"Scorching motion?" Good god, does everything need to be hyped up to eleven?

Maybe he shouldn't have handed trump the election and then acted surprised at all of the mess

I have similar feelings toward Comey that I do to RBG. They both caused a world of problems without really meaning to.

RBG was such a smart woman and a complete moron for what she did... She gave her seat to the most misogynistic piece of shit of all time, all because of hubris.

He helped set us on one of the worst possible futures. It's hard to feel bad for him. That no one else would be caught in a wrongful lawsuit is probably the only reason I care.

You know he released that information because the Republicans were about to leak it?

Bad call, but he was backed into a corner.

This is interesting... but I'm not sure if the presence of a leak backs him into a corner. He could even refuse to confirm it's true once it leaks, which probably would have been the professional way to handle it.
