Because President Trump had literally admitted that he wanted to call the play and have this person indicted regardless of doubts and evidence problems within his own DOJ.Comey is now speaking out. When this news first broke about this within this hour last night, about 24 hours ago, we had just gotten the indictment, just gotten that news.

York. We begin today with the message of defiance from the former director of the FBI whose indictment last night marks a radical turn, a literal hinge point in which our country ceased adhering to one of the central tenants of life in a democracy.
