Comey: House Intel Committee’s Russia Report Is a ‘Political Document’

Former FBI Director James Comey sat down for an interview with Chuck Todd, who asked him for his response to the report put out by the House Intel Committee Republican majority.

Todd brought up how President Trump believes this proves no collusion beyond any doubt.

House Intelligence Committee rules that there was NO COLLUSION between the Trump Campaign and Russia. As I have been saying all along, it is all a big Hoax by the Democrats based on payments and lies. There should never have been a Special Counsel appointed. Witch Hunt!

“That is not my understanding of what the facts were before I left the FBI,” Comey said. “And I think the most important piece of work is the one the special counsel’s doing now. This strikes me as a political document.”

Todd asked if the House committee served any “good investigative purpose” here. Comey responded, “Not that I can see.”
