EXCERPT:

DICKERSON: "The attorney general says he believed spying occurred in looking after the president’s then campaign. What you do think about of that?"
COMEY: “Yeah. I have no idea what he’s talking about. The FBI doesn’t spy, the FBI investigates. We investigated a very serious allegation that Americans might be hooked up with the Russian effort to attack our democracy. The Republicans need to breathe into a paper bag. If -- if we had confronted the same facts with a different candidate, say a Democrat candidate, where one of their advisers was talking to a foreign adversary’s representative about that adversary's interference in our election they would be screaming for the FBI to investigate, and that’s all we did.”
