Comey rips 'weasels and liars,' invokes Joe McCarthy in Twitter rant
Fox News, Feb 1, 2018, Samuel Chamberlain

Former FBI Director James Comey lashed out at unnamed "weasels and liars" on social media late Thursday, hours before President Trump was expected to declassify a controversial memo about purported surveillance abuses over the objections of Democrats.

"All should appreciate the FBI speaking up. I wish more of our leaders would," Comey wrote on Twitter. "But take heart: American history shows that, in the long run, weasels and liars never hold the field, so long as good people stand up.

"Not a lot of schools or streets named for Joe McCarthy," Comey added, a reference to the Wisconsin senator who claimed high-ranking government officials were Soviet spies in the 1950s.

He's universally unpopular.  Howard University students chanted 'Comey is not my homey' during his speech.

Seems to me, as I recall it, that Old Joe was absolutely right about the communists, no matter how much revision of history the left and Hollywood perform.

Absolutely he was and it has been conclusively proven!

Ann Coulter also discussed it in her book Treason, written a few years earlier.

Yes she did because Mr. Evans was kind enough to share some of his research with her or so I've been told by someone who should know.

The Evans book I linked is heavily footnoted and all of his sources are annotated in the book's appendix.

Yes, he was.  Maybe we should erect a statue to him somewhere.
