Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. Comey also proved there are two sets of rules -- one for bureaucrats and one for the American people, Jordan claimed Thursday on Fox News Radio's "The Todd Starnes Show."

Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein took an apparent shot at former FBI Director James Comey on Twitter Thursday and derided commentators from CNN and MSNBC following the release of the Justice Department inspector general's report. While Rosenstein didn't explicitly mention Comey, his initial tweet quoted a letter in which he cautioned against violating Justice Department policy because of short-term circumstances. "It is important for the Department of Justice to follow established policies and procedures, especially when the stakes are high," Rosenstein wrote. In the preceding paragraph, he mentioned that Comey seemed to argue that circumstances justified both his disclosures...
