From: "Rich Gauszka" 

I was surprised by it. It appears to be another misguided attempt to show
support for the administration. He obviously didn't read Gary's Blankley
post

But if any of their actions warrant criminal conviction, the president and
his allies would be grievously ill-advised to minimize such criminal
conduct or disparage the prosecutor. Perjury, if that is the charge, is a
very serious felony. All the more so when committed by a person in high
office.

>> First, Hannity went on to discuss only one Fitzgerald statement, which

>>
>>  "I think what drives [Comey] is a commitment to justice and wanting to

>> Hardly damning, but let's look at what else Hannity
"uncovered." He said

>> '[P]robably Fitzgerald's greatest talent was finding creative ways to

>>
>> But that's not a direct quote, it's the reporter's characterization.
>> Here's what Fitzgerald's colleague actually said:
>>
>>  "When you'd looked at a case from every angle and you were sure you
