Excerpts: "I hear many people now saying that theyve always felt that James Comey is a man of unquestioned integrity, honesty, and loyalty to the nation and the constitution. All that may be true. But if you convince yourself that your own opinion is more important than any policy, precedent, or peer, then the question is whether the truth as you see it is any different from the truth as Donald Trump sees it. Or, perhaps more simply, whether you are a man of high integrity and absolutely terrible judgment.
"Let some believe that he is the man of impeccable virtue who will save us all from the arrogant egomania of Donald Trump. I have a hard time forgetting the fact that he is the arrogant egomaniac who gave us all Donald Trump. What is creepy is that they actually have something terrifying in common. Both were placed in positions of extraordinary power, and both granted even more extraordinary latitude in the wielding of that power. Both seem to believe that when push comes to shove, decades of policy, principle, and precedent governing actions can and should be tossed aside, because they both believe one thing.
"I alone can fix it."
