After accusing former FBI Director James Comey of perjury and running off to play golf to avoid further questions, Donald Trump just attacked him again on Twitter.
On Thursday, Comey testified that Trump demanded his loyalty and wanted him to drop the Russia investigation, revealing that Trump has been lying through his teeth to the American people.
Trump remained silent throughout the day per the request of Republicans. But Trump ended his silence on Friday by accusing Comey of lying and calling him a “leaker.”
Trump then cut and ran to his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey and hadn’t been heard from since.
That changed on Sunday morning when Trump took to Twitter again to viciously attack Comey, accusing him of breaking the law by leaking his own unclassified memos. He added insult to injury by calling Comey a coward.
I believe the James Comey leaks will be far more prevalent than anyone ever thought possible. Totally illegal? Very ‘cowardly!’

Unlike Trump, Comey was brave enough to publicly testify under oath in front of the Senate. Trump, meanwhile, has merely said that he would testify to counter Comey’s claims. We all know that Trump won’t actually testify because he would end up committing several counts of perjury. Also, if Trump wants to seriously talk about leaks, he should look in the mirror because he’s the one who leaked highly classified intelligence to Russian officials during a meeting in the Oval Office, a leak that put our national security at risk, and violated the trust of an ally. And let’s not forget that by telling Comey to kill an investigation and firing him for refusing, Trump committed obstruction of justice, which is illegal.
Twitter users were quick to put Trump in his place.
What’s totally illegal and very cowardly is abusing the power of the presidency to obstruct justice.

The MSM didn’t make you ask Comey to drop the Flynn investigation. Nobody forced your campaign/admin to buddy up to Russia.

Just like you believed Obama wasn’t an American? Just like you believed he wiretapped you? I’ve had turds more reliable & honest than you.

Want to talk about leaks? Let’s talk about you leaking HIGHLY classified ISIS intelligence to Russian officials IN THE OVAL OFFICE remember?

On one side we have an unclassified memo passed by a private citizen, the other is code-word level intel given to a foreign power. Hmm…

So are you going to testify?

James Comey was trying to investigate the Russian interference into our election. You fired him to stop him. Why are you helping Russia?
— Dave Hogg (@Stareagle) June 11, 2017
This is as incoherent as your leadership.
— Benjamin Ramm (@BenjaminRamm) June 11, 2017
In your own words, “WRONG!” It was totally LEGAL. Private citizen can share his notes. Especially after you fire him & lie about reasoning.

What is cowardly is sending everyone out of the room to ask for loyalty, obst justice,& saying you have Tapes as a threat

Trump is impugning James Comey’s character. And he’s doing it on Twitter. As you may recall, Trump has recently complained about the media reporting on his tweets. Well, if he didn’t say stupid shit like this on Twitter the media would not report on it because there would be nothing to report. In the end, Trump is his own worst enemy. Not Comey.
