The liberal media is once again amplifying the hysterical outbursts of disgraced former FBI Director James Comey, who launched into a melodramatic five-minute tirade against President Trump after his daughter, Maurene Comey, was fired from her role as a federal prosecutor in the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s office.
Predictably, Comey and his allies are spinning this personnel decision as some grand political conspiracy, ignoring the fact that the Justice Department has every right to restructure its team—especially when it comes to removing individuals tied to the same deep-state operatives who spent years weaponizing the DOJ against conservatives.
Comey, who was famously fired by Trump in 2017 for his incompetent handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation and his role in perpetuating the Russia collusion hoax, now claims that the DOJ’s “reservoir of trust” is under attack. In a sanctimonious Substack video, he whined, “Trump and the hacks who lead the Department of Justice are hammering at the dam day after day, trying to turn it into just another gold-leaf-covered Trump subsidiary.” This from the same man who oversaw one of the most politically biased FBI regimes in history—an agency that spied on a sitting president based on a fabricated dossier funded by the Clinton campaign.
Maurene Comey, meanwhile, couldn’t resist taking a parting shot at the administration, writing to colleagues, “Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought.” The irony is staggering. Where was this righteous indignation when the Obama-Biden DOJ targeted conservative journalists, Tea Party groups, and Trump associates? The liberal media, of course, ignores this hypocrisy, instead portraying the Comeys as martyrs rather than enablers of the very corruption they now falsely accuse Trump of perpetuating.
President Trump has long vowed to drain the swamp, and that includes removing holdovers from a justice system that spent years abusing its power to target political opponents. The DOJ’s decision to dismiss Maurene Comey may well have been based on merit—after all, the Associated Press admitted “no specific reason was given” for her termination. But in the eyes of the liberal media, any action taken by the Trump administration is automatically deemed nefarious.
WATCH
The truth is, the American people elected Trump to restore accountability to a justice system that had been hijacked by partisan operatives. The Comeys, with their long history of self-righteous posturing, represent the very swamp Trump was elected to clean up. While the left screeches about “tyranny,” they turn a blind eye to the real abuse of power—the weaponization of federal agencies under Obama and Biden.
It’s obvious he is reading this statement. It’s funny, the more he and his ilk speak, the deeper the hole they are digging. I’m looking forward to when the hole is so deep they will all disappear.
