One other small excerpt: Four years later, many of us are so jaded that we’ve come to normalize things that deserve to be met with the shock and seriousness expressed by the characters in The Comey Rule. Which leads into another unexpected takeaway – watching the miniseries, I realized how much I’d already forgotten about the Trump presidency. So much has happened since November 2016 that the absolutely tumultuous early days of his administration had completely faded from my mind. (For instance, I totally forgot Carter Page had ever existed.)
