Accountability Should Not Be Selective: Why I Believe James Comey Should Face Consequences

There are moments in politics when your principles are tested not by your enemies, but by the people you are more inclined to agree with. This is one of those moments for me.

I remember when this shutdown first started — I said, half out of frustration and half out of fear, that if this thing went on long enough, furloughed federal workers would eventually have to take on second jobs just to make ends meet.
