Trump cheers FBI probe of former foes Comey and Brennan over Russiagate investigation
By Steven Nelson
WASHINGTON — President Trump expressed approval of new Justice Department investigations into James Comey and John Brennan — calling the men “crooked as hell.”
Trump was asked about the just-launched probes by Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy, who inquired if the president wanted the pair “behind bars.”
“Well, I know nothing about it, other than what I read today, but I will tell you, I think they’re very dishonest people. I think they’re crooked as hell, and maybe they have to pay a price for that,” Trump said.

The subject of the Comey probe is unclear, though he was interviewed in May by the Secret Service after posting an image interpreted as a threat against Trump.
Trump fired Comey as FBI director in May 2017, after his frustration with the investigation into claims his 2016 campaign colluded with the Kremlin — though the termination was ostensibly for airing derogatory information about Hillary Clinton ahead of the election.
