WATCH: Sen. Mike Lee SCORCHES James Comey for still speculating about Trump and Putin in epic video

An impassioned Senator Mike Lee just scorched James Comey in this morning’s judiciary hearing for still suggesting that Trump has inappropriate ties to Putin when he doesn’t seem to know anything about the Russia collusion investigation he ran:

Here’s what Lee said:

Now Mr. Comey, with all due respect, you don’t seem to know ANYTHING about an investigation that you ran! So how can you now, as a private citizen and a former FBI director, show up and then speculate freely regarding any alleged ties between President Putin and President Trump? …I think I heard you say that you still speculate they may have something on President Trump because of how President Trump refers or doesn’t refer to President Putin in public.

This of course takes into account NOTHING about the fact that sources you’ve relied on in the past have turned out not to be accurate; you didn’t identify the inaccuracies subsequently to the FISA court. It acknowledges nothing about the fact that there are perfectly reasonable explanations as to why one leader would refer to a foreign leader in a certain tone. Or the fact that this is the same tone he uses when referring to other world leaders, particularly those world leaders in parts of the country where we’ve had some issues.

So honestly, how can you as a private citizen now come to us, and in your capacity as former FBI director, and speculate so freely regarding these alleged ties when you don’t seem to know ANYTHING about this investigation that you ran?

If you don’t watch the video you might not get just how upset Lee is with Comey. In fact to me, Lee seemed down right livid at times as he described his frustration with Comey and his uninformed speculation about Putin having something on Trump, using such a shallow basis as how Trump refers to Putin in public.

Lee was in rare form and really blasted Comey. While it doesn’t get Comey any closer to being held accountable for his misdeeds, I won’t lie and say I didn’t enjoy this clip immensely. Well done Senator Lee.
