Former FBI Director James Comey joins Tim Miller to discuss the choices he made in 2016, the DOJ's self-sabotaging avoidance of the media, and how to maintain your integrity and principles in the face of a lying, lawless bastard.
Tim Miller did what I thought was very difficult, if not impossible: talking about all the questions I'd want to ask Comey about his mentioning of Clinton just before the election. And he did it truthfully, and didn't pull his punches. He got so much out of the man, and was charming, and meaningful throughout. Both men were!
You know someone described the Trump Trial as the series finale where characters from previous seasons pop back up like Hope Hicks and Madeleine Westerhout . . . And I thought to myself we only need James Comey to make an appearance . . . And look here he is
I found myself listening to Comey talk about how Garland and others should have handled the media during these investigations thinking "The audacity of this effing guy..."
Tough for Comey to interview as so many are angry with him specifically. You did a great interview Tim. Appreciate it. Let us all recognize that we have one thing to tackle this November and that is keeping tfg out of office. Let’s use every opportunity possible.
Nikki reminds me of one of those human windsocks you see outside used car lots. Flailing around, smiling and pandering to gullible chumps. But go inside the dealership, and nobody's there who actually wants to help you. For too long, her act has been, basically, insulting. To the voters, to citizens. To any ordinary person simply trying to make sense of this year's momentous Pennant. We need more of the straight and upright, and a lot less moral betrayal.
I was so ready to be screaming while listening to Comey. At the end, I was more sad that millions voted for Trump in 2016, even with all the Hillary hate. What he said back then was plenty to see him as unfit, and people still went along. Tim certainly did an excellent job interviewing and has taken the daily pod to the next level of excellence in my opinion.
You may have thought that Costello on the stand had "...an Italian last name" because of the infamous NYC Frank Costello mafiosi, who was born Francesco Castiglia in the Calabria region of Italy.
"Costello" is actually an Irish name, pronounced "Coss-tell-oh" the anglicization of the Gaelic-version.
My eyes skipped right over JAMES COMEY and landed with true delight on Ben. When Tim introduced Comey, my stomach hit the floor. IMO, he remains as delusional ("protect public faith and confidence") as any MAGA. Zero self reflection and accountability there.
Sorry Tim, had to skip ahead to Ben Wittes. After reading in Copeland’s book of Comey’s Orwellian role as chief enforcer of Ray Dalio’s “radical transparency” at Bridgewater, he lost all credibility.
But if James Comey had followed guidelines he should only have said that the investigation into Hilary’s personal email server had been closed for lack of evidence. Nothing else; anything more was hubris. He clearly contributed to Hilary’s loss. And BTW I recall reading that at the time, the official server she should have been on was hacked.

Someone described the Trump Trial as the series finale where characters from other seasons popped up like Hope Hicks & Madeleine Westerhout.
I thought to myself that it's missing a James Comey cameo. . . . Now here he is.

“Trumpettes” PERFECT! So much more appropriate than most names for the cultists!

Ben,
You may have thought that Costello on the stand had "...an Italian last name" because of the infamous NYC Frank Costello mafiosi, who was born Francesco Castiglia in the Calabria region of Italy.
"Costello" is actually an Irish name, pronounced "Coss-tell-oh" the anglicization of the Gaelic-version.
Costello's birth name was Castiglia. He went by Costello as a concession to the (then) dominance of Irish-American gangsters.

Tim, I wish you would have asked if Comey's remaining "comfortable" with his decision is a credible standard.
Similar to: Impaired people make impaired judgements and have impaired memories of outcomes.
He was 100%, all in, for discrediting Hillary. Dude, I don't think you even know how your OWN brain 'works'.

Tim, I thank you and applaud you for making interviews like this happen. Keep up the good work.
