Noah: I Love that Comey Had to Treat Trump Like a Bear He’s Come Across in the Wild

‘Here’s another part which may actually be my favorite of all’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
NOAH: "Here's another part which may actually be my favorite of all. This is from Comey's notes, which sound like a diary entry I have to say. It says, "The president began by asking me whether I wanted to stay on as F.B.I. Director. A few moments later, the the president said 'I need loyalty. I expect loyalty.' I didn't move, speak or change my facial expression in any way during the awkward silence that followed. We simply looked at each other in silence." I love it. I love that Comey basically has to treat Trump like he's a bear he came across in the wild. "If I just stay still, maybe he'll leave me alone." Can you just imagine that scene, just the two of them having dinner alone staring each other in the eye in total silence. Because you know in that moment, Comey was thinking, "Man, this is a tragic moment of serious ethical failure." And Trump was thinking, "Oh, boy, I think we're gonna kiss."
