    Haven't read Comey's book and hope to avoid it. But there's a funny detail in it. Trump wants VERY MUCH to believe that Russian tampering didn't affect the outcome of the election. But he doesn't seem to give a shit that Comey's actions did.

        Because I don't imagine it'll offer insight into 1) Trump 2) leadership 3) Comey that we don't already have.

        Even funnier is how he ignores the fact that he harassed Obama during his entire presidency with claims of not being elected legitimately.

        Has anyone gamed out what would have happened if Comey had stayed silent but the Giuliani wing of the FBI leaked the Weiner laptop story instead?

        Don't know about "gaming it out". But this has been bothering me for a while, that no one remembers that part of the story - that Comey was effectively blackmailed into making the announcement, by threats to leak the story otherwise.

        On the contrary,he cares very much that the Public and the media believe that Russian tampering had no effect on his election. He knows that it did.

        Comey was placed in a very difficult position when he became aware of the Weiner e-mails. He chose what he thought was the least bad decision, based partly on the polls. But it really was a no-win for him...

        Trump, Sarah Sanders and surrogates appear to be judo-flipping the logic of effect of Comey letter on Clinton emails. And some are buying it. Mind-boggling.

        Trump wanted the FBI to officially clear him, he didn't care abt RU tampering & the outcome. Trump doesn't care abt Comey's actions in 2016. Cared very much abt his actions in 2017. What does this tell you?

        Trump knows full well how he got elected & wants YOU to believe that Russian tampering, a much larger effort than most people realize, was ineffectual. Insight into Comey's actions, btw, could be very useful. Watch Yvgeny Nikulin case. He's at the root of FBI reopening HRC case.

        In every aspect of his life assuming good faith on Trump's part leads immediately to reductio ad absurdum.

        Bush v.Gore was more maddening. Supreme rigged that one.

        Seriously. With Trump - with all the dirty play and messing with the public opinion, at last the actual votes in those 3 states appear to have been counted correctly. 2000 was stolen, plain and simple. If the FL recount had been finished and the ballots counted - pres. Al Gore.
