Comey: Trump tried to 'burn down an institution of justice because he saw it as a threat'
By Rachel Frazin - 03/27/19 07:11 PM EDT

Former FBI director James Comey accused President Trump on Wednesday of trying to damage the reputation of the U.S. justice system "because he saw it as a threat."

"I don't think that we've seen in the history of our country, the president try to burn down an institution of justice because he saw it as a threat," Comey told NBC's Lester Holt. "And the lies he told, forget about me, the lies he told about the agents of the FBI, 'storm troopers,' the lies he told about Bob Mueller, were terrible."

But Comey added that any "damage" to the Justice Department's reputation, particularly the FBI, had been worth it.

"n the long run, the institutions will be fine, because the American people know them and also know this president, know what he's like," he continued, referring to Trump.

Comey also told Holt that he believes his 2017 firing by Trump was "potentially obstruction of justice."

Shuck n' jive till your heart's content, Putz, but I suspect fewer and fewer are buying the load of crap you've been selling.

I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing this obsequious a-hole throw himself on the mercy of the court.

If there's damage, Jimmy, you caused it.

Maybe you should shut up now, Comey. If there is any justice, I hope you get your fair share.
