Former FBI Director James Comey hurt Hillary Clinton’s presidential candidacy, then tried to remove President Trump from office in an executive branch “coup,” according to Geraldo Rivera.
“What I want people to understand is that this sanctimonious person, this person who almost brought down Hillary Clinton — and I think really did a job on her candidacy and should be loathed by the Democrats as much as he is loathed by the Republicans — he and a small cabal of people at the FBI attempted a coup,” Rivera claimed Friday on “Fox & Friends.”
“I know that’s an incendiary word.”
Rivera, Fox News’ correspondent-at-large, added Comey’s intended goal appeared to be the invocation of the 25th Amendment.
“He attempted to cripple the president-elect and the president of the United States, and ultimately his goal was to replace the president via the 25th Amendment — this is the biggest stuff — when you talk about history books that’s what this was really all about,” he said.
“This was the swamp responding to an elected official who is obviously untraditional — and going after him in a way that they wanted to… get him out of office and be replaced by Vice President Pence or whomsoever.” – READ MORE
