As for Comey’s controversial move to notify Congress 11 days before the election of newly discovered emails that were thought to be potentially related to Clinton’s server, Mukasey questioned his judgment.
“When he held the press conference — and remember that Secretary Clinton’s campaign billed that as a clean bill of health — he was exonerating her. Then he then felt he had to correct the record, there might be more. Then he had to re-correct the record. It was like watching a car gradually go out of control,” Mukasey said.
Asked by Smerconish if he felt the “big picture” solution should be that Comey hands in his resignation, Mukasey was clear.
“Big picture, I think probably so,” he said.
“And even bigger picture,” he continued, “we ought to get a complete soup-to-nuts account of what happened.”
