James Comey: ‘Public Record’ Can’t Explain Why Ex-FBI Lawyer Doctored Email in Russia Inquiry

Former FBI Director James Comey admits he is worried about the criminal inquiry into the Russia investigation.

The prominent Trump critic has been on a media blitz in the week since the Senate Intelligence Committee released a report on the Trump 2016 campaign’s ties to Russia and after U.S. Attorney John Durham got his first plea deal from a former FBI lawyer. While Comey described the charge as a serious ordeal, he also downplayed the significance of the ex-lawyer’s actions as being an inexplicable anomaly, at least in terms of what is out there in the public eye. He told CNN on Tuesday that he’s not concerned about what the federal prosecutor will uncover, but rather how the Justice Department might try to politicize the findings.

“Of course I worry about anything this administration is doing, especially this notion that they need to investigate the investigators after the investigators had been investigated by everybody already,” Comey told host Anderson Cooper.

“I don’t know what they’re doing, so it’s hard for me to say,” he added. “I hope, at some point, the American people get transparency into what John Durham is doing and what he’s found, and I’m confident he’ll find the work was done in a professional way, but I just don’t know. And I’m skeptical that they will be respectful of conducting themselves like professionals.” (Read more from “James Comey: ‘Public Record’ Can’t Explain Why Ex-FBI Lawyer Doctored Email in Russia Inquiry” HERE)
