Comey makes good points in his OP-ED today by saying:
Quote:
Amoral leaders have a way of revealing the character of those around them. Sometimes what they reveal is inspiring. For example, James Mattis, the former secretary of defense, resigned over principle, a concept so alien to Mr. Trump that it took days for the president to realize what had happened, before he could start lying about the man.
But more often, proximity to an amoral leader reveals something depressing. I think that’s at least part of what we’ve seen with Bill Barr and Rod Rosenstein. Accomplished people lacking inner strength can’t resist the compromises necessary to survive Mr. Trump and that adds up to something they will never recover from. It takes character like Mr. Mattis’s to avoid the damage, because Mr. Trump eats your soul in small bites.
It starts with your sitting silent while he lies, both in public and private, making you complicit by your silence. In meetings with him, his assertions about what “everyone thinks” and what is “obviously true” wash over you, unchallenged, as they did at our private dinner on Jan. 27, 2017, because he’s the president and he rarely stops talking. As a result, Mr. Trump pulls all of those present into a silent circle of assent.
Kamilla and SPartacus are idiots. Smug idiots. And she is just a toy for Willie Brown..
They brought nothing to the table, no real questions. No Gothca Moments. Nothing.
From the guy who leaked info to the press in order to force the special council in the first place. Written in an anti Semitic tabloid, disguised as a newspaper.
Comey didn't leak classified information. If Trump supporters are so considered about leaked memos why aren't they more concerned about a president that used Russia and Wikileaks to win an election, then obstruct and lie?
A huge hypocritical jump given that Comey has worked for law enforcement for decades even under Guiliani and Mueller.
You're missing the point, yes he released the report but not after he put his thumb on the scale knowing full well there's virtually no chance that the majority of Americans are going to sift through a 400 page report.
Add to that poisoning the well that the press can not be trusted to do their traditional job of offering context to issues the public doesn't have the time,inclination or resources to find out for themselves and this is what results.

Wikileaks emails were released by Wikileaks. Trump doesn’t run or controls Wikileaks just like he doesn’t control the garbage that NYT and WP and the rest of the media reports which is 80% is negative.
Whoever stole those emails exposed the truth about Hillary and the DNC, it was rigged and corrupt.
You mean obstruct like Hillary destroying evidence when subpoena? Trump didn’t do that and if lying is a crime for democrats then the DNC would stop to exist.
