FBI Insiders Furious About James Comey's "Self-Serving," "Gauche" Cash-In

Jana Winters reporting.

James Comey’s first interview since President Trump fired him as director of the FBI has enraged his former agents, who deluged The Daily Beast with their disdain as they watched him tell his side of the story to George Stephanopoulos on Sunday night.

Seven current or former FBI agents and officials spoke throughout and immediately after the broadcast. There was a lot of anger, frustration, and even more emojis--featuring the thumbs-down, frowny face, middle finger, and a whole lot of green vomit faces.

...

"Hoover is spinning in his grave," said a former FBI official. "Making money from total failure."

When a promo aired between segments announcing Comey's upcoming interview with The View, the official grew angrier.

"Good lord, what a self-serving self-centered jackass," the official said. "True to form he thinks he’s the smartest guy around."

...

One longtime Team Comey source--who is still an FBI agent--sent thumbs-up emojis repeatedly during the first half hour, but even this loyalist began to lose patience by the halfway mark--sending a frowny face. A few minutes later there was a nauseous emoji, and then a poop emoji after the final segment.

The fact that FBI agents are sending poop emojis to reporters tells you a lot about where the Current Year FBI is.

One source pointed out that, given that James Comey had a national security-involved job, the intelligence community was supposed to review his book prior to publication. That source guesses that Comey ignored this standard requirement.

Oh, and this doesn't boost confidence in the FBI, either:

Oooh!!! He's wearing a blue shirt! And I thought blue shirts were only a myth!!!

Update: Some selected chapter titles from James Comey's girlish, bitchy old hen memoir:

Chapter 5: My Shoe Closet and the Principles of Its Organization

Chapter 8: FroYo Fridays!!!!

Chapter 11: Boys Are Stupid!

Chapter 12: CrankyVag and How to Fix It: Six Tips Guaranteed to Turn Your Poonani From "Meh" to "Yeh!"
