Victor Davis Hanson: James Comey Tried to Take Down Trump. Now, He’s Facing Justice.

Obama administration FBI Director James Comey has been indicted by the DOJ for his role in the Russiagate hoax and 2016 election interference.

In the first of a two-part series, Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the moral implications of Comey’s tenure as FBI director—marked by some of the most controversial decisions in modern American political history—on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“James Comey, remember, also, he met with Donald Trump. And they had a confidential conversation. That's not in dispute. And James Comey assured the president of the United States that he was not the subject of an FBI investigation. That was false. Now, he may not have said that under oath, but he admitted he said that, and so did Donald Trump.

“He lied to the president of the United States. And then what did he do? He took that conversation and ‘memorialized it.’ … He did not file them officially with the FBI. He put them in his private safe as safekeeping or insurance, so that he could embarrass the president of the United States, if he was ever threatened with firing.”
