Dem Sen Manchin: Comey Leaking Documents ‘Self-Preservation,’ ‘Concerning’

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) said former FBI director James Comey leaking memos to The New York Times was “concerning,” adding that it looked like “self-preservation.”

Manchin  said, “Well, that’s concerning. That was concerning when we heard that. You know, but I looked at it as self-preservation. We’re in an unprecedented era, if you will, kind of unorthodox approaches to governing and with that it looks like that he took whatever action he thought for self-preservation and we’ll see if that rises to a level of greater concern or of any type of action that needs to be taken.”
