Trump claims Comey’s actions were “criminal”

President Trump, during a semi-surprise appearance on Fox & Friends Friday morning, said that the Justice Department's inspector general report, which ultimately concluded that then-FBI Director James Comey was not politically biased and that any political biases that did exist did not compromise the FBI's work, was wrong, and that what Comey did "was criminal."

“I think Comey was the ringleader of this… den of thieves”

Notable: He didn't specify what Comey did or what law he might have violated.

Sounding off on the DOJ's FBI report:

• "The end result was wrong. There was total bias. Look at Peter Strzok."
• "What they did during the election was a disgrance… You look at what happened, they were plotting against my election. I'm actually proud because I beat the Clinton Dynasty, I beat Bush Dynasty, Now, I guess, hopefully I'm in the process of beating very dishonest intelligence."
• Should Comey be locked up? “What [Comey] did was criminal. What he did was a terrible thing to the people. What he did was so bad in terms of our Constitution, in terms of the well-being of our country. What he did was horrible. Should he be locked up? Let somebody make the determination.”
