Trump Unloads on “Untruthful Slime Ball” James Comey, a “Proven Leaker” and “Liar”

President Donald Trump ripped fired former FBI director James Comey in response to his new book, calling him a “proven leaker” and an “untruthful slime ball.” Mr. Comey, who was fired and investigated for his mishandling of the Clinton email case, wrote a questionable “tell all” book.

The president unloaded on Mr. Comey Friday morning on Twitter.

“James Comey is a proven LEAKER & LIAR. Virtually everyone in Washington thought he should be fired for the terrible job he did-until he was, in fact, fired. He leaked CLASSIFIED information, for which he should be prosecuted. He lied to Congress under OATH. He is a weak and…..”

“….untruthful slime ball who was, as time has proven, a terrible Director of the FBI. His handling of the Crooked Hillary Clinton case, and the events surrounding it, will go down as one of the worst “botch jobs” of history. It was my great honor to fire James Comey!”

The man who wrote up the recommendation to fire the former director was none other than Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the same man who appointed Mr. Comey’s mentor Special Counsel Robert Mueller. He did so after Mr. Comey leaked a memo with that stated purpose to his friend and Columbia law professor, who in turn leaked portions to the media.

He told members of Congress under oath that he never leaked to the media or authorized a leak. But former deputy director Andrew McCabe, who was recently fired for lying on at least 4 separate occasions during the course of internal investigations, said he was given authorization by Mr. Comey to leak information about the Clinton email probe.
