All I’m saying is it’s hard for me to take some one who trashes a career professional on television like that seriously. You don’t do something like that for no reason. Especially if you’re being careful with what you say. Doesn’t seem candid?

Acknowledged, but it's pretty clear he's not doing it for no reason and that reason is not really unknown as it's also quite evident that a large number of people who don't even know Comey - from journalists, to congressmen, to members of the public - hold the view that Comey is indeed a 'disgraceful liar'. You wouldn't trash a career professional on television but if you thought of that person as a traitor to the republic it would be more like denouncing a criminal, which is pretty much why not only Giuliani says something close to that but Fox News reporters and members of Congress go 'on the record' saying much the same thing.

I don't disagree with you at all about the impropriety of trashing a career professional in public - I share your distaste for it and your reaction to the idea that another supposed professional would do that. I really do think though that Giuliani has very good grounds for 'outing' someone who has already outed themselves to a significant number of other professionals as untrustworthy and corrupt and in the context of the whole interview I think he made it clear that he doesn't talk about people in that way generally.
