Washington (CNN)Former FBI Director James Comey dinged acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker in an interview Monday, saying the controversial Justice Department chief "may not be the sharpest knife in our drawer," but he doubted Whitaker would derail the Russia investigation, as some lawmakers fear.

"He may not be the sharpest knife in our drawer, but he can see his future and knows that if he acted in an extralegal way, he would go down in history for the wrong reasons," Comey told Boston's WGBH News. "I'm sure he doesn't want that."

Since he was installed by President Donald Trump earlier this month, Whitaker has been criticized by opponents of the White House for his limited legal resume and public criticism of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

Democrats on Capitol Hill have called for Whitaker's recusal from the Russia investigation, of which he gained oversight after Jeff Sessions' ouster, though the Justice Department has said only that Whitaker will follow "all appropriate processes and procedures," including consulting with career ethics officials about "matters that may warrant recusal."

In his interview with WGBH, Comey expressed concern about whether Whitaker had sought an ethics review regarding his oversight of the Mueller probe, and also called his appointment a serious legal question that needs to be worked out by the courts, the station reported.

A number of groups, including three Democratic senators and the attorney general for the state of Maryland, have filed suit in federal court challenging Whitaker's appointment.

Comey also weighed in on the subpoena issued last week compelling his appearance before the House Judiciary Committee next week. Though he has resisted the scheduled closed-door interview, calling instead for a public hearing and saying through his lawyer that he would fight the subpoena in court, Comey said Monday that he would not ignore the Hill's order.

"I always respect subpoenas," Comey told WGBH. "I would never just ignore a subpoena. If I were going to respond in some way, I would respond legally. I wouldn't just blow it off."…

A Space Force is worth the price

One of the most hotly debated proposals in the FY 2020 budget cycle is likely to be the creation of a military service for space. One of the main arguments being made against the creation of a Space Force is the cost. In September, an internal Air Force memo leaked to the media estimated that cost at $13 billion — an eye-popping figure, if true. But missed in this headline were some important caveats, namely that this was a five-year cost estimate and it included a lot more than just a Space Force, such as a billion-dollar new headquarters building for U.S. Space Command.

The true cost of a Space Force likely would be much less than the Air Force’s estimate. Deputy Secretary Patrick Shanahan recently noted that the five-year cost will be in the low single-digit billions, and my own estimate pegs the number at somewhere between $1.5 billion and $2.7 billion, much less than what the Department of Defense (DOD) will spend on audit readiness over the same five-year period. Cost, however, should not be a primary concern in this debate because there are three compelling reasons the United States needs a Space Force…

Michael Flynn Jr. Calls Out Geraldo’s ‘One-Sided’ Sympathy For Migrants

Michael Flynn Jr., son of former National Security Advisor Lt Gen Michael Flynn, responded via Twitter to Fox News co-host Geraldo Rivera’s emotional defense of migrants who stormed the U.S. Mexico border on Sunday.

In a Monday afternoon “The Five” segment, Rivera responded to a question from co-host Jesse Watters about media dishonesty on the subject by stating his refusal “to deal with this as a media issue, because it’s far too important.”
