Former FBI Director James Comey on Monday railed against President Trump and his Republican allies in Congress, arguing their attacks on the FBI made no sense.
Comey slammed GOP lawmakers for remaining silent while he said Trump disregarded the rule of law.
"So another day of Hillary Clinton’s emails and the Steele dossier,†Comey told reporters after he was interviewed for roughly six hours behind closed doors. “This while the president of the United States is lying about the FBI, attacking the FBI and attacking the rule of law in this country. How does that make any sense?â€
In biting comments, Comey characterized GOP lawmakers as too cowardly to stand up for the FBI for fear of political backlash.
