“I sent them. I probably would not have done that or maybe gotten away with in a more organized administration. There is a process to that such that if the FBI wanted to send agents into the White House itself to interview a senior official, it would work through the White House counsel and there would be discussions and approvals and it would be there. I thought it is early enough in the administration, so I said lets just send a couple of guys over there." - James Comey, disgraced former FBI director.
ICHEOKU says he knew that it was wrong but he did it anyway, begging the question, will he ever be held accountable. Will James Comey be allowed to get away with it in the Trump government as he had boasted that he would not have gotten away with it in previous Bush and Obama governments, presupposing that he got away with it in the Trump administration. ICHEOKU says has he gotten away with it or he had spoken too early, oblivious that the wheel of justice grinds slowly. American people are waiting and watching to see what happens next as such impunity was rather too brazen to be swept under the rug.
It is imperative that such conduct be discouraged in the future and the only way to ensure that convincingly, is to take action against the former director by prosecuting him to the full extent of the law possible. What happened to Michael Flynn should not be viewed with any partisan lenses whatsoever nor should it be dismissed as just a Trump's presidency matter. No, it should be treated as a wholesome effort at restoring confidence in the Federal Bureau of Investigation and American law enforcement in general. If they could do this to a three star general and National Security Adviser to the president, imagine what they have gotten away with in the past with other lesser mortals. It is sad and it diminished America's standing in the eyes of the world; this needs to be restored.
