Comey: Republicans Will Be Really Sorry for Abandoning Principle and Precedent When There’s a Democrat President

‘If I’m them, I sure would want these career people in place, making sure that it’s done in the right way’

EXCERPT:

COMEY: “Well, these are the people who, through decades and decades, have seen every kind of case. And so they’re there to make sure that the work, no matter who’s in charge in the White House, no matter who the attorney general is, that the work is done consistently with previous practice and consistent with the law. I know Republicans these days aren’t big in thinking about principle or precedent. They’re going to be deeply sorry that that disappears, because someday there will be a Democratic president and there will be investigations of Republican officeholders. If I’m them, I sure would want these career people in place, making sure that it’s done in the right way.”
