The most consistent criticism of Comey's book is he sunk to the president's level

The most consistent criticism of Comey's book is he sunk to the president of the United States of America's level. I can't be the only one who sees great irony in that. A subsidiary criticism is Comey doesn't always live up to the demands of leadership he claims to embody.


Back to sinking to one's level. It reminds me of when Congressman Bob Livingston said Larry Flynt lives in the gutter for discovering and publicizing his affair. Flynt said while I was in the gutter look what I found. As an aside Flynt must have lost some of his juice. In his younger days he would be all over this Michael Cohen porn star thingy.


P.S. In passing I read when Comey was a youth his family and him were held hostage at gunpoint. That had to have left a mark.

1. There really is no comparison, level-wise.

[gopiscrap]

2. I think Flynt said it best

3. Well Stormy's lawyer matches crazy when it comes to

Cohen/t-rump and it appears to be working on their ever lasting nerves. Unfortunately some have to match the swamp.

My 2 cents.

But remember that Republicans have been swamping for over 30 years.

4. Yeah but they used to hide it so much better

5. I think Trump has his level all to himself.

But to the extent anything in Comey's book seems "sunken" (I'll decide for myself when I read it), it's probably because any association with Trump is debasing. Everything he touches turns to shit. You can't work with or for him without getting yourself dirty, and apparently you can't even work against him without getting some of his shit on you.

6. The Heat got off to such a good start

I really thought they had a chance last night.

12. That team is lacking a whale or a franchise player

If Dragic was on the Big Three era Heat he would have been the fifth best player.

7. There is nothing even close to dump. Comey has integrity and morals. Dump knows

The FBI has the goods on him.

8. And to the extent it takes Droolin' Don's attention off all the criminal investigations

I'm all for it

If he wakes up after a month of furious angry revenge tweets, to be greeted by multiple subpoenas, and only then realizes he lost his chance to obstruct, no complaints here

How else can we keep him distracted?

10. Nothing is that low, with the possible exception

of another Trump or Trump consiglieri or other minion.

It's perfectly okay with me that Comey isn't pulling any punches and taking some sort of "high road." I think he's entitled to say pretty much whatever he wants (aside from imperiling the investigation, of course).

13. He said Trump has an orange hue and his eyes look like he wears goggles for tanning purposes

All true.

[Kirk Lover]

11. He hasn't sunk anywhere near the level of this piece of shit trashbag. Now I on the

other hand...is a different story.

[aikoaiko]

14. Comedy throw shade, but it's not baseless, defensive, or juvenile.

Or vulgar.

15. Oh hell no, prez lies on average 76 times a day, Comey doesnt lie, doesnt have to

He was less the truthful why he torpedoed Hillary, however.

But he is a republican, they dont tell the truth usually, but Comey is a little different than most

[JI7]

16. But he didn't sinkto that level even with the so called "petty" comments
