FBI director-nominee James Comey told the Senate Judiciary Committee that he isn’t perfect, but he will follow the example of his predecessor.

“I know that this will be a hard job,” Comey said at this morning’s confirmation hearing. “I’m sure that things will go wrong and I will make mistakes.”

When he does fall short, Comey pledged, he will learn from his mistakes as outgoing FBI director Robert Mueller did.

Comey served as deputy attorney general from 2003 to 2005.
