they’ll get a better nuclear deal from him. And during that election an Obama aide meets with the Iranians and talks about the dirt they have that will help Obama get elected. And the FBI finds out about that.

Trump has routinely been seen as cozying up to Russia, including a summit with President Vladimir Putin last summer where the president said he trusted Putin’s denial over U.S. intelligence that Russia meddled in the elections.

... there's a real irony floating to the top with the Mueller report … it's now clear the only Americans who colluded with Russia during the 2016 Election were HillaryClinton and TheDemocrats …jaketapper peterbakernyt MaddowBlog IngrahamAngle nytimes nytimespolitics

He’s scared because He sent a lot of people to jail and now its his turn!

Now both Clinton and Trump have walked off, without so much as a slap on the wrist.

As he is being lead away to serve 20 years for defrauding the FISA court and leaking classified documents. And participating in a conspiracy to overthrow the government. He can defend all he wants.

Comey: If U don't know the difference between a vetted source & a politicized report paid for by the opposition party, then U deserved to be fired. Brennan as well. Y'all allowed the CIA & FBI to become a political weapon via the wrap-up-smear. Clinton & Obama smarter than U.

What he did to Hillary I will never forgive him for, but what Trump is doing to the FBI and the Dept. Of Justice is so wrong. He has no respect for the laws of this country and the people who do their jobs every day. Comey is yelling the truth. The disrespect has got to stop.

Great question. Why didn’t Comey investigate collusion between Obama and Iran?

Comey didn't even verify the dossier before he used it. He already knew it was biased.

Comey

All smile and chummy...

Gotta agree there. Typical rwnj comment is that Obama committed 'treason'. When pressed, how, exactly? I never get a specific answer.

It was brilliant a brilliant example.

Imagine if Trump was smuggling Guns to Russia, so that it created instability in Russia. Now change Trump to Obama and Russia to Mexico!!!

why not imagine if it was obama and russian? we have him colluding on tape with dmitri medev and everything.

No one need to imagine that... it happened.

Former FBI Director James Comey 'can't quite understand' why Mueller passed obstruction decision to Attorney General Bill BarrFor the same reason Hillary did not face charges for deleting thousands of emails and destroying the servers. This guy Comey needs to go away It quite possible Mueller didn’t. He was probably lied too. After all tRump picked Barr, his son works for tRump and his daughter. Sure sounds like cover up to me.
