There is more than a foot of snow outside, I've been cooped up inside with my kids all weekend and they just declared a snow day tomorrow.
I need a Comey interview live blog to distract me.

Oh god. Election night flashbacks. I felt sick watching those and remembered how I went to bed that night and cried. I never thought I’d cry over a presidential election but that night it just happened. |

I think Comey is fooling himself if he “doesn’t know” if his email investigation into Hillary affected the election.

This is so past my bedtime, but I'm going to let this giant man talk me to sleep. My gosh he's really so tall.
I am recording it to catch up tomorrow.

I was about to say I hope 2020 brings us a return to some civility and that the 2016 election is an aberration not our new normal. Then I remembered that Trump is already running for re-election so there is no chance of that happening. So...2024. Please.

This is hard to watch so far. I’m angry to be again rehashing HRC. I get that it’s background but really, anyone watching this knows that background. |

I think he thought only he could "save" the situation with Clinton and wanted to be sure everyone knew he was independent of Lynch and the DOJ and that he was the last straight-shooter in town. And proceeded to fuck it all up.

If I had a time-machine, I'd go back in time and convince Huma to dump Weiner's ass. That fucking piece of shit.

I hadn’t considered. Gut feeling is that he wouldn’t win but I’m here to talk about it and am open to changing my mind. |

I think we saw a preview for when Comey tried to blend in with the curtains.

I am not watching so I’m following along here.
I have so many mixed feelings about him. He’s not a hero and I think if he had information to bring 45 down it would have been released by now. But he’s playing (very well) both sides even the Cheeto is pissed off

I mean, I don’t think James Comey alone lost the election for Hillary. I think that’s an oversimplification. There were so many micro trends that ended with that notorious county results map and what is the blue red divide in this country

There were so many micro trends that ended with that notorious county results map and what is the blue red divide in this country I don’t think he alone did, but I do believe that his announcement about the investigations, especially the October one, when the Trump investigation was secret, affected things. |

Nope to a Comey presidential run. I do not think he comes off looking very good to either side and do not think he would have the necessary popularity/support.

I feel for Comey on the old "showing up at a dude's place only to realize no one else was invited" trick.

H just asked me if Trump is tweeting in response to the interview. He’s not, but I don’t want to keep checking. I know a while back someone shared an account that compiles all his tweets so he doesn’t get the follow. Anyone recall what it is? Because “Donald trump fake” just gives me a bunch of Trump’s tweets about fake news.

i don’t think Comey will actually run either. After this book launch he’s going to be too busy Scrooge McDucking in his pile of money.

Actually I’d love for him to announce he’s running just to see Trump’s reaction. 😂

I don't think Comey really thought through how all this was going to make him look in retrospect. I think that he was operating - like almost everyone - in an environment where the base assumption that Clinton was going to win colored everything. So I don't think he was thinking he was going to have to defend it from the angle he now has to. I think he was thinking of how to defend it if she won and it came out later. Because we all know what the GOP would've done then. I do think it was a huge, huge blind spot and he went too far, all hopped up on being the savior of the FBI's independence and integrity. But I have a hard time fully blaming him for not foreseeing something (eta: Trump's win) that I was pretty blindsided by. That said, he did have insight into Trump/Russia in 2016 that I did not so... |
