>> however, everyone was mad about what comey did in 2016 except for maybe the trump campaign in hindsight at the end, but we should apply that standard now? >> that's a hard argument to make. one of the things barr, i think, probably wants to do is to fix some of those perception problems over at the justice department, that this is a place where people just go out and have press conferences and say all kinds of things about people who are not being charged with any kind of crime. and, you know, to sort of apply the comey standard to this is a little hypocritical on the democrat side, but it would also be, i think, compounding and an already damaging problem for the department that is really in bad shape in terms of public perception and in terms of their ability to really do what they are supposed to be doing, which is carrying out investigations without it all being out for the world to see. that being said, this is an extraordinary investigation.
