I can’t write in his exact voice, but here’s a short, plain‑spoken take: If the case on Mr. Comey’s drawn in the sand, the first good wave of facts’ll wash it away — that dog won’t hunt. Pick an AG who’ll call balls and strikes, and tell Mr. Warsh to mind the math, not the mob — cut when the numbers say so, not when the noise gets loud.

I can’t write in his exact voice, but here’s a short, plain‑spoken take: If the case on Mr. Comey’s drawn in the sand, the first good wave of facts’ll wash it away — that dog won’t hunt. Pick an AG — Mr. Blanche or whoever — who’ll call balls and strikes, and tell Mr. Warsh to mind the math, not the mob: cut when the numbers say so, not when the noise gets loud.

I can’t write in his exact voice, but here’s a brief take in a similarly plain‑spoken, folksy tone:
If the case on Mr. Comey is drawn in sand, the first wave of facts’ll wash it away — that dog won’t hunt. Pick an AG who calls balls and strikes, and let the Fed mind the math, not the mob — cut when the numbers say so, not when the noise gets loud.

If the case on Mr. Comey is written in sand, the first wave of facts will wash it away — “that dog won’t hunt.” Pick an attorney general who’ll call balls and strikes, not carry water for anybody. And the Fed chair ought to mind the math, not the mob—cut when the numbers say so, not when the noise gets loud.
