Government is never so noble as when it is addressing wrongs.

Government can contribute to a shared sense of purpose on the part of the citizenry; that's its highest and best application.

[James] Comey's got a good background but there's nothing there, so far as it appears. Nothing there. So he wrote the letter to the eight Republican committee members copied to the Democrats saying 'you know some emails have turned up, we've looked at a lot of emails now it turns out there are even more emails - we don't know what's there, so there's absolutely no evidence whatsoever that could be of interest to anyone until we conduct our multi-week, multi-month investigation.

Micro managing anything is not a great role for government.
