A very good part of what Comey said was no he’s not mentally unstable, he’s morally unstable. Laughter is a social behavior. And shame is a social emotion. Both require empathy. Trump has no shame, he doesn't laugh, and he shows no signs of empathy. Malignant narcissism?
“I just wanted to get it done and get out of there.”James Comey or anyone who’s ever slept with trump include Stormy Daniels.
Comey says Trump is similar to a mob boss.
Trump is motivated by self enrichment, glory & attention plus revenge. He has no attachment to the truth of following laws. Trump is capable of great evil but Comey tries to do what’s right, like what? honest mistakes.
Comey is talking about his first meeting with Trump. Says no one asked about Russian interference "what to do, what comes next".
It was all about Public Relation" how to spin the story to minimize Russia's role so it wouldn't take away from Trump's victory".
Comey says his first meeting with Trump gave him flashbacks to La Cosa Nostra (American mafia). Says Trump reminded him of a mob boss, and the relationships between Trump and others in his circle reminded him of a mob family.
Comey says he soon started taking notes after each meeting with Trump because he was worried Trump would lie about what happened what was Trump said.
Comey: "In late July, the FBI got info that there was somebody a foreign policy advisor named Papadopoulos...who had been talking to someone in London about getting dirt that the Russians had on Hillary Clinton as part of their effort to influence our election.
Comey said The reason that was important was that it was long before there was any public indication that the Russians had material they were going to dump, which they started dumping in mid-June.

Talking about his dinner with Trump, Comey said it didn't take long for Trump to redirect the conversation and bring up the issue of loyalty, asking him for loyalty.
Comey says the first time Trump pressured him to pledge loyalty, he didn't answer. But Trump returned to the issue later on that night, asking him a second time. The second time was later in the conversation. Trump said it again, 'I need loyalty.
Comey says Trump talked the entire time monologue and didn't even pause to let him speak. Just rambled on about one thing after another, and lied several times during first dinner.
Stephanopolous said So you're listening. Are you thinking, "President Trump's a liar?"
Comey reply Yes,and I had, obviously, concerns about that earlier, having watched him on the campaign, that he is someone for whom the truth is not a high value.
Comey noticed during dinner Trump did not laugh at all. "I was struck by it. So struck by it, it stayed with me, that I've never seen him laugh. Not in public, not in private."
George Stephanopoulos You write that President Trump is unethical, untethered to the truth. Is Donald Trump unfit to be president?
Comey Yes I don't think he's medically unfit to be president. I think he's morally unfit to be president.
"A person who sees moral equivalence in Charlottesville, who talks & treats women like pieces of meat, who lies constantly and insists the American people believed that person's not fit to be president of USA, on moral grounds."
Comey said our president must embody respect and adhere to the values that are at the core of this country. The most important being truth. This president is not able to do that. He is morally unfit to be president."
'Well, yes, Trump is unethical but I'm getting the right SCOTUS justice or regulatory rollback' are kidding themselves. If we lose that tether to the truth, if that stops being the norm at the heart of our public life, what are we?"
Comey rhetoric "Where are we as a country? I worried sometimes people think I'm talking about politics. Not in the way we normally talk about in this country. But I hope in the most important way. Values matter. This president does not reflect the values of this country."
"People need to stand up & vote their values. We'll fight about guns. We'll fight about taxes. We'll fight about all those other things down the road. But you cannot have, as president of the United States, someone who does not reflect the values we treasure."
Comey thinks Trump's presidency is kinda like "forest fire."
"His presidency is doing, and will do, tremendous damage to our norms and our values, especially the truth. But what forest fires do is allow things to grow that never could've grown."
Sounds exactly like what they've been doing what spin to use to cover up each new find. We are so tired of having an Idiot refusing help when he doesn't even know what he doesn't know! Dangerous unstable Dictator Wannabe.
