WASHINGTON ― Congressional leaders are furious after a classified briefing on Friday revealed that FBI Director James Comey enjoyed the Star Wars prequels, according to several members who were present at the closed-door session.
While the controversial briefing was supposed to reveal critical information about Russian influence in the US presidential election, most were surprised to learn that Comey used the briefing to come clean about several sensitive issues — most notably his opinion of the three Star Wars movies released between 1999 and 2005.
“I’m disappointed, outraged — many of us are right now,” Rep. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) said immediately following the briefing. "We expect a level of professionalism and taste in the man we entrust with the greatest law enforcement organization in the world. I no longer have any confidence in Mr. Comey's leadership of that organization."
