In yet another round of what remains of the Obama-era Deep State pitching a hissy fit about President Donald J Trump in public, former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey, who was allegedly involved in what Tulsi Gabbard and others have insisted was a plot against the president, had a total meltdown on live TV about President Trump.
Comey, for reference, is being prosecuted by the Trump Department of Justice, currently led by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, over his threats of bodily harm against the president, along with other matters related to those threats and other words and deeds of the former FBI Director.
Such came during an appearance on MS NOW’s “Deadline” program on Monday, May 11, during which the former FBI Director spoke with MS NOW (formerly MSNBC) host Nicolle Wallace about Trump’s use of X, which they insisted on calling Twitter, and how the president has a tendency to go after those who have done him wrong.
Comey, of course, insisted on framing it as the president horribly and unconscionably attacking those who have merely been critical of him, ignoring all the wrongs the Deep State has done to the president and claiming that Trump has a “bottomless desire to gain revenge against those who’ve criticized him.”
Such came when show host Nicolle Wallace insisted, on the topic of Comey and Trump trying to take him down, “I went back and looked and Donald Trump first use Twitter to call for your prosecution in 2017 or 18 and some combination of Don McGahn, then the White House counsel, Jeff Sessions, and the US attorney, Bill Barr, who came next.”
Continuing, she claimed that Trump’s desire to go after James Comey was hollowing out the DOJ, saying, “There was one guy in between, and then Pam Bondi, I guess, who allowed this to go forward, but only at great cost of that office, which was essentially hollowed out. The variable isn’t Donald Trump’s desire to see you prosecuted, it’s Todd Blanch and so I wonder if you think there’s anything personal there?”
Comey then insisted that Trump is only interested in sychophants who will do anything he wants, claiming, “I don’t think so. I think it’s just Donald Trump continuing to move through people until he finds those who will literally do whatever he says. Maybe he’s found that with Mr. Blanche, maybe not.”

Continuing, Comey couldn’t help but insult Pam Bondi even as he claimed that she had helped him, rudely saying, “Maybe his standards will be too high, as apparently Pam Bondi’s were, which is a bit of a shock. And so she’s apparently headed for some important private sector job we haven’t heard about yet. That may be Mr. Blanche’s future.”
That’s when he got to his line about Trump’s thirst for revenge, telling Wallace, “Or maybe not, I don’t know, but Donald Trump has a bottomless desire to gain revenge against those who’ve criticized him nd I’m not going to stop criticizing him because I think that’s required if you care about America.”” Watch him here:
