Summary
James Comey is telling his story. Comey has a LOT of problems. The argument could be made that he is the reason that Hillary Clinton lost the presidency in 2016. BUT, he's certainly more believable than Donald Trump. We break down his interview with ABC and what it means to the bigger picture.
We're joined by Addy Baird from ThinkProgress, Jonathan Allen from NBC News and Ella Nilsen from Vox!
