Comey furious over Trump team's smear campaign — and he's prepared to respond: report
James Comey will respond at some point to President Donald Trump, according to sources familiar with the former FBI director — but he's staying quiet for now.
Associates said Comey is furious about the lack of respect he was shown during his abrupt firing Tuesday and has been angered by comments by Trump and White House staffers, reported ABC News.
The ABC News report referred to comments by Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the deputy White House press secretary, who accused Comey of committing "atrocities" against Hillary Clinton.One person close to the former FBI director told the network that Comey had shown considerable restraint when Trump questioned his competence and called him a "showboat."
If and when Comey responds, he could prove to be more dangerous to Trump outside the FBI than he was before.
Matthew Miller, a former spokesman for the Department of Justice, said Comey fastidiously keeps evidence of potential wrongdoing to protect himself and the agency.
