If the Comey letter was Tupac’s “Hit ’Em Up,” then the Senate testimony was the Wendy Williams interview where he spilled hot tea all over Trump’s lap. I thought it was bad enough that the letter made it clear that Trump would probably be under investigation, and made more than one reference to the president’s penchant for “hookers” (Comey’s words, not mine), but the in-person testimony was more damning. But that was nothing compared with what Comey said Thursday during his nearly three hours of public testimony in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee, covering his firing, the Russian hack of the 2016 election and potential obstruction of justice. When Comey released his written statement Wednesday, I commented on MSNBC that it read like the most intense HR complaint letter I’d ever heard.
America is stuck with the most Horrible Boss ever, and rather than protect us, the Republicans in the Senate are the worst human resources officers known to mankind. It was about what a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad boss Donald Trump is. The biggest reveal in the testimony Thursday of former FBI Director James Comey wasn’t about Russia it wasn’t about Michael Flynn, or even electoral hacking.
