Comey: ‘Biden is the One’ for 2024 Race

Former FBI Director James Comey has publicly endorsed President Joe Biden for the 2024 presidential race. In an interview with Jen Psaki on her MSBNC show, Comey stated that he believes the president must be someone who abides by the law and the Constitution, and there is no one else but Joe Biden who fits that description.

“It has to be somebody committed to the rule of law, committed to the values of this country,” Comey added. “And I’m not talking about policy. People can disagree about policy. There are things above those disagreements that all of us should think about the same way.”

While two Democrats and seven Republicans have announced their bids for the presidency, Comey firmly believes that Joe Biden is the only candidate who can uphold the values of the country and the Constitution.

Trump’s Reelection and Comey’s Concerns

Comey also expressed his concerns about what would happen if former President Donald Trump were to be reelected. He believes that he would be targeted by the former president in what would be “four years of a retribution presidency.”

“He could order the investigation and prosecution of individuals who he sees as enemies. I’m sure I’m on the enemy list,” Comey said. “Because the president constitutionally does oversee the executive branch entirely, which includes the Department of Justice, prosecutors, and investigators, and so he could commission, direct that individuals be pursued.”

Comey continued to explain that the Constitution gives a rogue president tremendous power to destroy, and Trump could direct all kinds of conduct that people would take to court to try to stop. However, who enforces court orders? Mostly the United States Marshals Service, which is part of the executive branch and reports to the president.

The Durham Report

Comey was one of the former top FBI officials who refused to speak to Special Counsel John Durham. According to the Durham report, Comey “declined to be interviewed.” Durham wrote that the FBI relied on “raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated intelligence” for its 2016–17 FBI investigation of alleged ties between Trump and Russia.

“The objective facts show that the FBI’s handling of important aspects of the Crossfire Hurricane matter were seriously deficient,” Durham added.

Following the report’s release, the FBI acknowledged mistakes in its investigation of the Trump campaign, while Trump said that “the American Public was scammed” in a statement.
