Comey admits error in defense of FBI's FISA process after IG report: 'He was right, I was wrong'

By Ronn Blitzer | Fox News

James Comey on findings from DOJ inspector general's report on alleged FISA abuse

Former FBI Director James Comey joins Chris Wallace for an exclusive interview on 'Fox News Sunday.'

Former FBI Director James Comey admitted on "Fox News Sunday" that the recently released Justice Department Inspector General�s report on the launch of the FBI�s Russia investigation and their use of the surveillance process showed that he was "overconfident" when he defended his former agency's use of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

This comes days after IG Michael Horowitz�s report and testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee detailed concerns that included 17 �significant errors and omissions� by the FBI�s investigative team when applying for a FISA warrant to monitor former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Horowitz referred �the entire chain of command� to the FBI and DOJ for �how to assess and address their performance failures� during the probe, which was conducted while Comey was in charge.

"He's right, I was wrong," Comey said about how the FBI used the FISA process, adding, "I was overconfident as director in our procedures."-- excerpt, rest at link above --

Oh, no, you're not going to turn this into a "mistake"!

A Republic, if we can keep it.

This piece of scum can't backtrack now. He belongs in prison and I hope that's where he ends up. Pious, pompous clown.

The Constitution matters, at least it should.

So now Comey�s admitting he was wrong. Wow, but he�s only doing so because he got caught red handed. He was actually caught a long time ago. So what are the consequences for his unlawful conduct. Could it be years in jail? Where are the apologies to me and others, Jim?

I wish I could borrow the line "You're going to jail buddy!" from the movie Clear and Present Danger but I don't think I can.

Our Republic is dead!

We will never again be truly FREE people for so long as we continue to abide the Marxist Income Tax Code and the IRS!

James �I was wrong� Comey now claims he was not kept informed and didn�t know. Right. So why did you mouth off for 2 years pretending you did know?

Whenever Comey gets caught in a lie, he feigns ignorance or amnesia. By his malevolence, he has cemented his legacy of disgrace.

Sure, Jimmy. Apologize and one does not have to go to jail, right?

There is simply only one way to mitigate this happening again.

Send scum like him to jail.

My own answer is no. Guidance is fine. Voluntary self-isolation is fine, and strongly advisable for the more vulnerable. Most of them will do it by choice. But coercion is not fine. There is no moral or principled justification for it. Lord Sumpton
