Jeanine Pirro Accuses Comey of ‘Attempted Coup’ in Off The Rails Monologue: ‘You Got Some Set!’

Judge Jeanine Pirro blasted former FBI Director James Comey in what may be her most brutal monologue about him to date.

“He’s a liar, he’s a leaker, and he’s a leftist liberal,” Pirro began. “If anyone was not convinced that former FBI Director Jim Comey’s involvement in an attempted coo from within our own government of the duly elected winner of the 2016 presidential election, I have just one question for you: are you stupid?!?”

The Fox News host claimed that Comey’s book tour was “supposed to convince us that he was an honorable, likable decent man” and that he was “doing his darndest to protect the American people and the Constitution,” but “unfortunately for Jim,” it didn’t turn out that way.

Pirro then mentioned how Comey’s leaked memos were being investigated by the DOJ, but added that she didn’t have “any faith in Sessions and company that they’ll ever do anything of consequence.” She then mocked him for insisting that he himself is “not a leaker” by claiming his leaking “was a crime.”

“You know Jim, you got some set,” Pirro said — aiming her words for the former FBI Director. “You say it’s not a leak and that we should all believe it because you said it. And you’re so brazen, you think you can change the rules as we go along and we’ll just follow like fools… And Jim, you leaked the memo because you were an anti-Trumper who wanted to begin an intelligence investigation and you wanted to embarrass the president by making it public. And you didn’t get the required permission from the FBI or the DOJ to do it.”

She went on to say that her “favorite part” was when Comey “woke up in the middle of the night” and realized his memo would be “sufficient to get a special counsel assigned” and that it “really was a personal diary” and mocked his admiration for former DNI James Clapper, who she also called a “liar and a leaker.”

“Jim, you’re part of an anti-Trump conspiracy, violating the fundamental rules of your own agency,” Pirro scorned Comey. “And don’t think that because you were a big shot at the FBI that you can dispel the rules to suit your own and your family’s own political agenda. Power, Jim. Don’t ever forget it. Power is rented. And you, my friend, have been evicted.”
