John Oliver Hilariously Points Out Why the Comey Hearings Were Disastrous for Trump: WATCH<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Comey<\/p>\n

John Oliver looked back at last week\u2019s testimony from fired FBI Director James Comey and the unbelievable reactions from Donald Trump and Paul Ryan.<\/p>\n

Oliver launched the segment with Comey\u2019s\u00a0criticism of Trump\u2019s attacks on the FBI and Comey\u2019s standing within it, labeling Trump a liar and calling the attacks \u201clies, plain and simple.\u201d<\/p>\n

Said Oliver:<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump\u2019s lies are never plain and simple. Each one is like an everlasting gobstopper. You\u2019ll never make it through every layer because it was produced by an insane person who should never be in charge of anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oliver also expressed his astonishment at Comey\u2019s demeanor:<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is describing his meeting with the president like a person who thought he was about to be murdered. All of a sudden, we were alone, so I texted my location to a friend and tried to get some of his DNA under my fingernails.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

And the details of the dinner where Trump allegedly asked for Comey\u2019s loyalty:<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was tricked into a one-on-one dinner with Donald Trump, which is definitely<\/em> not the first time that that has happened. Comey is just lucky that Trump didn\u2019t try the old hole-in-a-bucket-of-popcorn trick.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oliver also looked at Trump\u2019s tweet attacking Comey\u2019s testimony:<\/p>\n

\n

Despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication\u2026and WOW, Comey is a leaker!<\/p>\n

\u2014 Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 9, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Said Oliver:\u201d Just think about what he\u2019s saying there: Trump is essentially claiming that he\u2019s been vindicated by testimony that he\u2019s claiming is false. At this point, he\u2019s become a walking logical paradox. I honestly wouldn\u2019t be surprised if he just starts tweeting things like, \u2018I just traveled back in time and killed myself.Very unfair!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, Oliver mocked Paul Ryan\u2019s excuse for Trump\u2019s interactions with Comey, that he\u2019s just \u201cnew to this\u201d whole politics thing.<\/p>\n

Said Oliver:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many problems with what he just said, but the main one is that there are undeniable times when the excuse \u2018he\u2019s new to this\u2019 is fair: If you work at a daycare and on your first day you mix up the three Olivias, no big deal. You\u2019re new here. But if on your first day you set up a Baby Fight Club, that is not OK and you should have known that before you started. And a president attempting to shut down an investigation into a subordinate is pretty firmly the latter option here, and you want their supervisors to look into that\u2014even if the first rule of Baby Fight Club is you can\u2019t talk about Baby Fight Club in an open setting.\u201d<\/p>\n
