    Remember when Republicans loved James Comey?

    What changed?

    They could have done all of those things and gotten the story right and still have the source not want to talk again today. Of course, you love anonymous sources because it gives you the opportunity to make up shit about them.

    I had a mayor who became "unavailable" every time I wanted to ask him about one specific debacle (the building of a new power plant).

    But he'd damn sure talk to me if it came up in a City Council meeting. Especially if the reason it came up made him look bad.

    Did he let you quote him by name, or was he a source familiar with the mayor's thinking?

    I didn't use anonymous sources.

    She wants to call her mother while she's out? Put the phone away, Mrs. Whitman. Put it away.

    That said, it is funny how old people turn their cell phones off all the time.

    Comey said the exact opposite.

    The only request he made was that he try to let Flynn of the hook.

    It depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is, right?

    He was very clear. It was in Burr's opening line of questioning.
