Former FBI Director James Comey says Attorney General William Barr 'continues to talk as if he's the President's lawyer,' and he believes Barr has 'lost most of his reputation with the way he's conducted himself.' ComeyTownHall

Comey criticized the way Barr previewed the report with his summary to Congress and news conference. He added that Barr still"continues to talk as if he is the President's lawyer.""That is not the attorney general's job. It's a political appointment by the President, but you lead an institution that belongs to the American people and not the President," Comey said.

"Read MoreHe did praise Barr for leaving most of the report unredacted, but he said the job Barr is doing will ultimately hurt his legacy."He's an accomplished and very smart person who had nothing to lose in taking this job but his reputation, but I really -- it doesn't make me happy to say this, but I think he has lost most of his reputation with the way he has conducted himself," Comey said.Asked why Barr was doing what he was doing, Comey said he didn't know.

Why do you continue to worship a man who sold out his country for vanity and cash and is a borderline traitor?

Oh Jamesy. Is that like when u played FBI Director & Attorney General? U talking about someone's reputation should b illegal. Ur laughed everytime u open ur mouth. R u setting up 4 that insanity plea ur useing when ur crimes come out?

Why is giving this jackoff a town hall?

I wouldn’t expect Comey to understand complying with federal law. He was too busy seeking WH appproval of his draft findings with HRC.

When any FBI Agent, Supervisor, Agent in Charge, Director, leave their jobs they sign a non disclosure agreement to not divulge any sensitive information and to be discreet. This clown doesn't follow any of that.

Hahahaha says the man who thought he was the Attorney General and went public regarding Hillary Clinton and her grossly negligence of mishandling of classified material. That wasn't his job. The FBI doesn't prosecute; they only investigate and spy.

So says a man without a job.

Yeah. Barr is so awful. Telling the truth like some kind of honest lawyer. Protecting the Constitution by refusing to break the laws Congress wrote... literally can't even...who does he think he is. 🤪🤪🙃

Shame on you.

James Comey is a disgraced man so I don't think he can comment on someones' reputation

A bureaucrat ‘s favorite word = concerning- Comey got Collusion WRONG- why isn’t that concerning.

Barr is millions of times better than Comey.

GET REAL When you pay for and create FAKENEWS like SteeleDossier to obtain FISAabuse to Wiretap your incoming political opponents as an InsurancePolicy known as ObamaGate 7 SPYGATE & Rigging MuellerTime as a COVER-UP Criminal Weaponization of GOV'T is TREASON

I concur.

Is Comey worried

DeepStateCorruption

This is CNN one of the stars of UNFREEDOM of the PRESS. Will be a best seller.

You have to be mentally unbalanced to sit and talk with insignificant piece of inconvenience like Comey.

Your precious Barry said the same thing as Trump. Well my my my!!

Look, he’s right. Of course I agree with him. I don’t like giving him credit because IM STILL NOT OVER HIM AMD THE F’ING EMAILS RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION!!!!!! GO AWAY ComeyTownHall 😫😡😫😡😫😡 StillWithHer Hillary2020

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

James...

FINALLY THE LOCAL NEWS STATIONS ON OUR BORDER ARE REPORTING THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS UN MASS INVASION PACT THAT'S HAPPENING ON OUR SOUTHERN BORDER!! THIS IS WAY PAST A CRISIS AMERICA!!

CNN working overtime to try and discredit Barr on behalf of the DNC.

Wow, wonder what the IG report will say. Seems these guys are kinda, well 0-1 on the Truth scoreboard.

Totally agree. Question, was Barr's reputation that great to began with? Just have a hunch it was only so, so.

I guess if things are not the way u crooked people wanted them to be like people telling the truth and doing what’s right u impeach and prosecute

He says this as if Holder wasn’t held in contempt, Obama didn’t use executive privilege and the Obama DOJ declined to prosecute Holder. Career politicians are just better at hiding their bias.

Lol...the left is about to be duped by Democrats and CNN once again. If they could only see how FOOLISH they look. FISAGate Treason Fraud Democrats

Lmao.

So says the leaking lying disgraced fired loser

Oh my how shameful

Sounds to me like Comey is feeling the pressure. He should. He appears to be in legal jeopardy. When you have no other options, try to attack and discredit. But it won’t work.

Comey stating Barr has lost HIS reputation! U’ve got to be f***ing kidding me.

Because of this man and the Democratic party, We will never see what a fair and impartial justice system looks like... Shameful shit

I hope all the people who watched understood how Director Comey phrased this statement. Cautiously. It must be shocking for all law enforcement to hear and watch Barr.

Barr has clearly joined the dark side and doesn't care about his reputation anymore.

Former FBI Director James Comey says 'I continue to talk as if I'm relevant' and he believes he has 'lost most of his reputation with the way he's conducted himself.' That's what it should say.

Hahaha, cnn still suks & fires 100 losers! Carry on!

Comey is a Russian Asset that was fired by POTUS , and in addition to his lies to FISA Court, this b i t c h better have a good lawyer; he’s going down.

Distraction.

He has the right to remain silent!

Tick tock Comey
