I know a lot of you libs and haters still believe in Russia Russia.
On December 20, 2016, the FBI found out that the supposed super source behind the fraudulent Steele dossier, the man portrayed as having access to Putin’s innermost secrets, was in fact a total nobody who had interned at the Brookings Institution. When questioned, the supposed super source told the FBI that the dossier was just bar talk.
Despite this, Comey proceeded as though it were real, taking it to the FISA court and briefing Congress on the lies, all while pretending he didn’t know it was made up. Worst of all, he also briefed President Trump, then leaked the fact that he had briefed President Trump, thereby laundering those lies into a full scale investigative and media operation that drove a multi year lawfare campaign against a sitting president and those around him.
So when Comey now adopts a sanctimonious tone about the FBI being “under siege,” it lands with a particular irony. He is the one who turned the FBI into the siege engine.
