President Donald Trump targeted former FBI Director James Comey and his former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe with a series of criticism in tweets early Sunday morning.
Trump led off with a criticism of Comey’s possible political bias in his handling of the Hillary Clinton investigation.
Unbelievably, James Comey states that Polls, where Crooked Hillary was leading, were a factor in the handling (stupidly) of the Clinton Email probe. In other words, he was making decisions based on the fact that he thought she was going to win, and he wanted a job. Slimeball!

He then took a shot at Comey’s book, “A Higher Loyalty,” which is set to be released on Tuesday, and accused the former FBI director of lying to Congress and giving up classified information.
The big questions in Comey’s badly reviewed book aren’t answered like, how come he gave up Classified Information (jail), why did he lie to Congress (jail), why did the DNC refuse to give Server to the FBI (why didn’t they TAKE it), why the phony memos, McCabe’s $700,000 & more?

President Trump also accused Comey of throwing former Attorney General Loretta Lynch “under the bus,” raising questions about the Bill Clinton and AG Lynch “tarmac meeting.”
Comey throws AG Lynch “under the bus!” Why can’t we all find out what happened on the tarmac in the back of the plane with Wild Bill and Lynch? Was she promised a Supreme Court seat, or AG, in order to lay off Hillary. No golf and grandkids talk (give us all a break)!
