Journalist Confronts Comey at Book Signing – ‘You’re Going to Get Locked Up’

Comey book signing

Lock him up!

Perhaps that can be the new chant for former FBI Director James Comey, the man who let Hillary Clinton off the hook despite numerous egregious criminal actions.

Or maybe it should be ‘lock them up!’

Comey appeared at a book signing in New York, giving the public a chance to ask him questions for the first time.

His handlers asked customers to place their questions in a bowl, in an effort to screen the content.

Laura Loomer, a self-described investigative journalist, decided she was going to ask her own questions instead.

Loomer addressed the controversy surrounding the famed Trump dossier and why Comey didn’t feel it was necessary to inform the President that it had been funded by his political opponents.

In an interview with George Stephanopoulos, Comey was asked if Trump had the right to know such information.

“I don’t know the answer to that,” he admitted. “It wasn’t necessary for my goal, which was to alert him that we had this information.”

Loomer apparently hoped he had finally figured out the answer but to no avail.

“You are not an ethical leader,” she continued. “Today, Mr. Comey, 11 lawmakers filed a criminal referral against you.”

The crowd jeered the interruption, and security approached Loomer directing her to leave.

“You’re going to get prosecuted, Comey!” she shouted. “You’re gonna get locked up!”

CNN reported on Comey’s book signing, dismissing Loomer’s questions as ‘making a scene,’ an assertion she took offense to.

“Since when is asking questions everyone besides CNN wants to ask Comey called ‘making a scene?’ she asked on Twitter.

“Comey is a liar,” she added. “If he thinks we shouldn’t be yelling at each other he should have told the audience to stop booing me after I asked the only real question.”

Anti-Comey protesters weren’t simply relegated to the festivities indoors either, as a group had formed outside as well.

Those protesters held up signs supporting President Trump, while others held signs which read “lying Comey” and “jail Comey.”

This appearance at a bookstore in New York City is one of many Comey is embarking on for a promotional tour for his “b**chy” book.

Let’s hope the others are equally as eventful.
