insulting and degrading to jim comey, but it was insulting to the men and women of the fbi. some of whom i think agree with the proposition that the director put himself too much into the middle of the hillary clinton investigation in what happened in july and then later in the year, so that you can find people that agree with that, but regardless of that, how they treated a distinguished public servant, sacrificing professional patriot, was insulting and a slap in their face as well. part of what we re learning is about this deteriorating relationship between comey and the president. the new york times reports days before comey was fired, comey asked for more resources for the russia inquiry, including more prosecutors and other personnel to help speed up the investigation. matt, what do you make of that? i think that s one of the questions acting director mccabe is going to have to answer on the hill today.
