Byron York ZINGS James Comey with his own words on 'tightly regulated and essential' 'Confidential Human Sources'

In response to President Donald’s Trump’s tweetstorm this morning on the ongoing “WITCH HUNT,” former FBI Director James Comey accused those who attack the FBI and “lying about its work” as doing “lasting damage to” the United States:

Facts matter. The FBI’s use of Confidential Human Sources (the actual term) is tightly regulated and essential to protecting the country. Attacks on the FBI and lying about its work will do lasting damage to our country. How will Republicans explain this to their grandchildren?

And to that the Washington Examiner’s Byron York as the perfect response:

Would be good for congressional oversight committees to see the documents detailing the tight regulations and essential nature of the FBI relationship with Halper. https://t.co/qx9xGWyF1q

And here’s what Comey was responding to from President Trump:

Look how things have turned around on the Criminal Deep State. They go after Phony Collusion with Russia, a made up Scam, and end up getting caught in a major SPY scandal the likes of which this country may never have seen before! What goes around, comes around!
