The midnight raid of John Ashcroft's hospital room is not the first time that James Comey has served and saved Justice. The former Deputy Attorney General, acting as Attorney General for the United States, hired Special Counsel Fitzgerald to investigate the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame. On December 30,2003, Comey issued the following order after Attorney General Ashcroft recused himself and his entire staff.
The balance of Justice in America rested in the hands of a few courageous professionals sworn to uphold the Law, regardless of the band of thugs that crashed an ill person's hospital room.
James Comey should be awarded a Medal of Freedom by the next Administration. At the very least, George Tenent should forward his Medal of Freedom immediately to this true Patriot.
