He added that US citizens need to “fight” for American values, and that “impeachment, in a way, would short-circuit that.”
The special counsel Robert Mueller is currently investigating the Trump campaign — and Trump himself — as part of the Russia probe. In addition to looking into whether the campaign colluded with Moscow during the 2016 election, Mueller is also examining whether Trump sought to obstruct justice when he fired Comey last year.
The White House initially said Comey was fired because of his handling of the Clinton email investigation. But Trump later told NBC’s Lester Holt that “this Russia thing” had been a factor in his decision. Ahead of Comey’s book release, Trump, his allies, and the Republican National Committee have launched an aggressive campaign to discredit the former FBI director.
“Unbelievably, James Comey states that Polls, where Crooked Hillary was leading, were a factor in the handling (stupidly) of the Clinton Email probe,” Trump tweeted Sunday morning, hours before Comey’s interview was set to air. “In other words, he was making decisions based on the fact that he thought she was going to win, and he wanted a job. Slimeball!”
He later added: “Slippery James Comey, a man who always ends up badly and out of whack (he is not smart!), will go down as the WORST FBI Director in history, by far!”
Comey, however, described in his memoir that his concern lay not with keeping his job, but making Clinton appear to be an “illegitimate president” by not disclosing the fact that the FBI had restarted its investigation into her use of a private email server.
“The big question in Comey’s badly reviewed book aren’t answered like, how come he gave up Classified Information (jail), why did he lie to Congress (jail), why did the DNC refuse to give Server to the FBI (why didn’t they TAKE it), why the phony memos, McCabe’s $700,000 & more?”
When Stephanopoulos asked Comey what the remedy should be if Mueller finds evidence of obstruction of justice, Comey again declined to give a direct answer.
