B.  Comey should hope that there were tapes.  He outed Loretta Lynch for ordering him to cover on the Clinton email "matter".  No one asked him about that, he volunteered that information.  I feel like the "threat" of tapes from his conversations with the Pres. may have inspired that forthcoming of information.

C.  Trump hasn't had to "backtrack" a word, in relation to the Russia non-issue.

D.  Uh, most people like Comey's professional demeanor.  What he says and said is still up for debate.

E.  What???

A. Why would Comey lie?  His years of professionalism versus Trump? It's a no-brainer that Comey went in there to tell the truth.  Not "his version".  He had the notes.  All anyone had to do was compare them to his testimony.

B. Comey said as much.  He knew he was telling the truth and, in his own words, was afraid the POTUS would not.  How that isn't scary to you I don't understand.  You can "feel" anyway you like.  Comey was as honest as Trump is not.

C. Maybe backtrack is the wrong word.  Trump throws shit out constantly and never backs it up.  Makes accusations, shares conspiracies, claims he has proof...he just talks out his arse and then when it's shown that what he was doing his supporters say "Well, he didn't lie...he just implied and then continued to hedge untol he had to tell the truth."

D. See A.

E. Trump's supporters will refuse to see anything wrong about his behavior.  That's why campaigning against him is fruitless.  They don't believe what they see and hear...they believe what  they "know".  Sadly enough people bought the snake oil the last time.  Hopefully those numbers will continue to dwindle as he continues to make a mockery of the office.

(non) supporters are those who insist they didn't want to vote for him or claim they didn't vote for him but refuse to ackowledge any of the batshit crazy stuff he says and does on a regular basis.

It's one thing to be non-pc...it's another to have the POTUS tweet name-calling about members of congress for example.

He's a loon...and people love him because they can't admit they were hoodwinked.
