No, that's not what he said. He said:
Quote:
QUESTION: Good evening. Considering the high standards that we set for law enforcement, what do you think should have been the consequences for Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and Andrew McCabe?
COMEY: I thank you for the question. I think, given the standards that we have, and especially we in the FBI have, there should have been and was severe discipline around their behavior, as Anderson said, very different episodes of behavior.
Everyone has opinions about political issues and religious issues and sports issues. You can't bring them to work and have them affect your work. There have to be severe consequences.

He made a general observation about the need for people at DOJ to leave their political views at home, something I agree with. He did not say that Mueller's investigation was tainted or politicized. I'm not sure why you think that doubling down on a stupid point is a good idea -- you should give it up. Stop trying to pretend that Comey agrees with you. He doesn't.
