My god. “Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal details of his conversations with Putin, including on at least one occasion taking possession of his interpreter’s notes and instructing him not to discuss what had transpired w/other officials” https://t.co/8WsxEJ3U7u

"I'm not putting my name on this garbage. I have children. I want a life after this. Just say a White House spokesman said..." The reality is there is no White House. Just him– and people who work in the building. No one can speak for him. No one wants to, even those paid to. https://t.co/ulsRUiSlW5

It'd be lovely if Comey had a "Come to Jesus" talk with himself. He was suckered bad and swallowed a whole lot of horseshit. We're actually lucky Trump fired him, as Mueller seems a lot more urgent, thorough and professional. Comey let his ego and emotions get in the waylast.

(though he seems to have done a good job keeping intel from Trump's team during the transition:

As one of the few stable geniuses in the world, he thought it a real long shot that he would be elected. And any help they promised was just b.s. and he was going to use the opportunity to make a great deal for when the election kabuki show was over. Leaving him with: not just another fabulous hotel but a nightly show as an anti-Hillary pundit on Fox News, with a yuge fan base.

Edit to add: the main recurring meme of the Fox News show was going to be how crooked HIllary stole the election, it would be yuge.
