Just how desperate is CNN to get to speak to Comey after he spilled the beans on Loretta Lynch at Thursday’s hearing? They’ve resorted to calling James Comey’s father. Let the old codger alone. He must be aggravated enough that his son completely bombed as FBI director and at the hyped up hearing.

A CNN reporter called James Comey’s father Saturday — and got the fired FBI director instead.
The reporter, MJ Lee, had called J. Brien Comey Saturday morning, asking for an interview, but the elder Comey said he was expecting “company” and couldn’t speak for a few hours, according to CNN.
But when the reporter called again, a different man picked up.
“His company is his son, Jim,” James Comey told Lee, confirming that he was the former FBI director.
Comey told the reporter that he was about to leave but that his father wouldn’t be speaking to the press.
The reporter then asked Comey for his reaction to the week, including his testimony in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
“You can ask, but I’m not going to talk about that,” Comey said, before wishing CNN luck.
