Congressman Biggs' Statement on James Comey's Book

Statement

Congressman Biggs released the following statement in response to former FBI Director James Comey's salacious claims about his interactions with President Donald Trump:

"Mr. Comey potentially committed a serious crime by leaking government documents - some that may have been classified - to a friend to send to the press. He did so intentionally to manipulate an ongoing investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 elections. By committing this action and compounding it with his profit-seeking book tour, Mr. Comey publicly justified many of the internal reasons why President Trump fired him. Mr. Comey has jeopardized the reputation and hard work of the patriotic agents who worked for him at the FBI.

"Mr. Comey may have mistrusted President Trump, but he was constitutionally obligated to serve the President that the American people elected. The FBI is not an independent branch of government, and President Trump was fully within his right to terminate his employment. Unfortunately, Mr. Comey's mutiny and potential criminal activity has been applauded by the left and the mainstream media. Justice should be served, and it must start with James Comey's actions."
