Following another day of testimony by James Comey on Capitol Hill, he launched an attack on President Trump, Fox News, and others.
According to The Daily Wire:
Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey attacked President Donald Trump, the Republican Party, Fox News, and Americans on Monday as he complained about having to testify in front of Congress.
“So another day of Hillary Clinton’s emails and the Steele dossier,” Comey said. “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 at all?”
“Republicans used to understand that the actions of a president matter, the words of a president matter, the rule of law matters, and the truth matters,” Comey continued. “Where are those Republicans today?”
“At some point, someone has to stand up and in the face of fear of Fox News, fear of their base, fear of mean tweets,” Comey said before taking questions. “Stand up for the values of this country and not slink away into retirement but stand up and speak the truth.”

Fmr FBI Director James Comey: “People who know better, including Republican members of this body, have to have the courage to stand up and speak the truth, not be cowed by mean tweets or fear of their base. There is a truth and they’re not telling it. Their silence is shameful.” pic.twitter.com/OLVVQVDDXC

Comey went on to blame the degrading reputation of the FBI on President Trump and not the actions he took while he was director of the FBI.
