#EndorseThis: Seth Meyers Scrutinizes Those Trump Alibis

Seth Meyers opens his “closer look” at the ongoing Comey-Trump showdown with a backward glance — recalling how the president and his minions defended their current target last fall, when the FBI director endured withering criticism from…Democrats.

But returning quickly to the present, Meyers scrutinizes the various Trump alibis for his blatant attempts to derail the Russia investigation, notably including Chris Christie’s “normal New York conversation” gambit. And the Late Night host was naturally delighted to learn from Comey’s Senate testimony yesterday that the president once called Comey to say “he had not been involved with hookers in Russia.”

Meyers’ review is funny and valuable, especially if — like most Americans — you had to work instead of watching Comey’s testimony live.
