Sean Hannity: My top questions for James Comey
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}In the wake of James Comey publishing a list of questions he'd like to ask former Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Sean Hannity offered his own set to the fired former FBI director.
Comey's list, which appeared on the legal website, Lawfare, looked to be something of a blueprint for Democrats to use in their questioning of Mueller on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, Hannity said Monday on "Hannity."
"[He's] conveniently ignoring anything about his FISA abuse -- his signing of a document that's unverifiable... so I have my own questions for Jim Comey," Hannity said.

Hannity said he would ask Comey if he knew the text of 18 USC 793, or the Espionage Act.
"And, what part of that did Hillary Clinton not violate?" he asked.

"Why were aides like Cheryl Mills offered immunity?"
Hannity said he wanted Comey to explain how Clinton's deleting of emails was not an infraction worth investigating.

"Why did you accept [former] Attorney General Lynch's description... that the Clinton investigation was not an investigation at all, but a 'matter'?"

"Did you yourself violate the Espionage Act?" Hannity asked.
