We knew this a long time ago.
There was a huge game inside Washington, and particularly the FBI, to see who was going to be the one to trick Trump into breaking the law. Comey was one of them. All of his actions were intended to engender a certain level of trust or comfort and get him to slip up somehow.

That’s what much of this sounds like. It’s fortunate Trump was careful enough to avoid these tricks. Probably he could sense these deviant’s anxiety to his proper election and didn’t trust them too far.
While they felt their overwhelming forces in high places would surely be able to trip him up and took big chances to get it done. Big ILLEGAL chances.
Short of taking him out early their risks left them very exposed to prosecution from anything close to a competent Justice Dept.
Just deserts might be served or might not, but I think this tip of the illicit iceberg we’re seeing might precede some very satisfying, popcorn munching indictments and convictions.
