2000s. He came and spoke to our staff when he was US Attorney for the Eastern District.

I thought he was a straight shooter then and the hospital room confrontation with Gonzales and Card bolstered my opinion of him.

Then came the July press conference and subsequently the October letter, both which shattered his good guy image for me.

There was also the post-election briefing of Congress persons from which several reps emerged fuming with smoke coming from their ears as they were so upset. They couldn't share it because he made sure the info was classified but it had to be very damming of trump for them to react so strongly. It seem to me at the time that Comey was rubbing their faces in info that would have sunk trump — almost a "na-na-na-na-na see what I did" kind of thing.

I hope I'm wrong and there is still some hope for him.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
