Not that you are overly charitable to him; just when you impute his loyalty to the FBI.<br /><br />Comey is a weasel. Trump saw right through him. Trump was right to ask for his loyalty, in that he (Trump) likely knew of his activities through ADM Rogers.

What I see rather than a simply partisan struggle here is that the Dem party has become a movement to, in Obama's words, "fundamentally transform America." That means to transform the constitution in the broadest sense--to transform the whole concept of what government is about and its relationship to the governed. Two different worldviews, if you will.

If this had been a purely partisan political matter I think cooler heads might have prevailed and the Dem leadership might have said, in effect: We're getting in over our heads, the risks now outweigh potential benefits, we need to back out of this.
