The controversy follows Comey&#8217;s recent indictment by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/missouri-man-charged-with-threatening-to-murder-2-us-congressmen\/\" title=\"Missouri Man Charged With Threatening to Murder 2 US Congressmen\">federal grand jury<\/a> for allegedly lying to Congress in 2020 about leaking information to the media, violating FBI policies shortly after President Trump took office. the Democratic caller praised Comey&#8217;s record, while Brawner cited a 2019 Associated press report based on an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/congress-wades-into-fbi-headquarters-conflict-calls-for-inspector-general-inquiry\/\" title=\"Congress wades into ... headquarters conflict, calls for inspector general inquiry\">inspector general inquiry<\/a>, which found Comey violated FBI rules by improperly sharing memos documenting private conversations with President Trump and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-so-called-cooperation-with-the-fbi-both-meaningless-and-misleading\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s So-called \u201cCooperation\u201d With The ...

The caller responded that some of comey&#8217;s mistakes were &#8220;the cost of doing business&#8221; and compared this to former President Trump&#8217;s handling of classified documents, mentioning Trump&#8217;s indictment and case dismissal regarding Mar-a-Lago documents.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>C-SPAN &ldquo;Washington Journal&rdquo; host Greta Brawner countered a liberal caller&rsquo;s claim on Friday that James Comey served honorably as FBI director.<\/p>\n<p>A federal grand jury <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/breaking-james-comey-indicted-becomes-first-ex-fbi-director-history-indicted\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">indicted Comey<\/a> on Thursday for allegedly lying in testimony to Congress in 2020 about his role in leaking information to the media in violation of FBI policy, just months after President Donald Trump took office for his first term.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">BREAKING: Full text of former FBI Director James Comey&rsquo;s indictment has been released:<\/p>\n<p>COUNT 1: &ldquo;On or about September 30, 2020, JAMES B.
