Comey's Book

[H2O Man]

2. It was a strange time.

I tend to trust President Obama on most things. Obviously, he was getting conflicting opinions on how to respond from various people within the administration. I assume there was a lot of information that was available to him, that we still do not know about. So I try not to second guess what decisions were made. It would be too easy to say he could have, or should have, done more. If he did something different, such as okay the Comey op-ed that others objected to, it is possible the outcome would have been different.

Still, I realize that this is speculation on my part. The media, which wasn't taking Russian interference seriously, might have been used by republicans to say President Obama was trying to influence the election. And social media was already out of control.

In the end, I think both President Obama and James Comey are honest men. While I may not agree with them on some issues, I trust they both did the best they knew how in trying circumstances.
