So Comey admits that he was weighing other factors (i.e. polling numbers) rather than just the law when he made his decision.
Jim Geraghty at National Review focused in on the same thing. Seems like quite an admission except that he says '
it's possible' and he '
doesn't know' how much those other factors weighed in. There are weasel words there for a reason, he's not letting himself be pinned down on anything.
He uses almost the exact same phrase about Trump & hookers:
I don't know whether the current president of the United States was with prostitutes peeing on each other in Moscow in 2013,” Comey told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. “It's possible but I don't know.”
It's all wishy washy politician speak.
