With news last week that the Justice Department has shifted an administrative review into the origins of Russiagate into a criminal inquiry, former FBI Director James Comey says he’s confident that a full investigation into the counterintelligence operation against President Trump’s 2016 campaign will show no wrongdoing.
“I’m not worried about a single thing in connection with any of the matters under investigation,” he said at Politicon on Saturday, according to Fox News. “Gather the facts, write a report, and share it with the American people — please do that.”
“The way to protect that is [to] show the folks the facts; lay it out,” he added. “Don’t drip it out, don’t leak it out. Give it out. And I’m confident that when the American people see the picture of why we did what we did, their confidence in the institution will be maintained, restored and protected.”
Shorter Comey: “I’m not worried because it was Obama that ordered Brennan to trick me, Clapper, McCabe, Page, Strzok et al. into using Hillary’s Fusion GPS scam to hoodwink the FISA Court into allowing us to spy on the Trump campaign, dammit!”https://t.co/yYZ4t2STPz

We’re sure there’s a great explanation for why Comey’s FBI sent multiple spies to infiltrate and conduct espionage on the Trump campaign. And why the agency used the Steele dossier to obtain surveillance warrants despite repeated warnings that it was a partisan fabrication.
Of course, a nervous former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper has already said ‘we were just following orders’ from Obama - telling CNN “it’s kind of disconcerting now to be investigated for having done our duty and done what we were told to do by the president.”

As for John Durham and his criminal investigation overseen by Attorney General William Barr, Comey called for more transparency.
“John Durham is someone who has a strong professional reputation, someone I’ve for years thought was an excellent prosecutor,” he said. “I can’t tell what’s going on with the attorney general. I would hope that Mr. Durham will do everything possible to protect his reputation from being damaged by those in leadership, and the most important way he can do that is [to] give us transparency.”
Comey also speculated that Special Counsel Robert Mueller thought his report would result in an impeachment inquiry.
He said he didn’t understand how members of Congress could avoid the impeachment inquiry and still think they were fulfilling their oath of office.
MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, who was moderating the event on Saturday, asked Comey whether he thought the transcript of Trump’s call was enough to impeach him.
Comey said it could be, but acknowledged that he wasn’t privy to all the information that might lead to an accurate accusation.
The former FBI director also praised Mueller but argued that he should have been more transparent with the American people rather than initially give his report to Barr. -Fox News
Lastly, Comey says he’ll move to New Zealand if President Trump is reelected.

Oh, Jimmy, Jimmy. Now it’s Obama’s fault and he tricked you?
“I’m not worried because it was Obama that ordered Brennan to trick me, Clapper, McCabe, Page, Strzok et al. into using Hillary’s Fusion GPS scam to hoodwink the FISA Court into allowing us to spy on the Trump campaign, dammit!”
lol, I’d be very worried. DOJ better do something, as this concerns the American Citizens’ FBI
“What is the role of the Federal Bureau of Investigation?
The FBI’s main goal is to protect and defend the United States, to uphold and enforce the criminal laws of the United States, and to provide leadership and criminal justice services to federal, state, municipal, and international agencies and partners.”
Being “tricked” is NO EXCUSE of breaking the law. And to the American citizens at that.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
I’ve ALWAYS believed OBAMA ordered the hits on Trump and his campaign. That’s why you see the likes of Cardinal Comey speaking so confidently. He’s more than convinced that he is ‘legally’ innocent of wrong-doing, BECAUSE his commander and chief ORDERED the hit. He was doing what he was told.
I just wonder if his got body guards watching his back . . .
The IG and Durham reports will be out in a few days. We’ll see more of them ‘speaking out’. Wonder who will finger OBAMA?
You should be worried unless you’re going to be the one that flip’s and spill’s ALL the beans. From what I’ve read, there’s a lot of evidence against you and your cronies.
Does anyone else have an extremely hard time entering the captcha code?? I do it takes about 8 time’s!!!! Ugh
This is too rich! Comey’s demands ‘transparency’, yet he conducted a plot in the FBI to bring President down-in secrecy! He kept classified documents in his own home, then leaked them to a reporter! He set the FBI to spy on our President. He admitted giving the info to the reporter!! The only criminals are Comey, Brennan, Baker, Clapper, Pelosi, Obama, H Clinton, the FBI, & the CIA.!! Shame on them all. If AG Barr & John Durham don’t bring criminal charges into convictions, the USA is lost forever, & descending into socialism & the NWO. I beg my fellow Americans to plz finally open their eyes to the scheming against our elected President. Ask yourself if you really want these corrupt officials & democrat congress members to do to you what they’ve been doing to our President. That will happen, & you’ve been warmed!!
He’ll still be defiant as he is perp-walked out of the courtroom LOL.
Nope I think when it’s time, he will cry like a baby. And start blubbering and naming names. Like most kids do when caught. “I didn’t do it, he did.” Gee kind of what he’s doing now, but can be brave because he hides behind fake news who throw softballs.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
Lets just put Comey in jail he lies greatly then say’s some one told him too
