Pelosi: Comey ‘Clearly Has a Double Standard,’ ‘Maybe He’s Not In the Right Job’

During an interview with CNN Special Correspondent Jamie Gangel, portions of which were broadcast on Wednesday’s “Situation Room,” House Minority Leader Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) stated FBI Director James Comey “clearly has a double standard when it comes to Donald Trump,” and “Maybe he’s not in the right job.”

Pelosi said she thinks Comey “made a mistake on this, and he clearly has a double standard when it comes to Donald Trump, and oh are they — keep him out of it. Just, when it came to the hacking by the Russians, that the highest confidence of our intelligence community says the Russians did this. I know it privately, because of being hacked by the Russians, and he says, well, it’s too close to the election to talk about that, and yet it’s not too close to the election to talk about the emails that he says may not be significant. So, I think he made a mistake, and these jobs, if you’re not in it for a while, you can’t take the heat, and I think he just couldn’t take the heat from the Republicans. It’s really unfortunate, because i do believe he is a good person. Maybe he’s not in the right job.”
