As the establishment trots out James Comey to slam Attorney General William Barr out on national television - on the day of Barr's Congressional contempt vote for refusing to hand over an unredacted version of the Mueller report - pressure continues to mount on the former FBI Director who oversaw investigations into both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton during the 2016 US election.
During a Wednesday appearance on "CBS This Morning," Comey said of Barr's four-page summary of the Mueller report: "I’m not suggesting it was intentionally misleading, but it was inadequate to summarize that work."
Comey also said that the FBI does not spy - it "investigates" - referring to the agency's decision to send in noted spy Stefan Halper and an FBI employee posing as his assistant, "Azra Turk," to approach Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos under false pretenses for the purposes of espionage investigating.
"I have no idea what [Barr’s]) talking about. The FBI doesn’t spy. The FBI investigates," said Comey. "The Republicans need to breathe into a paper bag. If we had confronted the same facts with a different candidate, say a Democrat candidate ... they would be screaming for the FBI to investigate, and that’s all we did."

Actually, President Regan was impeached over Watergate
Love to see Comey squirm...
james comey is a proven lying POS
and American TRAITOR
Spying and investigating have two different meanings. FBI spied on Trump's campaign looking for something to investigate. When nothing was found, they fabricated a fictitious crime to investigate, "guaranteeing" a win for hillary. comey's bank accounts need to be audited with a fine tooth comb
Comey needs to use an industrial strength laxative because he's badly backed up, and he's a tall person.
This is a bunch of crap , nothing will be done to Comey or any other person regarding the democrats , you know it and I know it. The blanket of politics is covering all of them. Why the media even says this crap is beyond me.
It’s a shame the FBI didn’t do its job when Obama was running for President.
This guy needs a "Vince Foster" on him!
I missed that one. President Reagan wasn't even our president at the time of the Watergate scandal
