OP
In his great presidency, his attempts to be bipartisan were his greatest mistakes.

Our beloved president should have read Matthew 7: 15 before appointing him.

He was naïve in the face of the evil of his opponents.

Don't know that I paid a lot of attention, but Comey wasn't a big news item until October 2016. Until then ... not a prob, or at least no more than the average high-level appointment.

Kidding... he does seem taller...

When Ashcroft was in the hospital. It gave Comey an air of bipartisanship that Obama respected.
Unfortunately, not trusting Bush, doesn't equal not liking Donald.
