Comey is a piece of shit.
The FBI has been overwhelmed investigating James Comey �copycats� in the
wake of his controversial �86 47� Instagram post, Director Kash Patel
revealed Wednesday.
�Do you know how many copycats we�ve had to investigate as a result of
that beachside venture from the former director?� Patel told Fox News
�Special Report� host Bret Baier, during an interview from the bureau�s
academy in Quantico, Virginia.
Patel indicated that the uptick in potential threats against President
Trump since Comey�s May 15 post has been so substantial that the FBI has
had to redirect significant resources � including agents focused on child
sex crimes and drug trafficking � to investigate them.
�Do you know how many agents I�ve had to take offline from chasing down
child sex predators, fentanyl traffickers, terrorists .. because
everywhere across this country people are popping up on social media and
think that a threat to the life of the president of the United States is a
joke � and they can do it because [Comey] did it?� the FBI chief said.
�That�s what I�m having to deal with every single day,� Patel fumed. �And that�s why I�m having to pull my agents and analysts off � because
[Comey] thought it was funny to go out there and make a political
statement.�
The FBI did not immediately respond to The Post�s request for details on
the surge in possible threats against Trump since the former FBI
director�s Instagram post.
In the since-deleted post, Comey shared an image of seashells arranged on
a beach to form the numbers �86 47,� which many Republicans, including
Trump, viewed as a call to assassinate the 47th president.
Comey, who was fired by Trump in May 2017 after serving as FBI director
since September 2013, was interviewed by Secret Service investigators the
day after the post.
The former director indicated during an interview with MSNBC last week
that he doesn�t expect criminal charges or any additional action from the
Trump administration over the shell post, which he viewed at the time �
and still does � as �totally innocent.�
