Comey strikes me as a self-righteous person who wouldn't be fun to be with.

23. I was, and still am, disgusted and angry at him over that, and yet

I could never call him scum.

The other day, at the hearing, he was asked if after time to reflect would he do anything differently, he said no. I don't understand that. So, it still disgusts me.

But I still wouldn't call him scum. It's just hard to square that huge misjudgement with his other good qualities. He did good under Bush* and is doing good now.

I've thought long and hard over this because of his actions &
reasonings (July press conference & the October letter to Congress) have truly puzzled me.

But everything isn't always black and white.

I think a lot of people think the same way. So, the "kissing posts" you speak of are not DU'ers being wishy-washy, it is just a sign of relief there is someone with law enforcement credibility standing up and speaking out against someone who is truly slimy scum and a whole lot worse.
