Yeah, but I think Comey's goes beyond that. He's a moralist, not just a cop.
Right, but to me that's moralist: His job is crime or no crime but he routinely comments on good v bad. @JZdziarski

@emptywheel@JZdziarski I don't disagree on Comey as a moralist. My use of scold may be archaic, but seems fitting to public moralizing. -
Someday I'm going to try to hunt down copy of Comey's Reinhold Niebuhr/Jerry Falwell undergrad thesis
@JZdziarski -
But IIRC
@pastordan once did an analysis of how Comey performs (or not) Niebuhr's teachings.@JZdziarski -
Yeah, I think you challenged me into that. Wasn't very good though, IIRC.

I found it interesting but then I'm too lazy to understand the Niebhur background myself.

@regretblues@emptywheel@JZdziarski Not a scorecard, but a scoldcard. :-)
