Why Comey name-dropped Giants, and ripped Patriots, in Trump/Russia congressional hearing

FBI Director James Comey hates the Patriots, and loves the Giants.

That's what America learned Monday during Comey's testimony at a House Intelligence Committee hearing on potential Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, as well as allegations President Trump's campaign may have colluded with the Russians.

"No matter who they play, I'd like them to lose," Comey said while making an allusion to possible Russian intent while trying to interfere with the election.

Noted. Comey then later clarified why he hates the reigning Super Bowl champions: He's a Giants fan.

"If I'm honest with myself, the reason I don't like the Patriots is they represent sustained excellence," Comey added.
