Trouble brews for James Comey as he prepares to break silence with book tour
Washington Examiner ^ | 7 April 2018 | Daniel Chaitin

In less than two weeks, James Comey is poised to begin a book tour and break his silence about his experience serving as FBI director before he was fired last summer by President Trump.

Beyond the occasional tweet in which he has defended an embattled FBI from Trump's criticisms, Comey has largely kept out of the public eye while wrapping up his book, titled “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership." But with April 17, the day his memoir hits bookshelves, fast approaching, a number of potential complications have arisen.

-snip-

"There are two major consequential probes going on right now. The Russia probe ... and with the findings not being released yet, James Comey is putting himself into a perjury trap position. He will be talking about things – meaning his interactions with the president – he had nine separate interactions either on the phone or in person with the president, and he's going to set himself up to purposefully or unwittingly saying something that is not consistent with what he's going to have told the special prosecutor," James Gagliano said during an interview on CNN, referring to special counsel Robert Mueller.

Gagliano said there is also the matter of the Justice Department inspector general looking into the DOJ and FBI over their actions, including during the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's unauthorized private email server, which Comey oversaw. "He's also be a central figure in that. So, I think that the timing is the issue," Gagliano said.

Am I being too suspicious if I worry that the first part of the title...“A Higher Loyalty..." can have a scary connotation?

A higher loyalty? From what? To what?

Might mister Comey be suggesting that he has higher loyalty to something other than the USA and the rule of law? (I do not know, I'm just asking.)

I suppose that I could read his book to find out, but my reading list is already full, and with titles by authors for whom I have respect.

Who signed off on this book to be published? Rosenstein? And if he couldn’t comment under oath on ongoing investigations while he was Director, how can he comment now about still ongoing investigations as a civilian?

Yep, when incredibly, unbelievably she was scolding the voters. If she scolds the voters can you imagine what she is like behind the scenes?

The others who answer quickly are those who have the questions in advance.

Yep.

All these coming Big Ugly indictments... that just never get around to coming.

Best case = Little Homely: worst of the bad actors will be fired, or transferred to harmless positions, then business as usual.

Clinton and Obama running free is not justice, not rule of law. I do not care about the little patsies.

When it comes - conveniently too late to protect Trump - it will exonerate all the ring leaders like Obama. Then the Swamp will say it was painstakingly done by the book - every t crossed and every i dotted - and that the case is now closed beyond dispute.

I say sundance is intoxicated with skullduggery and has deluded himself.

He claims to be a Christian, but does not seem to understand that humanity is fallen, and there are no pristinely white hats, especially not in DC.

I trust Jesus Christ, not Sessions, and not sundance.

I would be elated to find that I am wrong - truly elated.

Lanny Davis has a book out claiming that Comey cost Hillary the eletion—she would have won if not for his announcement about Weiner’s computer.

“Those documents are public and belong to us!!”

Ditto for the ALL the UN-REDACTED text messages between Strzok and Page. The excuse given for holding many back, or redacting some was because they were having an affair and it was “personal”.

That’s B.S. Wherever I worked, whether private or government, it was clear to all that any communication conducted on a company device — PC, cell phone, etc. — belonged to the organization. If you expected privacy, you were wrong. you’re right; every word created by any of these yahoos on FBI devices belongs to us.

Yep, and Keynes was apparently a bigtime Paedophile, Harry Dexter White was a Soviet agent, as well as Henry Wallace (onetime Vice President); the UN was a “manufactured consent” type of operation foisted on America.

The League of Nations was not ratified in the US Senate, they weren’t going to be swayed. That’s one thing about Evil, it never seems to take a day off.

The background of the big movers and shakers in recent history is SUPER creepy. It’s so bad, you wouldn’t even believe it possible.

The “rules are different” when it comes to leftists, they aren’t even laws. It’s not a criminal investigation, it’s a “matter”.

Felonia Von Milhouse Pantsuit didn’t have any FBI agents showing up at her lawyers offices, no raids carting away illegal, unsecured computer servers, no sir. Nobody investigating millions of dollars of “pay to play” quid pro quo donations to phony balogna “charities”.

Washington city at this point is apparently just a huge criminal racket whose only purpose is to protect thieves and scoundrels as they loot the Treasury.
