Comey’s Lawyer on Upcoming Testimony: He Didn’t Want His Words To Get ‘Twisted’ By Republicans

RUSH EXCERPT:

MELBER: “Now, everyone can debate whether Comey’s right about his view there, but the reason we can all debate it is because the witness showed up and talked under oath in public. So yes, it does look suspicious that some Republicans don’t want any of this in public this week. They want to talk to him in secret. At the same time that trump’s busted for trying to target Comey. When the president is trying to get you indicted and jailed and members are Congress are subpoenaing you to testify in secret and Bob Mueller is interviewing you as a key witness, you need a good lawyer. Even if you’re James Comey. You need someone who can litigate and maneuver through those forces, Mueller, trump, Congress. So it’s notable that Comey didn’t tap a typical Washington council to handle these battles.”
