"You know, I'm not a fan of James Comey because of what happened in 16. Okay? Steele began. That's then. But the reality of it is you don't want the system ever to be weaponized against anyone, regardless of what they may have done in the past or what you may have thought of their actions in the past. He warned that the spectacle spoke to something far more corrosive and called for vigilance:"
"What we need to stay focused on right now, folks, is what's happening to your neighbors, your families, your community, your country by a rogue president and a rogue administration of bad actors who don't give a damn about the Constitution. For Steele, the central question is not about Comey's past but about President Trump's present. It's happening because one man is so insecure and he's so juvenile in his thinking that this is the only way he can."
Michael Steele condemned President Trump's move to publicly humiliate James Comey as insecure, juvenile political vengeance that weaponizes the justice system. Steele warned that using the legal system as a political weapon undermines the rule of law and called for vigilance against a rogue president and administration that disregard the Constitution. Steele noted Comey remains a fixation for Trump because Comey refused to quash the Russia probe early in Trump's presidency. An FBI agent reportedly refused orders for a televised perp walk and was sidelined. The MSNBC panel characterized the pursuit as petty retribution at the expense of justice.
