Kudos to Tennessee Rep Steve Cohen (Re: Calling for Comey's Resignation)

I love this guy. I wish all of our elected representatives had his chutzpah. Yesterday, he became the first congressman to call for Comey's resignation. . .

Also on Sunday evening, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) became the first member of Congress to call on Comey to step down.

The FBI director’s letter was a “plainly premature, careless and unprecedented in its potential impact upon a Presidential election,” Cohen wrote, “without a speck of information regarding the emails in question, their validity, substance or relevance.”

“I’m sure upon reflection of this action he will submit his letter of resignation for the nation’s good,” the congressman concluded.

I hope and expect there will be more over the coming days. Stay tuned.
