James Comey writes a book...

I don't think Comey wrote a book full of lies out of bitterness of being fired, and when he describes an administration based on loyalty and egomania and Trump being unethical and untethered to the truth, yeah that sounds about right to me. He only cares about the public spin of Russian meddling, ok, but what can really shock me anymore.

What I found strange is that he was worried Melania might believe the pee tape story and hence he wants that specific one investigated so it can be proven false.
- Is it just me, or does that sound like that's the only Steele allegation Trump knows to be actually untrue?

Rachel Maddow is reading a page right now on my tv.  Must be what you heard.

Too chatty, but fascinating and scary. The section she read concerned the moment the FBI informed Trump of the Steele Dossier. Trump and Priebus immediately began brainstorming how to spin it before the press. Clapper interrupted to suggest the CIA had only presented facts, its job. Spin was not their job. 

Trump and Priebus ignored him--and the line between intel and politics.

I think Trump supporters do not understand or care about that line. Many "independents" won't see what the big deal is.

By the way, I watched two hours of Fox last night. The dirt heaped on Comey, Rosenstein and Mueller is scarry; reminds me of old newsreels of Nazi judges shrilly ranting at defendants accused of treason. A completely inverted world over there, with Trump defending the rule of law against defenders of the swamp.
