Former FBI Director James Comey on Friday afternoon dismissed the newly released House Intelligence Committee memo as a “dishonest and misleading” ploy.
Comey did not explicitly reference the memo in his tweet, but he suggested that publicizing the document only hurt the House Intelligence Committee’s relationship with the intelligence community and potentially endangered Americans.
That’s it? Dishonest and misleading memo wrecked the House intel committee, destroyed trust with Intelligence Community, damaged relationship with FISA court, and inexcusably exposed classified investigation of an American citizen. For what? DOJ & FBI must keep doing their jobs.

Comey has become increasingly vocal on Twitter since he was ousted as FBI director last spring. Particularly over the past few days, he has spoken out to defend the FBI and Andrew McCabe, who recently resigned as deputy director of the bureau.
I would like to give a damn about Comey, and yet…
Looks like the dude has been on a roll on Twitter since yesterday’s damnation…
Comey should learn to speak wingnutese, Nunes Memo is a “nothing-burger”…
By the way some wingnuts are not happy at all.
Yes, keep it simple.
Dear Fox Viewer, they are trying to take your Country away from you. Using the dollar menu to boot.
It may well be that this memo starts a war that the Lying Orange Urine-Stain cannot do anything but lose. If anyone at the FBI or within the Intelligence Community was aware of embarrassing things about the President, they might suddenly find themselves inclined to leak those things… because, you know, slander, like trust, is a two way street.
