Country musician Charlie Daniels is criticizing former FBI Director James Comey and a number of other federal and state officials who he believes infringed upon the people’s constitutional rights during the coronavirus pandemic.
In an editorial published by CNSnews on Friday, Daniels skewered Comey, saying the ousted FBI chief was “a dangerous loose cannon” who exonerated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton even though she conducted State Department business on a private internet server.
“James Comey is a national disgrace and a dangerous loose cannon, who, as the Bible says, gags on a gnat and swallows a camel,” Daniels wrote. “Hillary Clinton used an unsecured Internet server to conduct the business of the United States State Department, destroyed thousands of subpoenaed documents, and Comey, in spite of mountains of evidence of criminal wrongdoing, exonerated her. And Comey, along with other FBI officials, signed FISA warrant applications issued on information they knew to be false.”
Daniels then turned his ire to the handling of the Department of Justice’s dropped case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn after a trove of unsealed documents released over the past week revealed a pattern of bias against Flynn by some members of the U.S. intelligence community. Daniels admonished the decision by Judge Emmet Sullivan to seek an outside parties counsel on whether court proceedings against Flynn should continue despite the DOJ’s decision to halt its prosecution against Flynn.
“One only has to look at the actions of Judge Emmet Sullivan in his handling of Gen. Michael Flynn’s case to see the American judicial system at its worst. Judge Sullivan has evidently decided that he will be prosecuting attorney, judge, jury and arbiter of jurisprudence, in essence reopening a case where the charges have been dropped by the prosecution, charges that were obviously bogus to begin with.”
Daniels, who is best known as the founder of the Charlie Daniels Band, was apoplectic about a late-night raid on the house of former Trump adviser Roger Stone, which was simulcast live by CNN, who were tipped off to the looming arrest.
“Why did it take a SWAT team the size of a small army to arrest Roger Stone in the middle of the night?” asked Daniels. “Was such a show of force with armored vehicles and frogmen for the benefit of the CNN crew that just happened to be in the neighborhood in the wee hours of the morning.”
“Agenda-driven media, activist judges, and crooked law enforcement are the things that make up nightmares and dictatorships,” Daniels added. “Think about it, America? What do you think? Pray for our troops our police and the peace of Jerusalem. God Bless America.”
