‘This Is Bullsh*t’: Bannon Rages ‘Scumbag’ James Comey Wasn’t Perp Walked Into Courtroom
Former Trump White House advisor and MAGA podcaster Steve Bannon was furious on Wednesday that James Comey, the former FBI director, was not perp walked into court to face charges from Trump’s DOJ.
“I got breaking news. They slipped Comey in through another entrance, so he didn’t have to come through here. This is bullsh*t,” Bannon began, adding:
I don’t know who at DOJ and who at the FBI—or I hope the White House understands this—that instead of Navarro and I… And look, I proudly walked in there because I was proud of what I did, and I’m not gonna have the media… Mike Davis, you know this.
You’re one of the guys that backed me, one of my lawyers. I was proud. I’m not backing down to the media. But they try to sit there and psychologically break you, so they got that image of you walking to court the entire time. I don’t know how James Comey’s in court right now. He just pleaded not guilty. Is that correct, on social media?
Comey did indeed plead not guilty to the two charges against him, making a false statement to Congress and obstruction of a congressional proceeding. A wide variety of legal analysts have poured cold water on the charges, including Fox News’ Andrew McCarthy. McCarthy concluded in late September, “The indictment is inadequately pled and factually without foundation. It should be dismissed.”
“They allowed Comey to do something they didn’t allow anybody else to do. This is the problem. The problem is the system is rigged on this guy’s side. Okay? It’s got to stop. Is Comey gonna be shackled? Is Comey gonna be strip-searched? Why? Comey’s there for felonies,” Bannon continued, adding:
Navarro and Bannon—hey look, I never whined about this at all. It is what it is. And when I went to prison, the audience knows that. It is what it is. But I’ll be damned if we’re gonna sit here and allow Comey, who is a total scumbag… And you already see, this deck is already… They’ve already stacked this deck right now.
Why is Comey not coming in from outside like everybody has to? There’s no way of taking you below a thing, and I don’t wanna hear “security.” You don’t think there was higher security at taking out Steve Bannon or Peter Navarro, right, than James Comey?
Bannon and Trump trade aide Peter Navarro both served stints in prison for contempt of Congress related to Congress’s investigation into efforts to overturn the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
