Good copy and paste; however, you should cite the source. I'm
snipping because I don't know that.

Another point: good expository writing should avoid what are called
"loaded terms" such as: "James Comey is a poisonous snake of the
highest order€¦" Any herpetologist could easily refute that statement
because Comey simply isn't a snake.

Yes, I know: it's called a metaphor and salting an essay with a few of
these is acceptable; however, the essay drags on and on with these
"horrible, evil and corrupt powers infesting our government..." etc,
etc, and so forth. My thought is to use the metaphors sparingly so
that they have greater effect; if the author fries us in the first
paragraph, we just get numb to them.

That paper is far from "brilliant" by any standard; it wouldn't even
be a very good high-school essay, at least not for an honors class in
a quality school. Give us a break.

Comey is highly suspect from the behavior that the public has observed.


No, not the "public," Frank. Mostly the knuckle-draggers and alt-right neo-fascists. A recent poll showed that only 29% of Americans approved of Trump firing him; 38% disapproved. Another one, taken four days later, showed that 36% approved of the firing and 50% disapproved.

Obama only picked sycophants to rise to top positions.


Another example of bull**** that you made up in your convoluted mind.
