This is a very dangerous game Comey is playing, all the while posing as the one who is defending us from terrorist violence. Trump never called for violent attacks against anyone, much less for storming the Capitol. Al-Qaeda, by contrast, has called for violent attacks innumerable times. To equate the two and say that they both “radicalize terrorists” is to claim to be able to discern the intent and/or effects of Trump’s words and claim that they were intended to incite violence and were successful in doing so despite the fact that he never called for or approved of any violence. If Comey and his comrades are successful, and the House already advanced this notion by impeaching Trump for a second time, they will have created a precedent. The precedent will be that it doesn’t matter so much what exactly you say, but what the authorities think it means, or thinks its effects will be. Authoritarians can use this arrogated power of discernment to shut down anyone they don’t like. That’s where we’re headed, and Comey is doing his best to make sure we get there.
James @Comey on last week’s siege on Capitol Hill: “They are people bent on coercing a civilian government, attacking our democracy because of their warped view of reality, and the reason their view is warped… is because of the president’s lies.” https://t.co/cVclFZQmjA pic.twitter.com/ZMqfj3TJ5s

“James Comey Says Trump’s Lies Created Terrorists: ‘This Is How Al-Qaida Radicalized’ (Video),” by
Former FBI director James Comey paid a visit to “The View” on Friday during which he explained his belief that President Trump’s “constant torrent of lies” has radicalized his supporters to the point of becoming domestic terrorists — and he compared Trump’s methods to those of al-Qaida.
“They are terrorists. They are people bent on coercing a civilian government — attacking our democracy — because of their warped view of reality,” Comey, who was fired by Trump in 2017, said of the Capitol rioters on “The View.”…
“This is how al-Qaida radicalized: a constant, constant torrent of lies at vulnerable people,” he said. “Well, we have millions of vulnerable people in this country who’ve consumed these lies, and some portion of them have been radicalized to the point where they believe they’re on the side of the angels and have to engage in violence directed against us. So it’s a serious threat, it’s a terrorist threat, and Donald Trump and his enablers — we want to make sure we keep the receipts, ’cause a lot of people are going to deny they had any connection to it come a few months from now — but that group of people has radicalized a group of terrorists.”
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Magical thinking. Pulling rabbits out of a hat.
Brenrod says
Comey is one of the worst seditious traitors tho our nation, the fact that he still walks free demonstrates the massive corruption of all our major institutions.
PATRICIA KAYE CAMPBELL says
Your comment hit the nail right on the head.
Grace says
since the Woke generation is now in command truth is no longer truth but
‘Truth as they see it..
Wellington says
What lies by Trump? Comey didn’t specify. Generalizations without examples are worthless. Fitting since Comey is worthless.

Projection by despicable James Comey accusing his enemy of the very thing of which he is guilty.
somehistory says
comey should be asked: How many people have you “radicalized” with your, so very, very many, lies?
Get into the way-back machine. comey has been lying since **before*** he lied and said there was nothing to see on h clinton’s computer…no laws broken, etc….He’s a practiced liar.
But this is a big part of the plan to make the average person in the U.S. a terrorist out to murder people. Anyone who likes Mr. Trump, anyone who voted for him…even those who just didn’t want pervert biden in office…anyone who owns a gun, anyone who questions the election results, anyone who has been in the military…recall the woman who worked with ‘o’ and said how “dangerous” are the ex-military…anyone who values freedom of religion, expression, and is tired of the lies helping moslims change the government to a moslim dictatorship….The list is long of those comey and his crowd want to imprison…or worse.
He and the others are wanting to ‘radicalize’ the undecided…those who have not been paying attention…in order to make them their puppets, willing to snitch, willing to turn in even family and friends, because they fear the 75 million plus are out to terrorize and murder them.
James Lincoln says
somehistory says,
I guess I’m going to be in *really* big trouble with Mr. Comey because:
I like Pres. Trump.
I voted for him.
I didn’t want pervert biden in office.
I own a gun.
I question the election results.
I have served in the military.
I value freedom of religion, expression.
I am tired of the lies helping moslims change the government to a moslim dictatorship…
somehistory says
Good for you. Having a target on your back for being a positive role model for the young…and young at heart.
Christ would be on their list too for His teaching of the Golden Rule and loving our Creator and for telling us the Truth, and standing up for the downtrodden and calling attention to the lies the ‘leaders’ told…so many things He did that comey and crew/crowd find objectionable and worthy of punishment.
We are in Good Company.

