Comey Keeps Digging

The First Law of Holes is this: When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. A surprising number of people in prominent positions understand this principle but cannot apply it in their own lives.

John Hinderaker of Power Line links to a Rasmussen Reports survey looking at public attitudes toward malfeasance of the FBI leadership during the Obama administration.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 54% of Likely U.S. Voters believe a special prosecutor should be named to investigate whether senior FBI officials handled the investigation of Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump in a legal and unbiased fashion, up from 49% who said the same in January. Thirty percent (30%) disagree, but a sizable 16% are not sure.
Among those with an opinion, nine favor an investigation of the FBI for every five who are opposed. That's very nearly 2/3 in favor. People have described James Comey's book promotion tour as slow-motion public suicide, apparently it is so perceived.
