Showtime airs the battle between ex-FBI Director James Comey and President Donald Trump and the investigation into Russian election meddling depicted in The Comey Rule on Sunday and Monday. This af…

plays the man who fired him and they are surrounded by a lauded cast to tell a story Ray says most viewers only think they know.: You told James Comey when you first met him that you believed his decision to raise the alarm on Hillary Clinton’s emails again 11 days before the election, allowed Donald Trump to win the 2016 election.

So, that’s part A. Part B is, I have zero interest in the affair between Lisa Page and Peter Strzok. I mean, less than zero, but they were necessary. Lisa and Peter were part of the investigation that the FBI was conducting, and so they were a necessary part of the movie, and if I didn’t acknowledge their affair I would have been accused of whitewashing. So, even though it did not interest me I had to acknowledge that the affair happened.

Then around March we started to hear rumors that the show might air after the election, and at first I didn’t really believe it in the same way that I didn’t really believe Donald Trump would be elected president. It just seemed like such a bad idea that there was just no way that could be the ultimate result. And the reason I felt that way was because when I think about the amount of attention that this series is getting right now, six weeks out from an election…we’re white hot.

America has been in dark places before and has emerged because America is an ideal. America is about values that unite us, even if we ignore those values for a short period of time. James Comey, like him or not, speaks for those values. Donald Trump does not. That’s the difference.
