Fox News host Sean Hannity channeled his inner mobster, making former FBI Director James Comey an offer he can’t refuse – an hour-long interview on his show to promote his new book.
Thus far, he keeps refusing.
In an interview to promote his multi-million dollar book deal for “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership,” Comey compared President Trump to a “mob boss.”
A clip promoting that interview with Clinton loyalist George Stephanopoulos shows the latter asking, “How strange is it for you to sit here and compare the president to a mob boss?”

Hannity responded by challenging Comey to do an interview with somebody who’s actually willing to ask him “tough, but fair questions.”
“Since James Comey is so loose with his mafia analogies, let me make him an offer he shouldn’t be able to refuse,” Hannity challenged. “Come on my show to promote your book. I’ll ask tough, but fair questions to which the American people deserve answers.”
Hannity added: “Comey wouldn’t know a real mob boss if he investigated one for an illegal server,” taking an epic swipe at Hillary Clinton.

Hannity accused Comey of “getting ready to cash in on his very public hatred for president Donald Trump,” an undeniable assertion considering the former FBI director waited one year to tell his side of the story, and only did so through a book deal.
He then suggested that had Comey simply opened his eyes, he would have easily identified the true crime syndicate known as the Clintons.
“If Comey is really looking for mobsters at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., he missed one – the Clinton crime family,” he said.
The evidence is plentiful Hannity pointed out:
Bill Clinton was accused of severe sexual misconduct, harassment and even rape by Juanita Broaddrick. We know he lied under oath and we know he paid Paula Jones. We know he was impeached. Hillary Clinton surely committed crimes, and would have been charged if we had equal justice under the law. She mishandled national secrets on that illicit private server, obstructed justice and destroyed evidence.
He then ran down a litany of ‘associates’ that helped the Clintons cover up their crimes.
With respect to his challenge, Comey has made no comment responding to Hannity.
“With apologies to Don Corleone, come on my show, Jim,” Hannity demanded. “Act like a man!”
Do you think Comey would ever do an interview with Sean Hannity? Should he? Share your thoughts below!
