Comey's View of Trump

Is probably shared by just about everybody in the Justice Department and FBI and probably everybody in the Intelligence Community too.

Bad News for Donald. They won't just roll over and play dead if, for example, he decides to fire Rosenstein or Meuller.

1. I've got to say

that nothing Comey has said about Trump has surprised me in the least. (I read the NYT book review on his book). It's what all of us thinking people always thought of him. He's an ignorant, narcissistic, lawless, bully, akin to a mafioso. The fact that he got into the White House will go down in history as one of our country's biggest travesties.

If trump made the comment about “if there’s even a 1% chance that Melania would believe it..”, my reaction would not have been “duh! Melania probably thinks there’s a 50% chance that it’s true, she wasn’t born yesterday and we all know what kind of man you are, from hearing about the peeping in on the teenagers getting dressed at Miss America to hearing your “grab em” comment to the reaction to Howard Stern’s questions about your daughter to your clearly abnormal and unhealthy way of degrading people around you.”

5. The irony of the Melania excuse

Right, Cheeto was so concerned about Melania, maybe she'd believe there really was a pee tape. After Cheeto and Michael Cohen paid off 100 women during the the last weeks of the campaign to keep them from coming forward and embarrassing him. (Stormy Daniels was one of many, many women who got their arms twisted.)

He's a fucking disgusting creep and his wife (really, wives) already know it. His family already knows it. WE ALL know it. Whether or not there's a pee tape doesn't really matter.

James Comey had to already know it too, but he bent over backwards to get this creep elected ANYWAY!
He torpedoed Hillary's chances of getting elected ANYWAY! I don't care what Comey's reasons were.

7. It's absurd that Melania would be worried about hookers peeing on a bed

3. How could Comey not have seen the patterns before then?

Trump’s behavior and personality makes it totally plausible that he was with Russian prostitutes in Moscow, and that he’s a rich freak. The man has a gold plated toilet for heaven sakes, and he is obsessed with the size of his small hands.

It’s weird to hear him express surprise about “what kind of man are you that your wife would think that there was only a 99% chance...” that you had not been with peeing prostitutes in Moscow.

Trump totally seems like the type, and it’s weird that Comey didn’t see it sooner.

My reaction about Comey’s comment there is, “doesn’t get out much, does he?”

He’s prosecuted mob figures before, hasn't he seen everything?

6. Well, hes not saying that he is just now surprised.

The surprise was during the conversation which took place shortly after Rump started to play president.
I don’t think Comey had had any personal contact with Rump before that.
