IF this DOJ were smart, they'd let the Comey case go. It's a dog case anyway, and then the judge won't have to issue another opinion w/ findings about all the misconduct in the grand jury investigation.
That's if they were smart. So of course they will do the opposite - appeal and attack the judge.
