Annual employee surveys released by the FBI on Wednesday show former Director James Comey was highly regarded, contradicting President Donald Trumps claim when he fired Comey this year that he had lost the confidence of the agencys workers.
The voluntary survey conducted in 2017 showed Comey received top marks on all but two of more than 90 questions. He scored high marks for expressing a compelling vision for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and helping morale, with respondents strongly agreeing that they would choose to work with him again.
The findings contradict statements made by Trump and White House officials at the time of Comeys firing on May 9. Trump insisted he fired Comey because of job performance and told a news conference the FBI chief was very unpopular with most people. Trump portrayed the FBI under Comey as being a mess.
Comey told a Senate panel that White House claims the FBI was in disarray and poorly led were lies, plain and simple. Other senior FBI officials praised Comey and said they were proud to have worked with him, but the workplace surveys were the first broad measure of employee sentiment toward him.

Comey being an enemy of Trump does not make him an honorable person.

How could such a man ever lie?
