“Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.) told reporters Friday his opinion of Comey has changed in light of the new excerpts, saying they reveal a “personal vendetta against the president.””
If Comey’s book is flipping NeverTrumpers to Trump’s side, I’d say Comey isn’t getting what he hoped for.
I agree. The swipe he took at Loretta Lynch, hinting at dirt, is also not sitting well. I can just imagine the slight raising of a certain eyebrow in the Zero household as motions are made to distance themselves.
Maybe Angus King is welcoming Comey over to King's side, rather than being critical. IOW, King used to think Comey was against Hillary, but now that he sees what Comey is really about, he's relieved.
Just under a year ago I called King's office. Asked one question and made one "demand." Also asked for a response in writing. The question was "What crime is Mueller investigating?" The demand was that he apologize for his treatment of Jeff Sessions in a hearing. King was piling on, and he knows better, in accusing Sessions of abusing the response of executive privilege when responding to questions about specific interactions with President Trump.
I got some totally unresponsive form letter a couple months later.
Senator King appears on Jake Tapper Comedy Hour on CNN this morning. Maybe Tapper brings up the Comey subject. I can't think of any reason Jake Tapper would invite King to appear, other than to beat on Trump.
Payback is my favorite bitch.
