WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican National Committee plans an aggressive response to an upcoming memoir by fired FBI director James Comey. The focus will be on past Democratic criticism of Comey.

The RNC plans to use a website, digital ads and television surrogates to discredit Comey. Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel says in a statement that Comey is “a liar and a leaker, and his misconduct led both Republicans and Democrats to call for his firing.”

Trump fired Comey last year while he was leading the investigation into possible collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russian officials during the 2016 election.

Republicans will highlight Democratic criticism of Comey over his handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email.

    Early reports are that it mostly involves stomping their feet, covering their ears, and yelling, “Na, na, na, na . . .”

    Because they have never heard of the Streisand Effect.

  3. Aggressive Responses Also Planned By Fox News, Traitor Donald, and the Putin Administration (Both The One In Russia And The One In America)

  4. I cant wait to read it. Hopefully it will be available in pdf on the release date.

  5. The Streisand effect is the phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the Internet.
