However, I agree that Obama should also acknowledge that his previous public claim (that the gun got into Roof's hands due to a private transaction loophole) was false.
As an aside, I've thought highly of Comey in the interviews and appearances I've seen him in over the past year. He appears to be a stand up guy, and I hope this doesn't derail him.
