Listen as Larry spoke with Andrew McCarthy regarding his latest article, The Bipartisan Case against James Comey.
During the interview, McCarthy discussed the differences between the Russia investigation and Hillary Clinton’s email probe:
O’Connor: Are there any other reasons why the administration would fire James Comey at this time?
McCarthy: I just think Larry that it is a misunderstanding of what the nature of the Russia investigation is. You know, I think because the word investigation is attached to it, people think it must mean your typical criminal case. But the nature of it is an intelligence investigation, which is not directed at trying to make a criminal case against somebody in the United States, the idea is to try to get to the bottom of the actions and intentions of Russia are – to the extent that they impact on American interest at home and abroad. So, I know it’s called an investigation, just like a criminal investigation is called an investigation, but as I’ve said before, to say the two things are the same because they’re both called an investigation is like saying red and blue are the same because they are both colors.
An excerpt of McCarthy’s National Review article, The Bipartisan Case against James Comey, is below:
Jim Comey has been a good friend to me over the years. I have disagreed strenuously with a number of decisions he made in connection with the Hillary Clinton investigation — with his rationales and with the fact that he was presuming to exercise authority that was not his to exercise. The independence of law enforcement is critical, but at times he seemed to redefine “independent” as beholden to only those institutional guidelines he subjectively judged worthy of following. Still, I personally know him to be a good man. I know that he loves the country and the FBI, and that every decision he made — regardless of whether it was right or wrong — was made in what he sincerely believed was the best interests of both.

McCarthy also pinned another article on PJ Media entitled, In Clinton Caper, Comey Was the Most Visible Player, Not the Most Consequential:
At National Review last weekend, I addressed the Democrats’ loopy claim that the FBI became a Trump partisan in the 2016 election. The claim is worth more examination in light of President Trump’s dismissal of FBI Director James Comey.
In Clinton World, self-absorption always triumphs over self-inspection, so nothing could be more predictable than Hillary Clinton’s scapegoating of Comey, a diversion from acknowledging what really cost her the election: her own manifest flaws. Congressional Democrats are along for the ride: those who were swooning over Comey in July when he announced that Clinton would not be charged, then ripped him in October when he reopened and quickly reclosed the FBI’s investigation, and then branded him a Trump partisan hack after the votes were counted, are suddenly back in swoon mode.
