Comey: I Hope Durham Will Protect His Reputation ‘from Those in Leadership’ Like Barr

EXCERPT:

COMEY: “I can’t tell what is going on with the Attorney General and that investigation. I was deeply concerned by some things he said early on about using the word spying and saying there are things that just don’t make sense, and at the time I said, that is not the way it operates. If there is reason to probe something, then you shut up and share the facts. I still feel that way. I don’t know what they are looking at, so I’m not in a position to say you should not investigate. If you are going to investigate, investigate. John Durham has a strong reputation. Someone for years I thought was an excellent prosecutor. I cannot tell what is going on with the Attorney general. I would hope that Mr. Durham will do everything possible to protect his reputation from being damaged by those in leadership and the most important way to do that is give us transparency.”
