"The Trump Show," which has produced two seasons' worth of epic cliffhangers and plot twists, is getting a competitor: "The Comey Show," which is scheduled to run for at least five weeks, and will needle and gall President Trump amid global, legal and political crises.
Why it matters: In both his prime-time interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos and an interview with USA Today, fired FBI Director James Comey argued that Trump is "morally unfit to be president," making it clear that, like a skilled political candidate, he'll be repeating a specific message with fervor and discipline on a coast-to-coast book tour that includes a saturation schedule of interviews and audience events.
In his interview with ABC, fired Comey called President Trump a "person who sees moral equivalence in Charlottesville, who talks about and treats women like they're pieces of meat, who lies constantly."
Comey used almost identical wording in the interview in with USA Today, calling Trump "someone who is able to see moral equivalence in Charlottesville or to speak and treat women like they're pieces of meat and to lie constantly."
Adding to the campaign feel, Comey told ABC that Americans need to vote Trump out: "I think impeaching and removing Donald Trump from office would let the American people off the hook ... People in this country need to stand up and go to the voting booth and vote their values."

(17,090 posts)and another almost 7 million voters opted for somebody besides tripe.
There is an investigation going on and somebody named Robert Mueller is gathering evidence to determine collusion by russia and repk. in the 2016 general election.
How does comey so conveniently forget that tripe didn't win the election? That at least 3 states might have been hacked? And how does he say with a straight face that tripe in the White House is on the voters?
I had been on the fence about trusting comey,but this comment lost me for sure.
