James Comey Quotes
I am descended from Irish immigrants. A century ago, the Irish knew well how American society-and law enforcement-viewed them: as drunks, ruffians, and criminals. Law enforcement’s biased view of the Irish lives on in the nickname we still use for the vehicles we use to transport groups of prisoners. It is, after all, the 'paddy wagon.'
