Comey admitting election predictions may have influenced his Hillary emails decisions--he doesn't really know--is exactly the sort of honest self-assessment we should want in leaders. Of course, this means it'll be misunderstood, taken out of context, and demagogued to hell. 1/x

Leaders who recognize their own fallibility and interrogate past decisions will make better decisions in the future. But many Americans want unwavering certainty. Like a child with a parent, they're not sure what to do and find comfort believing that someone else does. 6/x

Constant uncertainty is a terrible trait in leaders. But unexamined certainty is bad too. No matter what else you think of Comey, it's good he asked himself "Why did I do that?" and admitted subconscious/non-objective factors may have played a role. Everyone should do that. (END)
