Of all the fascinating details revealed during James Comey's Senate testimony on Watch Where Sleeping Dogs Lie OnlineThursday, there's one that stands out as extra painful. Comey at one point had to choose between Donald Trump and his beloved wife.
Senator Angus King (an Independent from Maine) brought up the now infamous and intimate dinner that Comey shared with President Trump at the White House on January 27. The former FBI Director explained that Trump had called and invited him over (without his family).
Comey agreed to attend, because when the President calls, you go. But first he had to deal with one pressing matter: calling his wife to break off their dinner plans.
At that point during the exchange, King interrupted to say, "That's one of the all-time great excuses for breaking a date, I think." Is it? After reading Comey's description of the dinner, we'd probably all do anything we could to avoid being in the same situation.

Comey himself, of course, now regrets accepting the President's invitation, saying, “In retrospect, I love my wife I would rather have been at dinner with her."
Oh, hell yes. He just got even hotter.
