I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I thought there might be at least one patriot among this bunch!

(115,719 posts)And he's already spilled most of the beans anyhow. Whatever Comey's faults may be, I believe he will testify honestly. He has no reason not to.

(1,660 posts)They are refusing to say things in public that would cause the investigations to blow up in everyone's face. They will answer questions in closed session. But they don't want to jeopardize the investigations. I agree with their approach, and think they are patriotic for resisting the pressure being put on them. If they answered in public it would only screw things up.
I put my faith in Mueller and Schneidermann. I think all these witnesses are cooperating to the fullest where it will do some actual good for the nation.

(36,926 posts)Their patriotic duty would be to blow the cover on Russiagate, right now.

(1,660 posts)It would, however, turn the whole thing into an emotionally satisfying, point-scoring mud wrestle. You don't impeach a president and convict 20+ of his associates by mud wrestling. You do it by keeping silent until the articles of impeachment and the arrest warrants are ready to go.
This is neither the time nor the proper forum to blow the lid off the biggest can of worms the world has seen since the Cuban Missile Crisis. No matter how good it might feel.

Comey will be honest but no doubt tentative and technical, not emotional and blunt. Tentative and technical will have impact on scholarly types but not the public.
