Watch: James Comey Defiantly Responds to Indictment — ‘I Am Not Afraid’
Former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey claimed he is innocent amid news Thursday that he has been federally indicted.
Comey posted a video to his Instagram account wherein he said he was “not afraid” and felt ready to go to trial.
“My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump. But we couldn’t imagine ourselves living any other way. We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn’t either. Somebody that I love dearly recently said that ‘fear is the tool of a tyrant,’ and she’s right. But I’m not afraid and I hope you’re not either. I hope instead you are engaged, you are paying attention, and you will vote like your beloved country depends upon it which it does,” he stated.
“My heart is broken for the Department of Justice but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system. I’m innocent, so let’s have a trial and keep the faith,” Comey added:
Comey was indicted on one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice, Breitbart News reported on Thursday. (Read more from “Watch: James Comey Defiantly Responds to Indictment — ‘I Am Not Afraid’” HERE)
