This one we’re just noting for your entertainment.
Rep. Chris Cannon (R-UT) jumped in to declare that James Comey was only the deputy attorney general during the very beginning of the process of firing U.S. attorneys. The real, hard decision making obviously happened after Comey left.
This was a process, Cannon said, that after “thousands and thousands of documents” have been turned over to Congress and “over more than half a dozen interviews” has been shown to be “a fairly thoughtful, competent process.” So what’s all the hullabaloo about? Cannon just wants us to “get beyond this.”
