Sean Hannity Erupts in Twitter Tirade, Grills James Comey After Cryptic Warning to Trump
Fox News’ Sean Hannity erupted in a fiery interrogation of James Comey on Twitter Saturday after the former FBI director issued a strong warning to President Donald Trump.
It all started Saturday morning when Trump brought up Comey’s name in a tweet about the news media and the firing of FBI official Andrew McCabe Friday night.
“The Fake News is beside themselves that McCabe was caught, called out and fired. How many hundreds of thousands of dollars was given to wife’s campaign by Crooked H friend, Terry M, who was also under investigation? How many lies? How many leaks? Comey knew it all, and much more!” Trump wrote.

Within minutes, Comey, who has tweeted minimally since his ousting last May, responded with an uncharacteristic and cryptic jab: “Mr. President, the American people will hear my story very soon. And they can judge for themselves who is honorable and who is not.”

The former FBI chief’s memoir, “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership,” will be out on April 18, and its content is shrouded in secrecy: Politico said it “is getting the Harry Potter treatment.” Concerned about leaks of its “potentially explosive revelations,” the publisher, Flatiron Books, “has implemented a password-protected electronic system so that only those involved in the project have access to it,” and workers at the shipping factories are asked to sign nondisclosure agreements, sources told Politico.

Comey’s tweet prompted Hannity to pepper him with a question after question.
“Mr Comey what did you know about McCabe’s leaks/Conduct? Why was the unverified and salacious dossier (January 2017) used as ‘the bulk’ of the FISC application (October 2016)?” Hannity wrote in one of eight tweets that asked 25 questions, 11 of which were about Hillary Clinton.
He ended his interrogation with an invitation for Comey to appear on his show.
Mr Comey what did you know about McCabe’s leaks/Conduct? Why was the unverified and salacious dossier (January 2017) used as “the bulk” of the FISC application (October 2016)? Why didn’t the FBI verify and corroborate the Dossier? Did you know the Dossier used “Russian” sources? https://t.co/SYKWDC7RUU

Mr Comey, did you know HRC paid for the Lies in the “Russian” dossier?Did you or anyone at the FBI pay Christopher Steele? Did you ask Steele about the “Russian” sources he used in the dossier? Did the FBI make any attempt to interview the “Russian sources”? https://t.co/SYKWDC7RUU

Did you ask Fusion GPS owners if they corroborated the “Russian” dossier? Why did HRC’s campaign and the DNC funnel Fusion GPS’s payment (Steele Payments) through a law firm? What did you know about efforts to pass on the unverified salacious dossier to American media companies? https://t.co/SYKWDC7RUU

Mr Comey, Why were you writing HRC’s exoneration in May 2016, long before she was interviewed in July 2016? 18 USC 793. Is it illegal to mishandle Classified, top secret, special access programs and information? Was such information mishandled by HRC? https://t.co/SYKWDC7RUU
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) March 17, 2018
Did HRC mishandle such information by placing such information on the server of a mom and pop shop, stored in a bathroom closet? How many foreign intelligence agencies do you believe hacked HRC said server? What countries? Did Russia China, Iran, North Korea hack into HRC server? https://t.co/SYKWDC7RUU
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) March 17, 2018
Mr Comey is it a crime to delete e mails that have been subpoenaed? When HRC deleted 33,000 subpoenaed emails was that obstruction of justice? What about when HRC acid washed her hard drive with “bleach bit”. What about destroying blackberries and other devices with a hammer? https://t.co/SYKWDC7RUU

Mr Comey is it illegal to destroy top secret, classified, special access programs information? Did HRC destroy such information? Are you aware Christian Saucier was sentenced to 1 year in prison for 6 photos (classified) that were on his cell phone from a US Submarine? https://t.co/SYKWDC7RUU
