President Obama Goes After FBI’s Comey

'We don't operate on innuendo' — President Obama discusses Hillary, emails, and the FBI in an exclusive interview with NowThis




Obama criticizes FBI –> The president went after FBI head James Comey yesterday on Hillary Clinton’s behalf. “We don’t operate on incomplete information,” Obama said in an interview with Versha Sharma of NowThis News. “We don’t operate on leaks. We operate based on concrete decisions that are made.” The New York Times reports: “Without mentioning Mr. Comey by name — although it was clear whom he meant — Mr. Obama suggested that the F.B.I. had violated investigative guidelines and trafficked in innuendo by alerting Congress last week. Mr. Obama’s remarks, which followed searing criticism of the F.B.I. director from both parties, make it harder for Mr. Comey to defuse the worst crisis of his tenure at the bureau.”

due to the unfair way he's been treated.

He's been forced to criticize former Presidents more than any President before him.
He's been forced to criticize his own FBI Head appointee.
He's been forced to spend more time campaigning for his successor than any President before him, because the alternative is so nuts.

He's still been a great President in spite of all the distractions!

A 15 year old girl victim of a pervert so he Director of the FBI could score political points. There needs to be a new Director of the FBI as soon as he resigns clears out his office and Congress approves President Clinton's choice.

Purging Russian influenced FBI agents needs to be job 1 for the FBI.

the President.. you blew it MF. You let the gop harass you into blowing it big time. If that is indeed why you interjected yourself into the Presidential Election with more of Hillary's insipid email talk.

TY for this, C!
