Ousted Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly has been in the political realm for years — and he just proved he knows exactly what he’s talking about.
O’Reilly took to Twitter Wednesday, just one day before ex-FBI director James Comey was set to testify, and made a dire warning about the aftermath about to erupt from the anti-Trump media.
No matter what Comey says, the mainstream media will use it as an excuse to tear America further apart.
USA will become more divided after Comey testifies. Anti-Trump media will whip the story into a hysterical exposition, ride it for weeks.

He acknowledged the intensity of hatred within the liberal media for the president further on his website.
“No matter what Comey says, the anti-Trump media will whip the story up into a hysterical exposition and ride it for weeks,” O’Reilly warned. “Donald Trump will get hammered no matter what happens at the hearing.”
Comey’s prepared opening statement was released Wednesday, and the liberal media bit hard in the exact way O’Reilly predicted.
His statement revealed Trump asked Comey for his “loyalty” which quickly became the mainstream’s “proof” that Trump was trying to force Comey to drop the investigation.
An exaggerated conclusion to say the least, legal experts say.
O’Reilly pointed out an important factor that the mainstream sources chose to ignore: Trump didn’t break the law. Period.
A sitting President has absolute authority to ask about any investigation as long as the Prez does not interfere in fact gathering process.

Comey’s testimony is scheduled for 10 a.m. ET Thursday, but the Senate Intelligence committee heard testimonies from U.S. intelligence chiefs Wednesday.
Their testimonies were barely covered by the liberal media, which critics say is because of the lack of negative information they gave on the president.
Not much out of the Senate Intelligence hearings today. 0/4 chieftains implicated the WH in any wrongdoing. Bad day for the anti-Trump media

In an incredible recognition of media bias against Trump, O’Reilly then tweeted an eye-opener for liberals.
Did you know that the Obama admin prosecuted more leakers of classified information than every other administration combined since 1945?

But where’s the criticism of Obama?
There likely won’t be any, as O’Reilly noted, since the mainstream media is quick to twist any story they can to paint a negative image of Trump.
Something that will predictably continue in the coming weeks following Comey’s testimony Thursday.
