Metaphor in Context
He also shared some thoughts about James Comey--if, by thoughts, you mean the products of the dying sparks of sputtering synapses.
Comey. Comey has proven to be a liar and a leaker. Proven. He tries to act like a choir boy. What he did with Hillary Clinton is outrageous. He saved her life, because all of those charges--I call it "Comey one, two, and three," all of those charges and Comey won, she was guilty of. She should have been taken out of the campaign and been on trial. He didn't do that. He saved her life. But here's the way you look at Comey. Everybody hated Comey, and Comey--by the way, the FBI, say what you want, go back to look at the day around Hillary--the FBI was in turmoil. Everybody hated Comey. The Democrats wanted him fired. Everybody wanted him out. You look at what Schumer said about him, you look at what everybody said. As soon as I fired him they said, "oh, he's wonderful--he's wonderful, how could you do that."It's true. I was there. HRC fell into the Manchester River and Comey leaped in and pulled her out, revealing his true identity as Superman.
