2. It's interesting that she had just received copies of the memos "right when he sat down"

and her behind-the-scenes staff have had to quickly process them to provide some lines of questions for her - literally on the fly.

I saw the LBN when AP announced they had copies.

would be Kieth Olbermann. Sometimes she gives out too much backstory interrupting herself a lot. I like Joy Reed almost as much as I do Rachel. I think there's a bit of a return to a strong center left press.

6. She's doing a nice job, considering she just received copies of the memos.

It's a pretty interesting interview. There are some things Comey can't answer, either because he isn't allowed to or because they relate to matters that occurred after he left the FBI. But he strikes me as truthful in his answers.

I've often thought Dr. Maddow would make an excellent professor of political science, with great lectures and fascinating seminars, and that she brings this trait to her staff.

Comment on very interesting stuff. Comey is being very careful not to reveal things that could compromise Mueller's investigation.

Unlike his usual natty self. Could be the string of so many interviews, but I wonder if the McCabe stuff is bothering him.

Rachel kept hitting dead ends. Her queries were incisive, but he kept hedging and either saying he couldn't answer or he didn't know.

I'm behind (I dvr'd this) and am just now watching Lawrence and his panel is having a good conversation at least so far...
