Dana Bash, reacting to former FBI director James Comey's testimony before the Senate, said Comey my not be a Democrat or a Republican, but "boy is this guy political."



"We’ve said before he might not be a Democrat or Republican, but boy is this guy political," Bash said.



"That just gives you a sense that he's not just a Pollyanna boy scout," Bash said of Comey decision to leak his memos to Daniel Richman, a professor at Columbia University.





DANA BASH, CNN: The other thing that I found and you also mentioned this, extraordinary isn’t just that James Comey admitted that he asked a friend of his to give the contents of his memos to the New York Times, but that he said that he did it because he wanted to spur a special counsel. We’ve said before he might not be a Democrat or Republican, but boy is this guy political to sort of have the wherewithal to do that and to sort of think ten steps ahead and want that to be the end goal. That just gives you a sense that he's not just a Pollyanna boy scout. He wants to affect something and he wants to get to the point of something like that and he knows exactly how to do it and use the institutions of Washington and the media to make that happen.
