While the James Comey interview was playing on ABC, Steve Hilton was literally conducting a mock trial of James Comey. The trail was mostly a replay of what has been shown on Fox News for months. But there was a difference. This time there were two attorneys who were arguing on behalf of Comey.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/video\/news\/the-trial-of-james-comey-what-e2-80-99s-next\/vi-AAvVqSN<\/a><\/p>\n

If you were hoping to see a devastating case for the conviction of James Comey, you were probably disappointed. But the results were significant. No one, including the people arguing to defend Comey, could say that he did the right thing. Even Democrats don\u2019t argue that Comey did the right thing. Instead his defenders argued that his actions did not rise to the level of criminality and in doing so they made a stunning argument. Comey is not guilty of a crime because he was doing what Loretta Lynch and Barack Obama wanted him to do.<\/p>\n

That is the real problem with the Comey story. If he convinces people that he truly is the self-righteous choir boy he pretends to be, then the fickle finger of fate points directly at Loretta Lynch and Barack Obama. While Comey clearly hates Trump, he didn\u2019t accuse Trump of doing anything wrong. While he praised Obama, his praise was a strong condemnation. This is because clearly Comey was ready, willing and able to do anything Obama wanted, but he openly resisted direction from Donald Trump. Since what Comey did was indisputably wrong, this places the blame on Obama.<\/p>\n

Comey also destroys his own credibility during a meeting with Dick Cheney:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/video\/news\/the-trial-of-james-comey-what-e2-80-99s-next\/vi-AAvVqSN<\/a><\/p>\n

There was a dispute regarding the legality of the surveillance program. Comey felt that only the opinion of \u201cthe very smart lawyers working for me<\/em><\/strong>\u201d mattered. When Cheney told him: \u201cthousands of people are going to die because of what you (\u201cComey\u201d) are doing\u201d <\/em><\/strong>Comey said he felt bad but he never considered changing his opinion. The program developed by\u00a0President Bush had bi-partisan support because it was\u00a0used solely to spy on suspected terrorists.\u00a0\u00a0Under President Obama that program was used to spy on political opponents.\u00a0 Comey was a willing participant in abuse of this program.\u00a0If Comey wanted to do the right thing, he should have offered Cheney suggestions on how to do this legally. If he wanted to do the right thing he should stood up to the abuse of power by Obama.\u00a0 Why didn’t Saint Comey stand up to Barack Obama?<\/p>\n

I doubt that this interview will play well with anyone. Liberals will be very disappointed that Comey has no bombshell news about Donald Trump.\u00a0 Conservatives will be disgusted with the self-righteous sanctimonious bitching by a, thankfully, former FBI Director who didn’t like the President’s personality.<\/p>\n

ABC\u2019s 5 takeaways by Meghan Keneally are very bad, but not for Donald Trump:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/political-bombshells-james-comeys-exclusive-interview-abc-news\/story?id=54489527<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Rosenstein viewed as \u201cdishonorable.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Sessions seen as \u201covermatched.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Obama\u2019s comments about Clinton\u2019s emails were \u201cinappropriate.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Comey would be fine with Kelly quitting now<\/li>\n
  5. Talk of Obstruction of Justice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Comey doesn\u2019t even accuse Trump of obstruction he merely said this could possibly be viewed as obstruction. Perhaps the best description of this interview was by Meghan Keneally on her twitter account:<\/p>\n

    \u201cWatching an interview go off the rails in real time.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Seems accurate. Once liberals get done rejoicing at the way Comey trashed Trump they will realize this interview was a total disaster. He shredded his own credibility, he never laid a glove on Trump and in his haste to make himself look good he threw Obama, Lynch and Rosenstein under the bus.<\/p>\n
