* AlternateCharacterInterpretation:
** Was Jim Comey right to re-open the investigation into Hilary Clinton's e-mails or was it a misguided attempt to appear impartial?
** Was Rod Rosenstein a smug coward who threw Comey under the bus to save his own skin or was he just a pawn of the Trump administration?

* IronWoobie: Comey after being fired from the FBI. He retains his composure just long enough to give a dignified goodbye to his agents and then has an understated but no less poignant breakdown in his wife's arms once he returns home.

But when he tearfully reveals how Trump wants him to take the fall for the decision to fire Comey, even though it was Trump's idea, you can't help but feel just a bit sorry for him.
