Atlanta, GA – Tea Party Patriots President and co-founder Jenny Beth Martin released the following statement today, reacting to former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

“After weeks of hype and smears by critics of the President, Mr. Comey failed to provide any evidence of ‘collusion’ between the Trump campaign and Russia or that there was any attempt to obstruct his investigation. In fact, Mr. Comey validated President Trump’s statement that he was told on three separate occasions he wasn’t a target of the investigation. After months of illegal leaks and innuendo, even Senator Mark Warner, the senior Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee has acknowledged ‘there is no smoking gun.’ Enough is enough. It’s time for the Washington Establishment to stop the smears and the false innuendo and allow the focus in Washington to move back where it always should have been: debating and advancing the agenda the American people voted for when they elected President Trump.”
