Comey considered ‘interven[ing] physically’

during the hospital meeting with Gonzales and Card:

Alerted to the others’ visit, Comey raced to the hospital himself, getting there with just minutes to spare. “I remember waiting; it wasn’t long, but it felt like forever,” Comey told U.S. News in an exclusive interview. “And I was thinking, ‘What am I going to do? What if they get him to sign something? Do I intervene physically? What do I do?‘”

Incidentally, James Comey is 6-foot-8.
