I'm joined by callers as I delve deep into the interview between James Comey and ABC News' George Stephanopoulos.

I read the transcript of the interview, much of which didn't make it on TV because of its length.

My biggest takeaways are how the Russians and the right wing media had even more to do with Trump being elected than we previously had thought.

I also believe that while James Comey was honest, he had major lapses in judgement when it came to dealing with the subject of Hillary Clinton's emails.
