Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey — who really should be in prison, and if there’s any justice will be soon — seemed right at home with MSNBC’s Jen Psaki attacking Republicans as “white supremacist adjacent” after his little shell game was rightly denounced for the threat against President Donald Trump it represented.
In a grotesquely pandering interview more flaccid than Comey’s conscience, Psaki let the weaselly old Deep Stater do what he does best: lie. With the complicity of the former White House cover-up queen, Comey was given free rein to shrug off the violence implicit in his now-deleted “Cool shell formation” photo while shamelessly shilling his latest novel. Along the way, he worked his Comey over on a host of topics, taking aim at his political enemies like the conniving practitioner of politically weaponized justice he has long been. Not surprisingly, he saved much of his venom for the 47th president, whom, Comey is clearly “obsessed” with in a “weird way.”
‘Cultural Impediments’
In the softball session of MSNBC’s The Briefing, Psaki accused the Trump administration of “testing the system in ways it hasn’t been tested before.” The leftist spinmeister, who after years of covering up President Joe Biden’s senility has no standing to opine on the Washington Nationals’ Racing Presidents let alone President Trump’s restoration agenda, believes enforcing laws and the very rule of law are “testing the system.”
She asked Comey, “In the law enforcement sense,” if he thinks there are laws that congress should pass that would “help better manage this?” “This,” of course, meaning representative democracy in a constitutional republic.
The guy who broke FBI policy and the law and should have been prosecuted for breaking both, told Psaki there are “cultural impediments” in the way of doing such work.
“Let’s say you work in the FBI. You know that one of the two political parities is, let me put it nicely, white supremacist adjacent,” Comey audaciously claimed to the DNC mouthpiece. He proved again that the last refuge of the scoundrel isn’t patriotism, it’s lodging false charges of racism against political enemies. But then Comey is a master baiter.
‘Real, Serious Threats’
Even after accumulating a laundry list of integrity lapses, of playing politics with the most powerful law enforcement agency in the country, Comey sees himself as the heir to a misattribution to philosopher/statesman Edmund Burke.
“There are real, serious threats and the only thing that’s necessary for them to triumph is for good men and women to be silent,” he flatulently told Psaki.
Good men and women have and continue to stand up — to threats to the republic from Swamp rats and Deep State creatures like Comey.
Psaki and Comey commiserated over their bizarro world idea of victims, Big Government bureaucrats at the Global Engagement Center (GEC) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), a key player in the federal government-led censorship-industrial complex. What should the purveyors of weaponized justice do as the Trump administration calls them to account? Delusional Comey, who sees himself as a victim, advises his former Deep State chums to see the threat clearly but “don’t let it overwhelm you.”
Psaki, like Comey, has long had a toxic relationship with the truth. She shrugged off the former FBI chief’s Instagram stunt in which he posted a pic of seashells spelling out “8647” as a “relatively benign social media post.” Psaki blithely claimed Comey “came across” what he first described as a “cool shell formation” while strolling along the beach. Later, Comey insisted he had no idea that the term “86” has been used by the mob to describe killing someone, taking them eight miles out and burying them six feet under ground. in this case, deranged Trump haters have applied the violent expression to the 47th president of the United States.
But Comey, who spent his early federal law enforcement career prosecuting the notorious Gambino crime family, dubiously says he had no idea the expression was associated with violence. Anyone with eyes knows Comey is selling a crock. Understandably, his games didn’t sit well with federal law enforcement officials less than a year after two attempts on Trump’s life. Shortly after his Instagram post, the U.S. Secret Service had some questions for the Trump-hating ex-FBI director.
Comey, who gives Leave It to Beaver’s Eddie Haskell a run for his money in smarminess, told Psaki that he was “trying to withdraw a little bit, especially since last November,” when he blasted out his controversial post to 140,000 of his closest Instagram friends. He just wanted to “wear t-shirts and jeans all the time.” Just be “a grandfather, be an author.” Of course, Comey quietly wanted to sell his latest novel, with a very loud public relations campaign.
He says he’s only back in his “old uniform,” his suit and tie, because he “must stand up to speak.” He “can speak about the rule of law.” Comey could give a master class on how he abused it.
He’s not a hero. He’s a shill. A Swamp prostitute.
And James Comey should be in prison right now, and he will be if there’s any justice.
