In reply to the discussion: Smh at how many Democrats can't stop themselves from dragging Comey over Hillary email slights [View all]mtnsnake
(22,236 posts)15. I couldn't agree more with you.
One of the most notable pundits falling for the "political trap" you mentioned is David Gregory. This morning he was all over James Comey's interview saying, "I don't like Comey's interview" and going on to whine about what Comey did before the election instead.
Instead of focusing on the good that can come out of Comey's interview and book, Gregory was blasting him for what he did in the past, implying that Comey's motives are political. Gregory went on and on in a manner that discredits Comey's current accusations about Trump. That is not good.

No matter how you feel it makes no sense to degrade the man who is degrading RUMP.

Comey isn't going to bring tRump down. The trap is the opposite of which you state.

No doubt, but does that mean we should now destroy the #1 witness to tRump's crimes

Yes, it's too much to expect... blind hatred, tho in this case understandable, diminishes judgment.
