very little extinction because you expect him to be covered in mud. a prig, the stain on his spotless shirt, you re going to say that s a stain on your shirt. that s the problem comey has. trump has comey s number, basically an unlikable scold who holds himself in very high moral regard. now, that may or may not be justified, but as a matter of public relations, jim comey is not coming across very well. and anything he says that doesn t stand up to minute scrutiny and he s already had a few blunders, is going to cost him in this contest between the two let me ask you, because the person who won t let comey that s the p.r. battle that you re describing. but as we ve all said, he s also a witness in the mueller probe and i imagine the person who will establish the fact pattern around these two questions of obstruction of justice or pro tension collusion with russia will be bob mueller. how central is comey s testimony around his own firing and the
