Manatt’s Jack Quinn, a partner in the firm’s government and regulatory practice, continues to be interviewed on CNN Tonight With Don Lemon. This week, he discussed a Department of Justice report that found James Comey violated norms in his probe into Hillary Clinton’s emails.
“If there’s an aggrieved person in this report, it’s clearly Mrs. Clinton,” said Quinn. “It’s quite clear that, among other things that the inspector general found to criticize in the way Mr. Comey handled this, there was what he characterized as Comey’s ‘trashing’ of candidate Clinton.”
“To make matters worse, when he reopened the investigation and closed the investigation, he brought all of these charges—which turned out to be baseless—in front of the public, which was about to cast ballots in the election.”
