HuffPost writer Howard Fineman said on MSNBC's "Hardball" Friday that people who attack former FBI Director James Comey for his testimony should "grow a pair themselves.
Chris Matthews started the discussion on Comey by saying "But the notion of leaking, I mean I spent all these years since the '70s in Washington, and leaking is what you do in politics. I mean if you're going to get a story on the front page of a newspaper, you give it to one newspaper or one weekly magazine as you know. That's how you put out a story."
"I mean Jim Comey went in front of the whole world yesterday, in that scene you're showing right there and called the president of the United States a liar, and in excruciating, riveting detail," Fineman said.
"Now that's guts. That's not lack of guts. That's guts big time," Fineman added.
"Well said," Matthews said.
