Not satisfied with sourcing anonymous people familiar with the matter of Comey's feelings about Trump's "influence" over investigations, CNN is now asking fired former FBI Director Comey's 86-year-old dad how he feels...
In a phone interview with CNN on Saturday, J. Brien Comey claims that President Trump was "scared to death" of Comey, and that is what led to his firing...
"I think the man should be in a home quite honestly, he's crazy as a hoot."
"...Trump changes every day. He had three reasons three days in a row."
"Jim tells the truth, (while) Trump runs around lying most of the day."
"Oh my God, I think he should be impeached immediately -- yesterday. He's a very incompetent guy. He's out of his league."
"[Comey] didn't give him 100% loyalty, and he demands that of people who work with him, "[Comey] said he would give 100% honesty, but not loyalty."
The elder Comey, who first spoke to New Jersey's The Record about his son's firing, said he preferred Republican Ohio Governor John Kasich during the 2016 Republican presidential primary because he "seemed like a very honest guy. He made a good impression on me. I thought he would make a good president."

Comey's father concluded by insisting that his son is doing ok even after his ouster.
"He's doing fine. He's a solid citizen, he has lots of opportunity,... It was a dumb thing to get rid of him. A loss for the FBI."
So to summarize - Dad defends son (which reminds us - how many times have we seen the parents of some murderer proclaim on TV, "he's just not that kind of person"? remaining in denial despite the social media streamed, blood-soaked killings?... just saying).
