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.

And look, we knew Donald Trump was going to pardon some January 6th defendants, but it is a shock that he pardoned people who are on video attacking law enforcement defendants. And it is a real body blow to this building where I'm standing inside the Justice Department, because this was the single biggest criminal investigation in American history.

Nearly every field office, FBI field office and every U.S. attorney's office participated in trying to bring these January 6th attackers to justice. It was one of the highest priorities of the Justice Department. They put intensive resources into it.
