Corruption: In the days since fired FBI Director James Comey testified to a joint hearing of the House Judiciary and Government Oversight committees, we are learning more about the man who once ran the most powerful law enforcement agency in the country - perhaps in the world - as well as the manner in which it operates, and it isn't boding well for our republic.
Former FBI Director James Comey told Congress last week that he remembers signing a FISA court application relating to Carter Page in October 2016, but he said he doesn't remember if the application stated that the information had been verified.
Comey also told the House Judiciary Committee he never met nor spoke with Christopher Steele, the author of the anti-Trump dossier; he doesn't know how Steele's information reached the FBI; and he doesn't know "In particular" how the FBI went about investigating the information Steele provided.
House Freedom Caucus member Jim Jordan, R-Ohio., pointed out another incredible admission Comey made during his testimony in an appearance Monday night with Fox News' Martha McCallum: Comey said he saw no "Legal precedence" to present exculpatory evidence to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court when applying for a warrant to spy on an American citizen.
"Yes, in the sense that I thought it was important to understand that it was a politically motivated effort, first by Republicans, then by Democrats," Comey responded.
How could the FBI director not know that, especially when Steele was working for him and his agency in one of the most high-profile investigations in a century?
What's terrifying is that if Comey was put in charge of the FBI with this kind of mindset, imagine how many more there are just like him who are currently serving within the bureau right now.
