There was a section about James Comey that had been previously redacted.
So we'll see what it says.
I don't want to get ahead of my skis.
I want to be fair to everybody.
Let's do the reporting.
But I did know and I fought for a week to get this information redacted and to the credit of the attorney general, to the credit of the FBI director, who, by the way, have a thousand other jobs like saving people in D.C.
from crime and other things.
They took the time to look at this.
They agreed that it didn't need to be redacted, that it is important to the American public.
Those documents are going to be transmitted to Congress.
I think we'll know about them shortly.
But there are secrets, deep secrets about the FBI and the James Comey era we still don't know about.
And I think we're beginning to get a picture of what the Justice Department looked like under Jeff Sessions and Rod Rosenstein.
I think there were moments of information
that were available to that Justice Department, and that some of the failures of accountability don't go back to the Obama era, like the things we talked about last week, but some of them rest on the first Justice Department under Donald Trump.
Case in point, this morning, we have a really important story.
It shows that after the FBI was turned down, not once, not twice, but three times for investigating corruption against Hillary Clinton's foundation,
Three years later, the IRS got contacted by whistleblowers.
One of them was the DEA's, one of their top counterterrorism intelligence analysts for a long time.
He actually testified at some famous post 9-11 hearings, very decorated, very trusted all across the law enforcement community.
