Those were investigations based on the facts and the law pursued by career FBI agents and career prosecutors overseen by a special counsel totally walled off by any of the political leadership in the Biden administration.

Millions of Republicans do not believe this.

And that is one of the reasons we are where we are.

But it is a fact that.

And this what happened with Comey is so much different.

The testimony to the Senate at issue has been parsed over by inspectors general and others.

And if there is evidence that proves decisively that James Comey intentionally lied to Congress, I've never seen it.

This is a bare bones indictment.

So we don't know everything that they have.

We don't know everything that they presented to the grand jury, but the indictment on its face does not make the case that he lied.

And so, look, a lot of shock and sadness from many people inside and outside the Justice Department tonight, Jim.

Yeah, that's right.

James Comey's son-in-law, Troy Edwards, one of his sons-in-law, actually was a prosecutor in the National Security Division in this very office, the Eastern District of Virginia.

And tonight he submitted his resignation, effective immediately, saying that he needed to do so to uphold his constitutional rights.

This is a family of public servants.

As you said, James Comey's daughter, a longtime prosecutor in the Southern District, actually prosecuted the Jeffrey Epstein case and the case against Delaine Maxwell, his associate, and was unceremoniously fired and is now suing the Justice Department, alleging that that firing was illegal.

And now you have a son-in-law of James Comey who had been serving his country in this office resigning over this.

So real impact here, Jen.

Ken, how is this going to play out in the next few days? Andrea, this is going to be a really tough thing, as you saw there, for those Republican lawmakers to defend, particularly because many of them have called for the prosecution of people who attacked police officers.
