In a quite shocking rebuttal to the utter hypocrisy of Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal that was just exposed – explaining how terrible Trump’s decision was, how great Comey was, after writing an op-ed in February slamming Comey…
Here is Blumenthal in November:
While stepping back from demanding Comey’s resignation, as some Democrats have done, Blumenthal said Comey has a lot of explaining to do about his ‘cryptic’ comments.
‘As a former federal prosecutor and state attorney general, I believe there is serious reason for concern regarding Director Comey’s cryptic comments and hope that more facts will be disclosed as quickly as possible,’ Blumenthal said in a statement. ‘Such actions are highly unusual and urgently require explanation.’
And here is Blumenthal today:
‘The need for a special prosecutor is now crystal clear. President Trump has catastrophically compromised the FBI’s ongoing investigation of his own White House’s ties to Russia. Not since Watergate have our legal systems been so threatened, and our faith in the independence and integrity of those systems so shaken. The only way to restore faith in a non-political, non-partisan FBI is to appoint an independent special prosecutor,’ Blumenthal said.
