This week, former FBI Director
@Comey
's legal team took their best shot at getting his criminal indictment dismissed.

The evidence released
@FBIDirectorKash
includes FBI 'burn bags' containing sensitive records about the Trump probes. The evidence is credible and could prove hard to overcome if Comey's case goes to trial.

I spoke with six former FBI special agents. Between them, they have more than 9 decades of law enforcement experience.

They said the FBI Trump probes were not done “By The Book.”
