Former South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy criticized former FBI Director James Comey for how he ran the bureau.

Appearing on Fox News’s The Story with Martha MacCallum on Tuesday, Gowdy, now a Fox News contributor, was played a clip from Comey’s Sunday interview with Chris Wallace.

Comey addressed whether Attorney General William Barr had any credence in speculating that there were bad-faith actions during the investigation.

“[Barr] does not have a factual basis as the attorney general of the United States to be speculating that agents acted in bad faith. The facts just aren’t there. Full stop. That doesn’t make it any less consequential, any less important, but that’s an irresponsible statement,” Comey said.

Gowdy responded to the clip by proclaiming that Comey has “lost his mind.”

“How many of these ‘close calls’ went in favor of President Trump?” Gowdy asked. “When they changed the email, was it to help Trump or hurt him? When they put the dossier material in, was it to help Trump or hurt him? When they put the DNC-funded Fusion GPS research material, was that to help Trump or to hurt him?

“Everything that happened was done to hurt Donald Trump. Look, this is the same Jim Comey who thought it was nonsense that we were looking into it, now he’s had a mea culpa,” Gowdy added.





During the interview with Wallace, Comey conceded his department showcased “real sloppiness” as officials applied for warrants to keep a counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign going.
