Roberts’ mistake is that he waited too long to do this. Kimberly Strassel in the Wall Street Journal on Friday lambasted Collyer. She knew all along. Ignored damning evidence from Nunes. And did nothing. This week she is suddenly outraged.
This spills over onto Roberts of course because he also knew and did nothing. (Heck I knew!) But Roberts firing Collyer is just the first step in cleaning up what is a huge mess. We should focus attention on his inaction up to this point, not that he has now finally cashiered her.
