Using a ridiculous metaphor about a Red Raiders game.
Comey said "By DEFAULT, if you WANT the other team to lose, you WANT the other team to win."
Conaway: But how does that work?
Comey: It's AUTOMATIC, wanting the other team to lose means you want the other team to win.
Conaway: But I don't understand.
