Comey claimed that Trump has
Former FBI Director James Comey published an op-ed on Wednesday, claiming that President Donald Trump has “eaten” the soul of Attorney General William Barr and soon-to-be former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
In Comey’s New York Times article, he wastes no time denouncing Barr for aiding the “president in using words like ‘no collusion’ and F. B. I. ‘spying’” as well as “downplaying acts of obstruction of justice as products of the president’s being ‘frustrated and angry.’”
Puzzled by Barr and Rosenstein’s “amoral” behavior and “lying,” Comey went on to ask a series of questions trying to figure out: “What happened to these people?”
“Amoral leaders have a way of revealing the character of those around them,” he said referencing the president’s influence.
Comey then contrasted the actions of former Secretary of Defense James Mattis, who resigned “over principle,” to the actions of Barr, who continues to be “misleading” and Rosenstein, who upon resigning, thanked “a president who relentlessly attacked both him and the Department of Justice.
