Bret Stephens says Trump was ‘the victim of a gigantic slander abetted by the F.B.I.’
New York Times columnist Bret Stephens took aim at former FBI director James Comey over his agency’s handling of the infamous Steele dossier.
Amid the recent revelations from the ongoing Durham probe that continue to undercut the legitimacy of the document constructed by ex-British spy Christopher Steele, there has been intensified scrutiny towards the liberal media outlets who have claimed to have corroborated many of the explosive allegations found in the dossier that fueled the Trump-Russia collusion narrative.
But in a piece published Tuesday, Stephens called out Comey’s leadership that turned the FBI into the “Bureau of Dirty Tricks” due, in part, to the dossier.
“Donald Trump’s best move as president (about which I was dead wrong at the time) may have been to fire him,” Stephens conceded before detailing the misdeeds like the altering of the FISA warrants to spy on Carter Page and the new information about Steele’s “sub-source” and his ties to Democrats.
Comey needs to go and we need to dig farther into the FBI and cut out the bad wood.
