James Comey: I'm 'Embarrassed and Ashamed' by the Republican Party
James Comey, the former director of the FBI fired by President Donald Trump, said the GOP makes him “embarrassed and ashamed” and accused Republicans of entering a “fool’s bargain” because they are trading their values for policy wins with the current administration.
Trump fired Comey from the FBI in May 2017, accusing him of mishandling the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails. But Comey says he was fired to disrupt the investigation he was leading into suspicions of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia to influence the election.
Since his firing, Comey and Trump have clashed publicly and the ex-FBI director has released a tell-all book about his relationship with the president, who he has accused of acting like a mafia boss and being “morally unfit” to lead the country.
“I've been embarrassed and ashamed by the way the Republican party has abandoned one of the two things that led me to consider myself a Republican in the 1980s when Ronald Reagan was president,” Comey said on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360° on Wednesday night.

He should also be embarrassed and ashamed for his pre-election actions to deliberately subvert Hillary's election chances.
