David Ignatius: Why Was Comey Waiting if He Knew Everything Was So Bad at the Time?

EXCERPT:

IGNATIUS: “I'd like Comey to answer why he didn’t do more with the information that he was making such meticulous notes about. He -- he keeps leaving these meetings, writing almost in the voice of a screenwriter. You know, the grandfather clock stood next to the door, the small oval table -- it’s -- it's meticulous. But -- but he doesn’t talk to Jeff Sessions, his boss. He keeps the information away from him. He doesn’t go to the Oversight Committees on the Hill, so far as we know, and give them a kind of detail, that’s surfaced more recently. Why was he waiting? Was he trying to build a case? Was he trying to make up his mind? Did he think that in fact, Trump had not done anything that he could describe as -- as -- as illegal to launch an investigation? I think that’s really an important point. Why did he wait? If it’s as bad as he says he thought it was at the time?”
