James Comey

I'm not on it.

No, this is my first experience with a sheesh.

It's not easy to say.

A seashell prosecution.

It's like you wonder, am I asleep?

Am I having a Jonathan Turley dream or something?

Or a Megyn Kelly dream?

I mean, there's a famous speech in the circles in which I worked by Robert Jackson, who was the attorney general in 1940.

And he called together all the federal prosecutors who were serving under Franklin Roosevelt to the Great Hall, the Department of Justice, to sort of tell them to get their act together and act in a nonpolitical way.

He was really worried about them responding to political imperatives.

And one of the things he said is, a prosecutor can do great good in society, but a prosecutor is at his most dangerous, where instead of investigating crimes, he picks a person and then seeks to find a crime to pin to that person.

He said it more eloquently than I can, but that's what you see happening with people like Ms.

Hutchinson, who you're right, is far less able, probably emotionally, financially, and other ways to stand up for herself than I am.

And it's intended to send a message

that it's the reason that the mob tried to whack witnesses and why the witness protection program was the most important thing we ever developed in this country in the battle against Cosa Nostra, because they couldn't threaten people who were willing to tell the truth.

That's what's going on, is sending a message trying to scare people who've spoken out.

I mean, John Brennan is a great example, but even someone like Cassidy Hutchinson is another example.

Yeah, totally inappropriate.

The search warrants are issued under seal to safeguard law enforcement, but also to protect the subject of investigations.

So they're not smeared by a public shaming.
