James Comey and Our Own Tin-Pot Despot, Donald Trump -<br />In his prepared testimony before Congress, James Comey says he spoke alone with President<br />Barack Obama on just two occasions — once simply for Obama to say a brief goodbye.<br />He added: “I am very concerned about the assault on our institutions coming from both<br />an external source — read Russia — and an internal source — the president himself.”<br />As Clapper suggested, Trump has been undermining the institutions and mores<br />that undergird our political process; whether or not his conduct was felonious, it has been profoundly subversive.<br />In contrast, he adds, “I can recall nine one-on-one conversations with President Trump in four months.”<br />These were profoundly uncomfortable and in some cases “very concerning” and highly irregular, recounts Comey, who was fired as F. B.I.
