Victor Davis Hanson: How James Comey’s 245 ‘I Don’t Knows’ Are Finally Catching Up

Former FBI Director James Comey is under the microscope again, this time hiding behind a ridiculous "seashell" defense after allegedly posting a veiled threat against Donald Trump. While the legacy media rushes to dismiss the "86/47" beach message as a harmless coincidence, Comey’s long record of selective amnesia and partisan leaks tells a much darker story. From orchestrating the Russia collusion hoax to shielding Hillary Clinton's illegal homebrew servers, this latest stunt highlights the sheer arrogance of a thoroughly weaponized justice system. It is past time to hold the architects of the Deep State accountable for years of lying to Congress and betraying the American people, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

Victor Davis Hanson: James Comey Tried to Take Down Trump. Now, He’s Facing Justice.

Obama administration FBI Director James Comey has been indicted by the DOJ for his role in the Russiagate hoax and 2016 election interference. In the first of a two-part series, Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the moral implications of Comey’s tenure as FBI director—marked by some of the most controversial decisions in modern American political history—on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “James Comey, remember, also, he met with Donald Trump. And they had a confidential conversation. That's not in dispute. And James Comey assured the president of the United States that he was not the subject of an FBI investigation. That was false. Now, he may not have said that under oath, but he admitted he said that, and so did Donald Trump. “He lied to the president of the United States. And then what did he do? He took that conversation and ‘memorialized it.’ … He did not file them officially with the FBI. He put them in his private safe as safekeeping or insurance, so that he could embarrass the president of the United States, if he was ever threatened with firing.”
