This is the part of Comey's interview with Stephanopoulos that shocked the shit out of me:

"He strikes me as a person of above average intelligence who's tracking conversations and knows what's going on. I don't think he's medically unfit to be president."

Above average intelligence? Maybe. But you can be intelligent AND medically (psychologically/clinically) unfit. DJT is a textbook example of someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD): "A mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others".

Trump's NPD is where Comey gets his "morally unfit" impression.

Was he wasn't just some idiot that didn't know better.

That when it came to the lies and his trying to influence Comey he knew exactly he was asking him to do something he knew was wrong.

And when people didn't do as he wanted he would remember and seek revenge.

"Take a step back and stare at the two cases and the posture they were in. The Hillary Clinton email case, was public, and the counterintelligence investigations trying to figure out whether a small group of people, not Donald Trump -- we were not investigating Donald Trump -- whether this small group of Americans was coordinating anything with the Russians,” Comey said.

A small group of Americans. I wonder if that small group of Americans are in the Senate. That to me would explain a lot.

as the result of a personality disorder, but because he's, plain and simple, just a giant asshole.
