Kind of like John Dean, who was Nixon's WH counsel and aided and abetted the Watergate coverup. He was no hero either, but he finally rolled on Nixon and was instrumental in bringing him down. This reminds me a lot of Dean's testimony, in tone if not in exact content.

We can, and should be, critical of Comey's untoward interference into the election, however, that has no impact on the importance of his revelations about Trump efforts to quash the investigations centered on his administration.

There has been an unbalanced attention to Loretta Lynch's meeting with Bill Clinton.

Good grief!

I wish he didn't because there some evidence, although not compelling, that it was the Oct 28 letter that undermines her vote lead.

Comey is a partisan hack. I don't care how many Republican meat-puppets stand up and blither about Comey's years of honorable service. He's the match that lit the Trumpster dumpster fire. He deliberately mislead the Federal government and the American people regarding Hillary Clinton in order to swing the election to Tangerine Tinyhands. And when half the nation rose up in righteous outrage, he offered up little more than a Stephen Urkel-esque 'Did I do THAT?'

I will despise him until the sun burns out...
