President Donald Trump should be convicted by the Senate, but not criminally prosecuted for inciting Capitol rioters, former FBI Director James Comey said Sunday, adding that it would give America space to “heal.”.

“Instead, turn off the camera lights,” said Comey, who was fired from his role as FBI Director in 2017 by Trump while he was leading a probe into the president's 2016 presidential campaign’s possible collusion with Russia, added.

Comey, 60, said he would like to see Trump convicted by the Senate and barred from ever holding public office again, but the ex-FBI boss said he was concerned a prosecution would impede Biden’s efforts to reunite the nation.

“The country needs to find a way to heal itself and the new president needs the opportunity to lead and heal us — both literally and spiritually,” Comey said.

He said the trial would give Trump the attention he craves.

“It mystifies and angers me,” Comey said, adding: “It will be important for our country to understand that failure."
