Comey is worried the media wont save him.
Try to think about how safe people like him felt less than a decade ago. They had full control of the deep state, and doing virtually anything they wanted, not just corruption, but weaponizing their powers for politics, and not only did it all fly, no one ever dared to report on it happening.
They were safe, cozy, and happy. World at their fingertips. Butts getting kissed at cocktail parties. Book deals. World leaders begging them for backdoor communications so they could send them gifts and get access to (corrupt) power.
Now, they lost power, and everything is crumbling down around them.
Their last harbor of hope was to hide in the media, while a few of the usual suspects are stick going to be their lackey, they can’t even strong-arm social media to censor everything.
So what is Comey’s hail-mary-pass? Swifties. Teenage girls and their moms are going to save him. In his own mind, Taylor’s army will make Trump pay.
Wow.
Or he’s setting up his insanity defense.
