Comey furthermore expressed his opinion that the Justice Department will review whether or not President Trump should face an indictment for obstruction of justice. However, Comey also stated that evidence of obstruction “sure looks like it’s there.”
What Did President Trump Have to Say?
It did not take long for the president to respond to James Comey. Trump took to Twitter, slamming Comey’s service as the FBI director and moreover stated that he will go down as the worst director in U.S. history.
See for yourself:
James Comey is a disgrace to the FBI & will go down as the worst Director in its long and once proud history. He brought the FBI down, almost all Republicans & Democrats thought he should be FIRED, but the FBI will regain greatness because of the great men & women who work there!

Comey’s remarks and President Trump’s subsequent response come a little after the two years ago in which Trump fired Comey. Trump noted Comey’s poor management of the FBI as the reason for his termination.

Since the conclusion of the Mueller probe, many Democrats have claimed that President Trump likely obstructed justice throughout the duration of the probe. This is something which Mueller failed to confirm or deny; although that hasn’t stopped Democrats from attempting to impeach him from office.
