Trump drops nukes on Comey ahead of big 20/20 special interview
President Trump used Twitter Sunday to drop nukes on James Comey ahead of his 20/20 special interview. The left is looking forward to tonight like their super bowl. They are hoping that Comey’s trash nothingburger book can do what Michael Wolff’s book nor Stormy Daniels could not do, take Trump down.
Trump fired off a series of tweets ahead of Comey’s first interview on the book, which offers his version of the events surrounding his firing as FBI director by Trump and the investigations into Russian election meddling and Hillary Clinton’s email practices. The interview will air Sunday night on ABC.
Trump says first “I never asked Comey for Personal Loyalty. I hardly even knew this guy. Just another of his many lies. His “memos” are self serving and FAKE!

Trump followed up by calling Comey “slippery, a man who always ends up badly and out of wack ( he is not smart!) will go down as the Worst FBI Director in history, by far!

He also suggested Comey should be imprisoned, saying, “how come he gave up Classified Information (jail), why did he lie to Congress (jail).” There is no indication Comey is under investigation for doing either.
Asked if the president wanted the Justice Department to investigate Comey, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that she was not aware of a specific request. But, she said, “if they feel there was any wrongdoing, they should certainly look into that just as they do on a number of other topics.”
Trump has said he fired Comey because of his handling of the FBI’s investigation into Clinton’s email practices. Trump used the investigation as a to attack Clinton in the campaign and repeatedly said Clinton should be jailed for using a personal email system while serving as secretary of state. Democrats, on the other hand, have accused Comey of politicizing the investigation.
James Comey is on a reputation saving tour ahead of his book release. The 20/20 special interview and book are expected to turn up nothing new. He will end up like Stormy Daniels, Robert Mueller and other Trump attackers looking like a big goofy fool.
