Lindsey Graham: People Running Away From ‘Radioactive’ Jim Comey ‘Like He’s Got The Plague’

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham told Fox News on Wednesday that people were abandoning former FBI Director James Comey as the walls close in on the origins of the FBI’s investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign.

The segment came former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates testified earlier in the day that former FBI Director James Comey went rogue during the investigation and that she was upset by his actions.“Here’s what I can prove, that Jim Comey has become radioactive,” Graham told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “People are running away from him like he’s got the plague.”

“Rosenstein said, ‘No, I wouldn’t sign the warrant if I knew then what I knew now,’” Graham continued. “Sally Yates threw him under the bus, that he went rogue, that he set up General Flynn for, as you say, to manufacture a crime. So, what’s the takeaway here? That Comey set on top of one of the most corrupt investigations, Crossfire Hurricane, in the history of the FBI, and the rats are jumping ship. Bad day for Jim Comey.”

Graham later said that he plans to call Comey to testify in front of his committee in September.
