Comey: ‘Trump Eats Your Soul in Small Bites’

Former FBI director James Comey lambasted Trump in a Wednesday op-ed for The New York Times that he billed as an attempt to explain Attorney General William Barr’s capitulation to the Oval Office. “How could Mr. Barr, a bright and accomplished lawyer, start channeling the president in using words like ‘no collusion’ and F.B.I. ‘spying’?” Comey began in the op-ed, which was published while Barr testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. “And how could Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, after the release of Mr. Mueller’s report that detailed Mr. Trump’s determined efforts to obstruct justice, give a speech quoting the president on the importance of the rule of law?”

After spending four months working alongside Trump, Comey wrote, he thought he had an answer: “Proximity to an amoral leader reveals something depressing,” he wrote. “I think that’s at least part of what we’ve seen with Bill Barr and Rod Rosenstein. Accomplished people lacking inner strength can’t resist the compromises necessary to survive Mr. Trump and that adds up to something they will never recover from. It takes character like Mr. Mattis’s to avoid the damage, because Mr. Trump eats your soul in small bites.”

1. A Soul Snacker, shouldn't be held up as a legit president.

The WORLD will be glad when he's gone.

2. Trump should be a character in "What We Do in the Shadows"

A soul vampire

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Like a character out of Harry Potter.

I've said before that Trump is a Dementor.

4. Comey: You should not talk!

We are in this situation partly due to YOU!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Don't waste your electrons shooting the messenger when the message is true.

It's an important piece and it's getting a lot of play. Forget about who wrote it; just read it.

7. I did read it.

This letter is one thing, the 2016 BS is another and I will never forget or forgive him for it. Two separate issues.

6. I know what Comey means

I've crossed paths with people over the years that I privately call 'energy vampires'; they leach your energy, goodwill, efforts and humour without giving anything back at all.

Julia Cameron in her book 'The Artists Way' calls them Crazy Makers - no agenda is important except their own. People to avoid like the plague.

8. And that's about the size of it.

Very concise description of the soulless soulsucker in the white house.

9. That's gonna leave a mark. Ouchies.

Finally, someone breaks the ice and talks back.

10. Barr is fully corrupt and Rosenstein is a coward

[JHB]

11. No, he sucks the "respectible" candy-coating off souls that were turdballs right ffrom the start

He doesn't eat their souls, he eats their sense of a need for restraint.
