When the Trump administration sent Rudy Giuliani out to defend them, they weren't sending their best https://t.co/ieOhmEHu00

sometimes the juvenile nature of replies on Twitter can be fun; some much needed humor in reply to Rudy's strange tweet

Giuliani's history raises

Giuliani's history raises legal questions as he takes on Trump defense

The former New York City mayor and federal prosecutor may be a witness in the Russia probe, and has other entanglements that could complicate his new role.

Important read - Trump and Rudy had a tortured time during the primaries. Then Trump wouldn’t give Rudy the one thing he wanted, the State Department. https://t.co/shSXlLyWzP

I take your point that Comey is not consistent regarding when he did and did not get approval for his actions.
It does not dismiss the discrepancy to observe that the accounts of his meetings with Trump present him as being thrust into a position he had never been in before. The head of the FBI usually doesn't experience such isolation in the face of authority. The account reads like an undercover cop trying to survive a meeting with a crime boss.

One rx to the Graham piece you linked to, moat, comes from reading this part of the article:

Trump has repeatedly assailed Comey as a leaker and liar. The memos only offer Comey’s side of the story, so there’s no way to firmly adjudicate the latter claim based on the documents alone. As for the former, Trump comes across as not just amenable to but encouraging of leaks. Comey records several occasions where Trump effectively asked Comey to leak to the press that he, Trump, was not personally under investigation. After a March 30, 2017, meeting, Comey wrote this:

Comey had already informed Trump that any such move would have to be cleared through the Justice Department, so the president’s request—“get [it] out”—reads as a request for a leak. The following month, Trump again brought up the issue, and Comey deflected by insisting that any announcement would have to go through the acting attorney general:

So if I am understanding the facts correctly, Comey had no issue whatever with telling Trump that he could not share with the press that Trump was not personally under investigation without clearing this with his superior (he was not evidently referring to God in this case). He had to follow protocol.

But when it came to the 11 days before the election announcement, well...it was not necessary for that decision to be one he cleared with the higher-ups.

More ways in which the man's mind seems to work in some curious ways.

Meanwhile, for any who think we've yet reached Comey saturation, as I write his new book, out all of three days, has 302 amazon reader reviews, with a weighted rating of 4.7 out of 5.

Trump based on his relatively recent Twitter eruptions has an issue with Comey raking in boatloads of money from book sales (not that Comey likely needs it: he was General Counsel and Senior VP for Lockheed Martin and served as General Counsel for the hedge fund Bridgewater Associates. Probably not a major problem putting the 5 kids through college and paying off the legal bills.). The issue Trump has is that only Trump is supposed to be raking in boatloads of money based on high profile public visibility in positions of high public trust.
