Geraldo Rivera: Comey, Clapper, Brennan should be ‘quaking’ in their boots over Barr investigation

Fox News correspondent-at-large Geraldo Rivera said Friday that a handful of former intelligence chiefs should be “quaking” in their boots following remarks by Attorney General William Barr that he has not gotten “satisfactory” answers in his investigation into the origins of the Russia probe.

“What you just heard is a bombshell,” Rivera said on “Fox & Friends,” a morning program President Trump reportedly watches on a regular basis.

{mosads}He said the people who should be most concerned are former FBI Director James Comey, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan.

“If I were James Comey right now or James Clapper right now or John Brennan right now, I would be quaking in my boots. Why? Because the attorney general of the United States has set his target on you,” Rivera said.

“He wants to know why you started this counterintelligence investigation of the Trump candidacy,” Rivera added before reeling off a series of potential questions Barr may have for the former officials.

“How long did you sustain that investigation of the Trump candidacy, the Trump transition, the Trump administration? What tools were employed? What foreign assets were employed? What spies, indeed, were employed to, for you to have this investigation of the president into whether or not the president of the United States was a spy, was a Russian asset, was a traitor to his nation? This is big stuff.”

“That’s really all I will say,” Barr said.
