James Comey thinks it would create a troubling precedent if Trump gets what he wants: a counter investigation into the Mueller probe
On Tuesday, Trump continued to advocate for an examination of how the FBI and Mueller investigations began.
“Whether it‘s [former FBI Deputy Cirector Andrew] McCabe or Comey or a lot of them, where does it go? How high up in the White House did it go?“ Trump continued, calling on reporters to investigate the origins of Mueller‘s probe, even dangling the prospect of a Pulitzer Prize to journalists in the room.
Comey condemned the president’s rhetoric of “calling for the locking up of his political opponents, including people like me.”
