Is anyone else suffering from outrage fatigue?
James Comey testified today about a visit that Alberto Gonzales and Andrew Card made to John Ashcroft in the hospital. Ashcroft was recovering from surgery and Comey was Acting Attorney General. Card and Gonzales wanted the Justice Dept. to sign off on warrantless wiretaps. According to Comey, Ashcroft told them to go screw themselves. I’ve heard this story before, but this is the first time I’ve heard it from an eyewitness.
Comey said he was angry at what he perceived to be an attempt to take advantage of a man on his sickbed.
Will anyone care? Haven’t we heard much worse without any consequences? Who knows what will finally move Republicans to say ‘No More’?
