John Podesta, Hillary’s former campaign manager and the target of one of the most devastating/embarrassing political email leaks of all time, sat down with Politico for a one-hour interview which served primarily to confirm that he’s still a sore loser who has simply not come to terms with the fact that he backed a flawed candidate in 2016.
One of the many topics covered was Trump’s recent firing of Jim Comey. On this issue, Podesta seems to be in the ‘Comey was completely incompetent but Trump shouldn’t have fired him’ camp…which is a position that seemingly only makes sense to John Podesta and Maxine Waters. Per Politico:
‘It’s laughable, really laughable that Donald Trump would fire Jim Comey because of his interference which damaged Hillary Clinton. I mean, it was laughable from the very beginning,’ Podesta says. ‘Just a complete misreading of reality.’
Like Clinton, Podesta remains adamant that Comey’s late intervention in last year’s campaign – he reopened the closed probe of Clinton’s private email server just 11 days before the voting – likely cost her the presidency. But he thinks Trump mistook their criticism of Comey for a blank check to fire the director amid the current Trump-related probe. ‘I still think what Jim Comey did last fall was wrong,’ Podesta says, ‘but he shouldn’t have been fired, given the circumstances that he was leading this investigation.’
