Everybody’s talking this morning about former Deputy Attorney General James Comey’s testimony yesterday before the Senate Judiciary Committee in which he described the high speed race to get to get to the bedside of the stricken John Ashcroft before the arrival of then-White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales. The Department of Justice, in the person of then-acting AG Comey, was refusing to sign off on the White House’s warrantless wiretapping program. And Gonzales and Andy Card wanted to see if they could get to the semi-conscious Ashcroft to overrule him.
In any case, no one seems to have the video of Comey’s actual testimony. Or at least they’re not showing his whole narration of what happened. But we do. We had a camera rolling yesterday. And we’re going to bring you lengthy excerpts later this morning on TPMtv. So stay tuned.
