So it’s a fact Mueller cannot get Trump on obstruction, ok. So, now worries about obstruction. Fine.
As to getting “stuff” on Trump, it’s not Mueller’s bag. And, besides, our president is on the straight and narrow anyway, right?
Comey book cliffnotes....yeah, that peepee tape is out there

You are incoherent.
Wait for your media matters package to find out what you think. Don't try to go it alone.

I dunno. Trump just called him "an unlawful slime ball." I gotta believe that that is never good for your life expectancy. He is from Queens so he has people who take care of bidness for him.
Even better. Just move on then. Trump is in the clear and everything is awesome.
Awesome is when you "are the most qualified presdential candidate in American history" but you are now able to watch the Price is Right every day now. That's what "moving on" really looks like.

Perhaps the only politician who comes off well in the excerpts so far is Obama. Comey says Obama’s kindness in the aftermath of the Clinton investigation nearly brought him to tears. The Post's Rucker reports:
Comey writes that Obama sat alone with him in the Oval Office in late November and told him I picked you to be FBI director because of your integrity and your ability. I want you to know that nothing — nothing — has happened in the last year to change my view.”
On the verge of tears, Comey told Obama, “Boy, were those words I needed to hear . . . . I’m just trying to do the right thing.”
“I know,” Obama said. “I know.”

My love for Obama by James Comey: Ex-FBI boss praises president for 'humor, insight and ability to connect with an audience' in contrast to blasting Trump as divorced from truth and uncaring about people's feelings
Former FBI Director James Comey's plain disdain for President Trump in his new book has a mirror image in his admiration for his predecessor, whom he lauds with compliments about his humor, leadership, and warmth.
If Comey and Trump got off on the wrong foot with an awkward conversation about uncorroborated charges Trump cavorted with prostitutes and viewed a golden shower, Comey's relations with Obama, who appointed him, remained positive.
'I was struck by the way he could see and evaluate a variety of angles on a complicated issue,' Comey says of the Columbia and Harvard Law-educated Obama.
'[He] displayed a sense of humor, insight, and an ability to connect with an audience, which I would later come to appreciate in the president even more,' he said, praising Obama's personal qualities and political skills,' he said.
'These are all qualities that are indispensable in good leaders.'
Comey added: 'He was an extraordinary listener, as good as any I've seen in leadership.'
Comey casts Obama as in command in the Oval Office, soliciting views but not necessarily favoring advice from the biggest of big wigs.
'In various meetings with the president, I watched him work hard to draw as many view points as possible into a conversation, frequently disregarding the hierarchy reflected in seating arrangements,' Comey said.
'He really did believe that he, Barack Obama, could always figure out the hardest stuff.'
He concludes: 'I had developed great respect for him as a leader and a person.'
According to Comey, Obama even cut him slack on one of the most controversial decisions of his tenure: how he handled the decision to announce the decision not to prosecute Hillary Clinton – an action many Democrats say cost Clinton the election.
'I picked you to be FBI director because of your integrity and your ability,' Obama told him in the Oval Office after the election, Comey writes.
'I want you to know that nothing – nothing – has happened in the last year to change my view.'
Comey wrote he was close to tears. 'Boy, were those words I needed to hear . . . I'm just trying to do the right thing,' he told the president, who responded: 'I know. I know.'
Comey's new book, 'A Higher Loyalty,' comes out Tuesday.
Comey offers no such praise of integrity or intellect when it comes to the man who fired him, after setting up what Comey describes as a mob-like loyalty test that Comey failed.
'I see no evidence that a lie ever caused Trump pain, or that he ever recoiled from causing another person pain, which is sad and frightening,' Comey writes.
'This president is unethical, and untethered to truth and institutional values. His leadership is transactional, ego driven, and about personal loyalty.'
He told ABC in an interview promoting the book he didn't know if unverified golden showers episode involving Trump in the Steele Dossier is true
As an example, he writes that Trump used physical space to intimidate him, whereas Obama and George W. Bush tried to make him feel at home with comfy chairs and fireside chats.
'In dozens of meetings in that space with Presidents Bush and Obama, I cannot recall ever seeing them stationed at their desk. They instead sat in an armchair by the fireplace and held meetings in a more open, casual arrangement,' Comey writes.
'That made sense to me. As hard as it is to get people to relax and open up with a president, the chances are much better in the sitting area, where we can pretend we are friends gathered around a coffee table. There, the president can try to be one of a group, and draw the others out to tell him the truth.'
He accounted Trump's set up behind his desk to a virtual throne.
'But when the president sits on a throne, protected by a large wooden obstacle, as Trump routinely did in my interactions with him, the formality of the Oval Office is magnified and the chances of getting the full truth plummet,' he writes.

Heh. Hillary hates him and Trump hates him and Loretta and McCabe both say he is a liar.
But not to worry. The guy who is outta there and does not have to deal with his crooked mass still loved him.
I am pretty sure that after Hillary was elected you would have liked to put your head in Obama's lap and have a good cry too. Can't stand in the way of love.
Or it could look like “moving on” to the court house.
