So Comey is very concerned about how Russia is influencing the way people vote correct? And yet he point blank said that both the New York Times and Wash Post had leading headlines that had zero truth to them? That is more troubling to me than Russia.
And Jesus Christ why is McCain still holding a position? What a horrible waste of 7min..
What is interesting is he said they (NYT, WaPo) were wrong, which is def not good for them, but also seemed to lead on that it was more what they were wrong about, into that nothing happened, just not they way they put it, so who knows.
Trying to be as objective as possible, given his testimony, it seems like a lot of people get their cookie, and a lot of people don't. If he is to be believed:
-He doesn't fully seem to believe that Trump himself is directly involved in COLUSION, and that might be so, though he didnt fully answer said question. I'll give that point for the Trump supporters
-He undeniably said that Russia has been meddling in the election, that is not up for debate, that is worrisome. Point for anti trump
-He does seem to be concerned about the whole Lynch thing, not good for her/Obama
The total sum of what it seems to be is that there is a lot of Russia meddling, and my guess is that there are a lot of people with and around Trump that got support for and help from the Russians, but it seems like Trump himself is either innocent or not informed of said dealings, so that'll be fun to parse through. It also seems that, from his testimony, the Russians were doing all of this to cause some chaos, and to undermine us, which IMO is kinda of the crux, they clearly think Trump is in their best interest to advance their agenda, so IDK what to make of that. It's feels like a won the battle but kinda lost the war for Trump. He didn't collude (as of now), but basically his election is best for Russia and worse for us, and they tried their damnedest to get him elected. Unless you are ok with the lengths they took to do so.
Regardless, it'll be fun to see how this all ends up, I guess a lot of people will get what they want while simultaneously getting smashed for what they didnt want happen to happen. No one will look good and in the end we all lose, again.
