In an interview with David Remnick, James Comey dodges a question about Rudy joining Trumps team: I dont know what to make of it....Theres no doubt hes a smart and skilled attorney.
Remnick asks Comey why he didnt investigate Trumps businesses when Comey was a US attorney in NY. Comey did not really have an answer.
Comey says he doesnt know whether Trump has an FBI file, adds: And if I knew I wouldnt tell you.
Comey says hes voting next election. He adds that the last time he thought of myself as a Republican was 2012, says hes not going to be a Democrat, and his political affiliation is a neither.
Asked about @NateSilver538s claim that the Comey letter decided the election, Comey says I hope thats not true. He adds that he hopes another academic study is released contradicting Silver.
Comey says he wishes Anthony Weiner had never been born.
Comey says his wife asked him why he told @jaketapper he didnt dislike Trump. Comey says he actually feels sorry for Trump because he has an emptiness inside of him and a need for affirmation Ive never seen in an adult.
There it is: Comey says wed probably be better off if Hillary Clinton was president, adds that the country bears responsibility for poor presidential choices.

Off with Clinton as president.
Comey said something like "i can't answer that" in response to question about whether we would be better off with Clinton as president.

(13,305 posts)2. Yeah, sorry I'm not buying this halo polishing tour of Comey's...
Dude is still a self-important asshole who bears as much if not more blame than anyone else for Trump.
Just like with the sudden love affair with Amazon/Bezos on this place, there are limits to my "enemy of my enemy is my friend".
