'This President, because he's an amoral leader, shapes those around him.' Former FBI Director James Comey explains why he wrote in an op-ed that President Trump 'eats your soul in small bites.' ComeyTownHall
James Comey wrote in the New York Times that President Trump"eats your soul in small bites," and that's why some of his advisers make"compromises" to survive their boss."It doesn't make me happy to write that, but it's what I believe," Comey said."This President, because he's an amoral leader, shapes those around him.
Comey doesn't support arming teachers, citing the amount of training they would need to undergo to be trusted with a firearm in a classroom among children.Comey describes Barr's testimony to Congress as "misleading" "The Department of Justice has a duty of candor to the courts and to Congress. The testimony was not candid, whether it was perjurious is a much higher bar," he said.Comey hopes he'll have the chance to tell Hillary Clinton "why we made the decisions we made"
He said his actions weren't"about trying to hurt her or hurt Donald Trump or help Donald Trump," and that he hopes he can one day have the conversation he had with his wife -- who badly wanted to see a woman elected president -- with Clinton.James Comey initially said he would give Attorney General William Barr the benefit of the doubt when it came to the Mueller report, and tonight, praised him for leaving most of the report unredacted.
He then went on to explain what he thought was behind Mueller's decision not to indict President Trump for obstruction of justice."We've got lots of evidence of obstruction of justice. We're compiling it for a future prosecutor. So why engage in a really long battle over forcing him to give us answers. We'll collect this information, preserve it for the future, and not waste the time with that battle. I don't know in hindsight whether that was the right call or not.
