‘The President Is a Liar’

May 28, 2019 · 5:46 pm ET · Leave a Comment

James Comey: “It is tempting for normal people to ignore our president when he starts ranting about treason and corruption at the FBI. But we shouldn’t, because millions of good people believe what a president of the United States says.”

“In normal times, that’s healthy. But not now, when the president is a liar who doesn’t care what damage he does to vital institutions. We must call out his lies that the FBI was corrupt and committed treason, that we spied on the Trump campaign, and tried to defeat Donald Trump.”