A Gnostic Agnostic says
Once again: the Left pathologically projects/scapegoats all of their own nature(s) onto the Right.
Comey is projecting the crimes of the Islamic Deep State onto Trump / the Right.
This is how Islam operates: they project & scapegoat their own crimes onto the other side.
Carol the 1st says
That projection must be paper-thin at this point. They refuse to “wear the shoe when it fits” and increasingly use skilled fancy footwork (judoka-style) to knock the wind out of charging opponents. Their irresponsible deceptiveness is becoming apparent to everyone (I think I felt a spiritual chill seep through a fair number of Inauguration attendees today – even when Biden spoke so passionately about bringing his SOUL to America).
What’s even *more* astonishing is now they are now not only warping the facts and the narrative but are attempting to incorporate the IDENTITY of their challenger. I’ve seen this in borderline types of personalities – their inner core lacks proper integration and they lack discrimination – so when someone successfully challenges them they evade but quietly begin incorporating what they sense is good and valid in that other person into their own PERSONA. Unfortunately it is only smoke and mirrors. I wonder what Mr. Glazov would have to say?

yeah, yeah, yeah…already in place: Biden’s humane approach to migration…we European know for whom only this is “humane”

Dogs are barking and caravan going further, good luck US. We Europeans know how it is of barbaric invasion wich Merkel was responsible for it , now the consequences coming out big time..
somehistory says
Mr. Trump has extended the order about keeping the border closed until February 2022.
b.a. freeman says
good luck with *that*, somehistory. president-“elect” harris and sock puppet biden have a pen and a phone, and will issue executive orders reversing mr. trump’s orders. mr. trump was blocked by the courts from reversing the DACA executive order, but because he is ORANGE MAN BAD, *all* of his executive orders are subject to reversal. neither courts, laws, nor traditions can stop them, because they are right. we of the stupid stinking masses need to just sit down, shut up, and wait to be rounded up for our .45 cal. re-education.
gravenimage says
Somehistory, I’m afraid I don’t see *that* happening. Biden is doubling down on importing more Muslims on day one.

it would be amusing to watch the fascist behavior of the NAZIcrats were it not that the future of my family, friends, neighbors, and fellow americans is being threatened by it. for the most part, the NAZIcrats seem to be *completely* unaware of the history of the rise of fascism in germany and italy, and especially of the history of woodrow wilson and *his* proto-fascist behavior before and during WWI. given the leftist indoctrination most of us have received in public schools and universities, received in place of an education in actual history, it is unsurprising, but because it is *not* amusing, it is tragic.

James Comey likens Trump to al-Qaeda, says he has ‘radicalized’ terrorists through ‘lies’
…………..
Grotesque calumny.
underbed cat says
What happened to national security…curious if the money from the” religion of terror” cartels must be too good to part with….. all those fine diplomatic expensive dinners, spiffs, privledges, power all the stuff President Trump didn’t need to do his job of protecting American citizens….now a former f** compares Trump to al qaeda…whoa that is a grotesque statement from the willfully blind and ignorant to the tactics, methods and motivations of a enemy that moved into our country, millions since 9/11 just walk across the un- protected border for years into our country with a guest pass. Now the troops are in Washington looking for al queda a little late. Oh that is right they are just radicalized off shoots, who misread the book that has those 164 directives that have nothing to do with jihad or conquest besides it is a a peaceful group, the best of all people right? You and Biden can emgage and look for fascists together as you reflect at each other.
Prabhakar Shetty says
Somebody castrates them mentally after they get elected.
underbed cat says
Warped reality, you just don’t know about such software, math and doctrine…..this is an unreal statement by a former intelligence director, as facism grows in left….what lies has Trump told, do they compare to yours? You didn’t see antifa or any radical group arrive before the Trumps supporters who just wanted to make a statement of support with american flags….not fires or bullets….. or damage to property….. who arranged for the radicalsl??? Who paid ? The democrats found a way to change standards to their advantage and with paid employees who didn’t like any questions, nor do I think it was a stretch that it was a deliberate attempt to keep voting inspectors at bay and ignore any complaints of procedures.
I guess the software for mail ballots worked, fibs to the press, states used mail in votes, paid for ballots, software loaded ballots, video of what appears to be fraud, misinformation campaigns, union money and a hostile 4 years of hate and attempts of removing a Republican with too much influence. If there was any collusion it was the targeted obessive investigations of Trump to my mind, a corrupt deep state addicted to power and protection and hiding failure. In my opinion I have never witnessed anything like this…..God help America and the citizens who will now be targeted in a show of unleased show of power over authority and revenge for the conservatives. Remember 9/11 conspiracy started with a fatwah , yours started wih a fisa warrant to spy on a candiate.
drew webb says
The “scary” bit for me was “Keep the receipts”. FEMA camps are looking more and more a reality?
tgusa says
A very small group of people entered the capital carrying flags and began taking selfies and then the establishment began uncontrollably urinating all over themselves. The establishment hid in place. It was scarier than the disturbance I once saw at Disneyland. They could never face an authentic determined adversary.
But no worries Jimmy al Qaeda would never attack you because you are essential to the chaos they want to bring to America. Besides, if al Qaeda ever decided to go after Jimmy it wouldn’t be that hard because he is just too tall to hide.
Get rid of Trump supporting Americans and bring in the transgender anarchists to do battle with al Qaeda and the like.
All my best, Jimmy Comey
OLD GUY says
Comey needs to be prosecuted for his part in the $40 million dollar fraud he and Hillary Clinton stuck the American tax payer for with the phony Russian dossier. It appears that a hole bunch of lawyers made a lot of money knowing the Muller investigation was a total hoax.
