Jim Comey is so adept at gaslighting that when you watch him being interviewed, he comes across as so plausible, you wonder if it’s you who has the inadequate grasp of reality.

The way Greer sees it, the two-year prison term he doled out Tuesday for the former second highest-ranking law enforcer in Cocke County is as much a tribute to the good cop as it is an indictment of the bad.
