Sorry for being worked up. It's not me, it's the nature of what's going on in the WH. Each week presses past the week before and it is tilt inducing, even for the calmest person.
No problem. I understand getting worked up. Sometimes I want to throw up. I'm mostly here to vent.
I question two (possibly unimportant) aspects of Comey's testimony. The one that led here is that he described himself as not "strong" and also as "cowardly." He may have been stressed or even afraid, but I don't think the characterizations he used are accurate. He has a dramatic flair, so maybe he just used them to tell a better story.
I may have misused the word "should." It is a problematic word. I also speculated as to what Comey might actually have been doing (as chrisV pointed out, there are many possibilities) and this was probably confusing.
