He is, and he is also the son of John Ashcroft.

The jagoff who let the Lame Plame special counsel go on for a few years even though there was no underlying crime???? That John Ashcroft?
Sound like a certain investigation that has been going on for a few years against Trump?
In that case, then-Attorney General John Ashcroft recused himself from investigating—handing the decision about whether to invite a special prosecutor to his deputy attorney general, James Comey, who is now director of the FBI.
Did Comey suggest to Ashcroft that he should recuse himself, and Ashcroft took the bait? But the real scumbag in that whole affair as we now know was former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage. John Ashcroft was a good & decent man, who wanted to show no bias in the affair. But like Sessions, it was a mistake for him to recuse himself. Patrick J. Fitzgerald, was also another scumbag who knew Scooter Libby was not guilty. All of these people, except John Ashcroft, need to rot in jail before rotting in hell.
