James Comey says Barr summary of Mueller report was 'misleading,' 'inadequate'

Former FBI Director James Comey's firing by President Trump led to Robert Mueller's appointment as special counsel. Comey joins "CBS This Morning" for his first TV interview since the Mueller report was released to the public. He says the Mueller report laid out evidence for a future prosecutor and for Congress. His memoir, "A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership," is now out in paperback.

Once "Russia, if you're listening" came out of DJT'S mouth, the FBI would have been foolish not to investigate. Why are we discussing this?

[Timzart]

And now Trump is rid of Mattis or anyone else who will disagree with him, and so his circle just goes along with the insane clown's incessant lies. This isn't reassuring.

The way the LAW says it is supposed to work: Mueller submits his report to the AG. He either recommends or does not recommend indictments. AG then decides to indict or not indict, regardless of the "recommendations". AG may then choose to release all, part or NONE of the report. The AG, NOT the director of the FBI or the Special Counsel (Mueller) has a press conference and says I will indict on the following charges or I will NOT indict. If he chooses NOT to indict, he will NOT spell out what he is NOT charging someone with as did Comey in the Hillary matter. Barr has released 99.9 % of the Mueller report which is 99.9 % more than he is required to do by law.

Read the Mueller report..it's quite telling

Feeling frustrated isn't a defense for obstruction of justice.

[carolesmith]

These are the points of possible obstruction pointed to by MUELLER REPORT :
- Pressuring Comey to end Flynn probe.
-Trumps response to Russia inquiry.
-Firing of Comey and aftermath.
-Efforts to remove Special Counsel.
-Efforts to curtail Russia Investigation.
-Efforts to stop public disclosure of evidence.
-Attempts to push Sessions to take over inquiry.
-Ordering WH counsel to deny Trump tried to fire Mueller
-Trumps actions toward Flynn, Manafort & other witnesses.
-Trumps actions toward Michael Cohen.

Geez, is this country divided...we’re not seeing things through different lenses, we’re wearing blinders that won’t allow us to see or consider a different view. To all who believe Trump is innocent, could you be wrong? To those who feel he’s an Oval Office criminal, what if you’re wrong? The anger and hatred in the division will only hasten the eventual crumbling of the foundation of this democracy.

[TonimaroniBeKindToAnimals]

I’m definitely going to read the mueller report now!

[brian-w]

I find it extremely odd that Comey's first move after being dishonorably fired was to write a book! This man is a waste! Shame on him! Federal prison?

[sunyellow]

I have his book and started it but haven't finished it yet. It is very good though. Looking forward to finishing it. Also look forward to the unredacted Mueller report, eventually. I think Comey is a good and trustworthy guy, and never should have been fired.

[romerosinteriors]

This dude needs to be headed to prison

[jeanjones]

Obama Spied On Trump' In March Of 2017 And A Firestorm Irrupted...Clapper has already said on a tv interview that Obama ok'd the spying, and approved it... he said go ahead. Stinks all the way to Kenya. Everyone knows bath house Barry was directing the whole thing !!! The truth will come out!

[CaseyBoisFilms]

This is the guy who let Hillary walk....where the rest of us common folk would be doing some serious federal time. What a guy!

[jannasunlight]

First, why does Gayle keep calling James Comey, John? Second, Comey is once again defending his actions which have raised several questions, and getting a plug in for his book. We all have heard Comey"s narrative that he is a saint and Trump is not. Move on.

[immobilien]

HILLARY CLINTON WAS TALKING WITH THE RUSSIANS THROUGH CHRISTOPHER STEELE....IT WAS A DAMN

[mrbillsrecords]

Impeach Donald Trump now. Put it on tv so he can watch the truth come out.

[armandhammer]

To be clear James, this is not to say if anyone else did this they wouldn't suffer consequences .
