In his interview, Nicole Wallace of NBC said, "It's hard to imagine two FBI agents ending up in the State Room. How did that happen?" The audience erupted when Comey responded dryly, "I sent them." What followed was even more revealing.
One line could not more aptly capture Comey and his own professed view of "Ethical leadership." The interview confirmed what some of us have written about Comey for more than two years.
The first public act of Deputy Attorney General was to issue a memo excoriating Comey for his "Serious mistakes" and citing former judges, attorneys general, and leading prosecutors who believed Comey "Violated longstanding Justice Department policies and tradition" along with "His obligation to 'preserve, protect and defend' the traditions of the department and the FBI." Rosenstein added that Comey "Refused to admit his errors."
Now Comey has again admitted to violating rules and protocols, by setting up Flynn.
Ironically, Comey criticized Trump for breaking longstanding protocols in meeting with him alone and asking about an ongoing investigation.
Comey seemed to delight the audience by taking credit for keeping Flynn in the dark about the FBI interview.
When Wallace asked what Flynn thought the FBI agents wanted, Comey replied, "I don't think he knew. I know we didn't tell him." Actually, Comey didn't tell anyone.
