Risks loom for Comey's book blitz

James Comey’s new memoir is already a pre-publication media hit, but the former FBI director’s tell-all assault on President Donald Trump also poses major risks—not only for Comey’s personal reputation but for the wider Russia investigation he helped launch.

Trump and his allies bombarded Comey with insults Friday, targeting his credibility and seeking to undermine his image as a nonpartisan law enforcement professional. On Twitter Friday, Trump called Comey an “untruthful slime ball,” while White House press secretary Sarah Sanders branded him a “discredited partisan hack.” Other critics accused Comey of cashing in on his celebrity to an unseemly degree.

But far more significant could be the implications of Comey’s written words and upcoming media interviews for special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.

His book, “A Higher Loyalty,” represents an official statement on key parts of the federal Russia probe—including the question of whether Trump may have sought to obstruct justice, a question Mueller is investigating. Legal experts warn that Comey’s own words could complicate court proceedings or a Congressional impeachment debate triggered by Mueller’s findings.

Comey has publicly bragged about dissemintating classified information to the public.

Case closed.

Another good article Drudge can ignore. Drudge’s page is now almost 100% anti Trump and verges on being pro Syrian at this point.

If your adversary is making a fool of himself, let him.
He is revealing what slimy little creep he really is. Even msm is inferring he looks petty.

We lost Drudge a year ago right about the time Trump called to end the trannys in the military. Draw your own conclusions.

Maybe his book and Michelle Obama’s memoir (in November) will race to the bottom of best sellers.

I’m sure George Soros will purchase a few million copies.

The problem with Michelle's likely book buyers? Great difficulty in reading English...she better put a ton of pictures in it.

. . . seeking to undermine his image as a nonpartisan law enforcement professional.

Refresh my memory. When did Comey ever have such an image?

It wasn't that long ago that the Democrat media complex was denouncing him as a Trump stooge who cost Hillary the election. He became a hero only after Trump fired his $orry @$$.

Nowadays “images” are media manufactured illusions.

Anyone who buys Comey’s book is a fool and a sucker.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is the best thing that ever happened to Trump, including becoming a billionaire, getting elected President of the United States and marrying the only super model that gets better looking with age.

Sarah’s words are like the sword of truth.

We are so fortunate to have her on our side.

I always loved her dad, but thought he was a bit of a Gomer Pyle. Now that I’ve gotten to know his daughter, I’m giving Mike kHuckabee a second look - I see that I underestimated Mike. What a decent and respectable man he is; so honest and clear, in both word and deed.

He and the mother deserve a hell of a lot of credit for producing such a force of nature as Sarah.

Three cheers to Sarah Sanders - I hereby nominate her as the first female POTUS.

I knew Jim Comey back when he was U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. He did have a pretty decent reputation as a straight arrow back then. Something in Jim after President Bush promoted him to NY DA, and the rest not subsequently to deputy AG while Mueller was head of FBI. I don’t recognize this Jim Comey. He is Exhibit A of what comes from breathing the noxious fumes of the Swamp.
