Comey: Getting wedgies as a kid in N.J. prepared me for Trump

Decades before former FBI Director James Comey says he faced the mob boss-like tactics of President Trump, the fired lawman got an early lesson in bullies growing up in Allendale, he writes.

In Comey's book, "A Higher Loyalty," the 1978 Northern Highlands Regional High School graduate describes suffering through body-shaming, wedgies and getting shoved into lockers, according to the Washington Post, which obtained an advance copy of the already best-seller.

Comey, who says Trump demanded a loyalty pledge, links lessons from his upbringing in Bergen County to his public clash with the president. Trump ultimately canned Comey amid the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

"Surviving a bully requires constant learning and adaptation. Which is why bullies are so powerful, because it's so much easier to be a follower, to go with the crowd, to just blend in," Comey writes.

The future FBI chief faced other traumatic experiences growing up in a leafy section of Bergen County. At 15, Comey was held captive by a gun-toting assailant dubbed the "Ramsey Rapist."

translation: ‘I am an insecure passive-aggressive who cannot build a trusting relationship with people in power or authority and will do everything I can to obstruct and undermine them while avoiding direct confrontation at almost all costs.’

It was easier to let the Clintons skate than to commit suicide in FBI headquarters and have his body moved to some park or canoe.

This comey criminal and integrity-free loser had his ghost writer make up all sorts of lies in an attempt to cover-up his inadequacy, his dishonesty and his incompetence. What a putz. I bet his cats use him as a litter box.

This really makes Comey look pathetic and I can’t believe he actually wrote this!

So he is a gamma who got some power, and abused it. Nice to have him admit it.

The fact that a man of his age would publicly utter such psycho-babble to justify his errant and criminal conduct shows the depth of his mental illness.


The result of a focus group.....................

Does anyone find it disturbing that men that are in these positions, where you want the Chesty Puller-types making decisions and making things happen, are such p*ssies. I have to say that the feminization of men started a lot longer than most people want to admit, if Comey is any indication. Have some balls, why don’t you.

In addition to being vindictive and conniving, Comey is just flat-out weird. This guy has some really bizarre vibes.

Bet he got swirlies too

And enjoyed them.

Why the heck would he admit to the world that even little kids knew he was a slimy little cretin. Either little kids had him figured out early or he a liar. Adults should take notice.

LOL!!!! Donald J. Trump James Comey is a proven LEAKER & LIAR. Virtually everyone in Washington thought he should be fired for the terrible job he did-until he was, in fact, fired. He leaked CLASSIFIED information, for which he should be prosecuted. He lied to Congress under OATH. He is a weak and..... Donald J. Trump ‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 1h1 hour ago ....untruthful slime ball who was, as time has proven, a terrible Director of the FBI. His handling of the Crooked Hillary Clinton case, and the events surrounding it, will go down as one of the worst “botch jobs” of history. It was my great honor to fire James Comey! 29,849 replies 13,017 retweets 49,104 likes Donald J. Trump ‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 2h2 hours ago

So THAT prepared him for Trump, too?
