was a prime example of grooming behavior, the same adopted by child molesters, rapists, wife beaters, etc. Essentially, Trump started by reassuring Comey repeatedly that he was doing a great job hoping to massage Comey's ego and lowering his inhibitions once the big "I hope you can let this go" phrase was uttered.
