Riiight. We haven’t hit peak Nazi yet.

I don't understand your resistance to the idea that people are concerned that the Administration is trying to make the country more authoritarian but hasn't gotten us there yet.

This is not a new concept, nor limited to the left. Conservatives have constantly expressed concern that liberals were taking us towards a much less free society, worried about the slippery slope that comes with the initial adoption of things like gun restrictions or speech codes. For example, conservatives object to programs that abrogate the free market as "socialist" and argue that they represent a trend towards socialism - without making the claim that the U.S. is presently a socialist country whenever the Democrats happen to win some elections.

You don't have to say that the country is presently a completely authoritarian state to express concern that this is the direction that the Administration is taking us.

But to return to the conversation...is there anything else, other than the WSJ leak and this reference to the Steele Dossier in the ICA, that conservative news are suggesting are actual lies by Comey? Because again, I can't see how they can possibly expect to get a conviction on these charges - and I think they might even have a hard time convincing a judge that they've got enough to even get to a trial in the first place on those statements.
