Stephanopolous to Kaine: Do You Still Believe Comey Is a ‘Wonderful’ Public Servant?

KAINE: "That’s what makes this so hard to understand, George. It really does. I — I worked with Jim Comey when he was in the Eastern District of Virginia, the U.S. attorney’s office and I was mayor here. That’s what makes this — this so completely puzzling. They did a very thorough investigation of this matter. And they did — they weren’t releasing, you know, tentative conclusions along the way. They waited until they got to the end of it. And then he gave a very unequivocal finding. And so why he would released this sort of tentative letter and then have to back up on it within 24 hours, when he hadn’t even — hadn’t even seen the emails himself, I just cannot understand that."
