James Comey was feeling the heat from both sides of the aisle on Sunday. Hours before ABC was set to air James Comey’s first interview since he was fired as FBI Director, and two days before the release of his tell-all book which has the establishment media all abuzz, President Trump on Sunday unleashed a blistering twitter attack on Comey, calling him a “slimeball,” and adding that it was his “honor” to fire him.
The President called Comey a “terrible” FBI Director and said Comey’s investigation into the “Crooked Hillary” emails was “one of the worst botch jobs of history.”
