Former FBI Director James Comey joined MS NOW to complain about his second indictment.
Comey has once again been indicted and has turned to the media to talk trash about the Trump administration and the case against him. Speaking to Nicolle Wallace, he claimed that President Donald Trump “has a bottomless desire to gain revenge against those who’ve criticized him.” Rather ironic, considering the amount of lawfare and action taken against him and the people in his orbit.

“Do you know [Acting Attorney General] Todd Blanche? Did you ever run in the same circles?” Wallace asked.
“I don’t think he might have been a paralegal when I was the U.S. attorney there, but I don’t know. I’m not saying that to be facetious. He started out as a paralegal, which is an important role. But you don’t have much to do with the U.S. Attorney,” Comey explained.
“I ask because I went back and looked, and Donald Trump first used Twitter to call for prosecution in 2017 or 18, and some combination of Don McGahn, then the White House counsel, Jeff Sessions, then the U.S. Attorney, Bill Barr, who came next. There was one guy in between, and then Pam Bondi, I guess, who allowed this to go forward, but only at great cost to that office, which was essentially hollowed out. The variable isn’t Donald Trump’s desire to see you prosecuted; it’s Todd Blanche. And so I wonder if you think there’s anything personal there,” Wallace offered.
“I don’t think so. I think it’s just Donald Trump continuing to move through people until he finds those who will literally do whatever he says. Maybe he’s found that with Mr. Blanche, maybe not,” Comey mused. “Maybe his standards will be too high, as apparently Pam Bondi’s were, which is a bit of a shock. And so she’s apparently headed for some important private sector job we haven’t heard about yet. That may be Mr. Blanche’s future. Or maybe not, I don’t know, but Donald Trump has a bottomless desire to gain revenge against those who’ve criticized him.”
“And I’m not going to stop criticizing him, because I think that’s required if you care about America. And so it will just keep going. If he gets rid of Blanche, he’ll try to find someone else. Look at the bottom of every barrel, there are still apples. And so he will find someone to do what he wants to do,” he continued.
