Even Nixon didn't take out ads slandering John Dean, who was the most dangerous witness against him. It's disgusting. But I don't think Comey's career is ruined - he'll land on his feet quite nicely, with a good job as a well-paid lawyer with a part time teaching gig at a law school.

Life works in warp drive these days. This wasn't the case before the net. Our last big governmental investigations occurred long before the internet. The 9/11 hearings occurred when most of us hadn't ever given thought to a smartphone.
