AS George Will Said, 'liberals are shocked to discover that there is another side to every story.'

Because people tend to be liberal when young and grow more conservative with age, it can be argued that liberalism appeals to the less mature. Being unable to see that there is another side to the story is a sign of immaturity (or narcissistic personality disorder).  Conservatives have their faults (becoming overly rigid with age might be one of them) but liberals display emotional immaturity far more.  I think it's a characteristic of liberalism.  The immature child believes money comes from some vague unlimited source (their parent's teller machine) and if you don't mature out of that mindset, you become a middle aged liberal who believes money spent on government programs has some vague unlimited source. They never make the concrete connection between finite human work hours and wealth creation. That you cannot manufacture wealth out of nothing, out of redistributing money taken from one and given to another. It takes maturity to understand that concept. Liberals never seem to get there.

To me, it seems more like Comey is the one most likely to lie.  I don't see Trump as someone who has any motivation to lie.

The most I have ever found with Trump is he might exaggerate, or get the exact numbers wrong, but the core of his point is true.  Like any of us he may misspeak or have an imperfect memory. And there can be various interpretations of fact, so your interpretation can be a bit different from someone else's.  But when you count these sorts of things, every single one of us lies, but not with intent.  Something I've noticed about the media and the liberals is that they'll take something like that and portray it as a deliberate malicious lie.  I suppose conservatives have been known to do that too but I've noticed it more from the left lately in this election cycle. It's probably human nature to use any small inaccuracy in what your enemy says to call them a liar. And all of us say things with small inaccuracies probably every day.  I like to reserve the accusation of liar to statements that are entirely patently false and made with deliberation to deceive.  I have not heard anything like that out of Trump.

Yep, it was VERY clear that Comey had a preconceived expectation that Trump would lie.

It's both, actually.

Yeah I guess there are some things I just don't relate to, like husbands doing their own laundry.  I grew up where that was the wife's territory, Dad never messed with the washing, and I've done all the washing in my marriage even when I worked full time so when my daughter says she and her husband do their laundry completely separately, I have a real hard time understanding why on earth they do it that way.  But that's when I respond, "I don't understand why on earth you do it that way."  When I give them the stupid blank look it's usually because I have been around that block so much it's old news, so old I don't even want to comment on it and cannot even fake surprise or wonder that you've figured that out or had that adventure as if your generation is the first who ever thought of it. Or else I simply didn't hear what you said and don't feel like saying "Huh?" yet again.

Here's where he lost me.

She seems like a typical, unfocused Millennial "American" kid who has been brainwashed by our school system, and media to be a Social Justice Warrior (subversive communist) above all else.   

That's what's so disturbing.  But also a kid who wanted to join the military, I think she must have some of the female macho thing going on there, and/or liked the benefits. Also a deep interest in other cultures. My own daughter studied Farsi. Nothing wrong with enjoying the middle eastern cultures (aside from the nutty jihadism).  Btw one of the most offensive things about her is the snarky "Have you even met an Iranian" to Trump.  Obviously she has, and she is assuming none of us on the Trump side ever has met anyone from the middle east, I guess because we are all deplorable, racist, zenophobic, homophobic hillbillies who never left the farm. What that comment told me loud and clear is that it is SHE not Trump who has never met an Iranian who was tortured under the current regime. Apparently the Iranians she knows are the counterpart to herself: young idiots watching too much social media.

I have met some youth that have changed my mine in some ways.  However, many of them are Indian, or Asian, and a lot of their families have moved into my area to work in the IT, financial, pharmaceutical, and other technical industries in the region.  Many are hyper focused on engineering, math, and technology.  They really don't care much for history, and English, but the get all A's, in their core subjects.   

The thing about her is she had posted comments about supporting Edward Snowden as well as a lot of hatred toward Trump on social media.  These should be red flags that she may be tempted to compromise security, but then most of that was after she had already been vetted and hired. She has a patriotic record with the military and no record of any wrongdoing prior to this.

Several things here convince me that she is very naive.  I would say "stupid" but likely she has a very high IQ, but she did a lot of stupid things. First, thinking she could get away with printing out the reports. Even I know how to put spyware on machines to record every single thing you do. If the NSA is NOT 100% monitoring it's employees and contractors I would be very surprised and disappointed, and I would be very disappointed in an employee or contractor of theirs not assuming they were being monitored in this way. (Maybe it's one of those things a young person hasn't BTDT yet.)

Secondly, she spilled her guts without legal representation. WTF?? She confessed everything right off the bat. Either deep naivete, stupidity, unfamiliarity with the system, or it's a deliberate mission for some unimaginable reason. OR, just believing the rules don't apply to her, being another spoiled, misinformed millennial who consumed so much CNN that she truly thinks the whole world agrees with her that Trump is illegitimate and she would be a hero for trying to bring him down.  She's half right about that - no doubt the left WILL completely lionize her for this. But trust me there are still enough FBI and NSA folks around on the other side to do her in.  I hope they give her the max and send a clear message to the rest of the 4 million people with top secret clearances.

It is good to see such a secure intelligence gathering agency like the NSA vets contractors that they employ.     I was a contractor to a large Defense Contractor to the NSA, and had to go through a thorough background check, then had to get a Clearance.

Reality needs to get some reality.

Apparently those they contract with aren't the quality they used to be, as the up and coming generations are more and more brainwashed by our public schools, and less and less inclined to personal responsibility because they didn't work during their teen years like we used to, and they aren't grounded in a moral system, and just plain common manners seems to be disappearing. This is the pool from which the NSA must draw. I don't have a very high opinion of our youth these days, I'm sorry to say.
