RealPlayer feed is very slow to open, give it a few minutes to launch the feed; will look like an audio feed that isn’t launching at first.

CSPAN3 is NOT carrying this, sorry.

EW & LHP — I’m increasingly convinced that McNulty was set up, firewalled off by the Delegation of Authority deliberately to allow plausible deniability, given his talking points, even though the handouts (likely prepared by Goodling or Sampson) at his 06-MAR testimony indicated a disparity between what happened and that to which he testified. I would like someone on SJC to ask whether McNulty saw, read and approved the handouts.

That’s why I said I may owe him 1/2 an apology. See last post

Comey liked them all – all strong – very strong.

Spector: What about Sampson calling for resignation of Fitz?

I only know what I read in the paper. Surprised.

What did you think about Kyle?
Competent, smart.

What about what he recommended about Fitz?
Not good, if it was something he really meant.

What about Gonzo?
Comey: (silence)
Spector: Let the record show a very long pause.

Comey: good working relationship, no reason to question his ability as AG.

Sounds like an episode of “24″

I think The Godfather is a more relevant comparison.

James Comey:George Bush :: John Dean:Richard Nixon
