(9,870 posts)20. Here's a good article on why you feel that way.
From Dartagnon posting on DailyKos:
"Nicole Serratore has written for Fridays New York Times what is probably the most acute and disturbing assessment of former FBI Director James Comeys testimony before the Senate Thursday regarding his interactions with Donald Trump.....The parallels she draws between the behavior of a sexual predator/harasser and the behavior Trump exhibited to Comey in attempting to dissuade him from expanding his investigation into Trumps Russian dealings are inescapable"
Serratore of the NYT's wrote:
As I listened to James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, tell the Senate Intelligence Committee about his personal meetings and phone calls with President Trump, I was reminded of something: the experience of a woman being harassed by her powerful, predatory boss. There was precisely that sinister air of coercion, of an employee helpless to avoid unsavory contact with an employer who is trying to grab what he wants.
On Jan. 27, Mr. Comey received a last-minute dinner invitation from the president, and then learned it would be just the two of us. On Thursday, Mr. Comey revealed that he had had to break a date with his wife in order to dine with Mr. Trump. Already, something about this setup made him uneasy.
He froze: I didnt move, speak, or change my facial expression in any way during the awkward silence that followed.

Well said. Comey's nobody to be admired. He put Trump in the White House through illegitimate means.

Comey's absurd treatment of Hillary Clinton allowed for some horrific sexist treatment of her. (eom)
