Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., said Sunday former FBI director James Comey is “out for revenge” because he feels the American people should have a higher view of him than they currently do.

"Mr. Comey is out aggrandizing himself,” Goodlatte told Fox News on Sunday. “He's out for revenge, I would say, when he talks about a higher justice — he's really talking about a higher view of himself than the American people have."

Goodlatte believes Comey’s claim to want justice really means just justice for himself and a higher view of himself.

Comey participated in his first interview since being fired last year, which is set to air Sunday night, right ahead of the release of his book, A Higher Loyalty, which is being released Tuesday.
