https://www.thedailybeast.com/comey-trump-eats-your-soul-in-small-bitesComey: Trump Eats Your Soul in Small Bites
After spending four months working alongside Trump, Comey wrote, he thought he had an answer: Proximity to an amoral leader reveals something depressing, he wrote. I think thats at least part of what weve seen with Bill Barr and Rod Rosenstein. Accomplished people lacking inner strength cant resist the compromises necessary to survive Mr. Trump and that adds up to something they will never recover from. It takes character like Mr. Mattiss to avoid the damage, because Mr. Trump eats your soul in small bites.

(17,220 posts)I've crossed paths with people over the years that I privately call 'energy vampires'; they leach your energy, goodwill, efforts and humour without giving anything back at all.
Julia Cameron in her book 'The Artists Way' calls them Crazy Makers - no agenda is important except their own. People to avoid like the plague.
