Greg Brower: Comey Indictment ‘Devastating to the Rule of Law and to Our Democracy Overall’

EXCERPT:

BROWER: "Significantly so. Elie, I‘m sure, would agree that when he and I in the past went into court on behalf of the United States of America, we enjoyed, for good reason, a high degree of credibility from jurors, from judges, from witnesses. People generally have accepted that the DoJ plays it straight, that the system is fair, and that the reason why cases are brought is because justice demands it. That is eroding in recent years, and I‘m afraid it‘s having a very negative effect on the way that the average American sees DoJ and the federal government. And this, I think many people will point to, is just the most recent, perhaps most egregious and outrageous example of that. But it‘s devastating to the rule of law and to our democracy overall."
