The first important part of James Comey’s testimony was that he cast some doubt on reports that there was widespread communication between the Russians and the Trump campaign. That was the suspicion that set off this whole chain of events and the possibility that could have quickly brought about impeachment proceedings.
The second important implication of the hearings is that as far as we know, Donald Trump has not performed any criminal act that would merit removing him from office.
-------- The third important lesson of the hearing is that Donald Trump is characterologically at war with the norms and practices of good government. Comey emerged as a superb institutionalist, a man who believes we are a nation of laws. Trump emerged as a tribalist and a clannist, who simply cannot understand the way modern government works.
Trump is also plagued with a self-destructive form of selfishness. He is consumed by a hunger for affirmation, but, demented by his own obsessions, he can’t think more than one step ahead.

Are we making up new words to justify our hatred, David?
Trump can’t think more than one step ahead????
While I’ve seen many incredibly stupid things stated, this one takes the cake.
Once again, Mr. Brooks misunderestimates the Covfefe.
Brooks wrote one decent book — “Bobos in Paradise” — and has been making a fool of himself ever since.
Actually, “Bobos” is a pretty good self-diagnosis of Brooks’ own arrogance and elitism.
Howie Kurtz still claims there is no media bias. LOL

Help me with that Dave, I do not understand how made up charges have lead us to a Special Prosecutor investigation 100 days into the Presidents job, when there has been no indication of a crime or a criminal
"The best that I can remember, sir -- and it's getting worse by the minute, seems like -- ``Monica was never -- '' ``You were always there when Monica was there. We were never really alone.'' Those two stick in my mind as two statements he made."
-- Betty Currie, President Clinton's personal secretary, in her grand jury testimony. Remember that? There's real obstruction for you. And despite having been impeached on charges of obstruction of justice and perjury, William Jefferson Clinton remains the icon of the Democratic party, held in the highest esteem by liberals and the mainstream media. So, liberals, spare us your righteous indignation. You're embarrassing yourself.
Whoops, were you wanting to kick that football? Sucker.
...Donald Trump is characterologically at war with the norms and practices of good government.
It is also one I strongly disagree with.
“he cast some doubt on reports that there was widespread communication between the Russians and the Trump campaign.”
Translation-we were caught lying.
Yep. This is David Brooke's self-portrait and nothing more.
And that is a big reason why he won. And the establishment STILL does not understand that, and never will even if they are eventually sent packing.
They still act like the MSM is the source of all information for the lemmings.
It isn’t. They just don’t really get it, or don’t want to.
How did he arrive at that conclusion? Does Trump not wear an appropriately creased trouser? That seemed to be his primary reason for swooning over Obama.
David Brock...a sad pathetic excuse for a human
It fascinates me that all these supposedly brilliant thinkers in the Media can't seem to hear the angry buzzing from the agitated Trump beehive that they've been busily poking since the election...
60 million Trump bees, and they think they aren't going to get stung...
