James Comey To ‘Fresh Air’: The FBI Isn’t 'On Anybody’s Side’
The former FBI director tells Terry Gross that he wants to sound the alarm about the “forest fire” of the Trump presidency – and also to defend the FBI against charges of partisanship. "People love the FBI when they think it’s on their side,“ Comey says.
