Nothing To See Here, Move Along

During lunch today (ca. 12:15 PDT) Fox News host Shep Smith interviewed Chris Wallace, the Fox 'utility infielder' and Sunday show host. Wallace is the son of long-time CBS 60 Minutes personality Mike Wallace.

Their topic was the new James Comey autobiography, currently being promoted on tour by its subject/author. Wallace said while Comey wrote many unflattering "characterizations" of Trump and his associates, there were essentially no new revelations of prosecutable wrong-doing by Trump or his people.

Translation: Mad at the boss who fired him, a fired worker seeks revenge. How is this anything new? It's as old as time, a classics scholar (which I'm not) could cite examples of cranky former subordinates in Ancient Greece or Imperial Rome.
