Extreme secrecy surrounds Comey book manuscript
POLITICO ^ | March 15, 2018 | ANNIE KARNI

James Comey’s book is getting the Harry Potter treatment.

“A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership,” the upcoming memoir from former FBI director James Comey, is set for publication on April 18 — and with anticipation rivaling that of the cult children’s favorite, the publisher is taking extreme precautions to prevent potentially explosive revelations detailing Comey’s interactions with President Donald Trump from leaking.

White House lawyer Ty Cobb wrote in an email that the government was expecting to get a copy for review, but that he has not been involved. Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders did not respond to a request for comment about any rapid response plans in the works.

Instead of circulating multiple print drafts among the editors and agents working on the book, the publisher, Flatiron Books, has implemented a password-protected electronic system so that only those involved in the project have access to it.

The project is stored under a code name so that staffers who are not involved in the project wouldn’t know where to find it if they tried. At warehouses that will ship out copies of the book, workers are being asked to sign nondisclosure agreements, according to people familiar with the procedures.

The book promises “never-before-told experiences from some of the highest-stakes situations of his career.” That is expected to include new details about Comey’s now infamous “loyalty” dinner with Trump at the White House, as well as a first-ever chronicling of how Comey briefed Trump about the Christopher Steele dossier at Trump Tower during the transition.

The book could land at a complicated moment for Comey, as well. “A Higher Loyalty” was originally scheduled for release on May 1, but the publisher last month announced it was moving up the publishing date because of the “intense scrutiny” surrounding the FBI.

“Extreme secrecy” has a scary sound, but will the contents be based on data purloined from his prior employer?

What a jackball. More secrecy surrounding his book than his tenure with the Trump WH.

The content of the book must be reviewed for classified content by the FBI before release.

Well, that’s the law...

Never mind.

On April 17th, Stealth Sessions will execute one of his famous sealed indictments, and land liar Comey in jail.

Jk.

Sounds like a race between the release of the DOJ IG report and Comey's book.

If McCabe gets fired in the next two days, Comey will have a lot of 'spaining to do.

I thought I heard early this morning on FNC that he would be fired on Friday. Time will tell.

Is he going to say Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page made me do it?

He is doing a combination of reading the tea leaves and hedging his bets. If DoJ goes one way, the book will crap all over Hillary and Obama. If things go another way, he’ll crap all over Trump. Either way, he “wrote the book” on politicizing the FBI and is seven feet of leakage.

What the heck? If some liberal law professor from Columbia can see the memos which are public taxpayer records, then the secrecy surrounding LEAKER COMEY’s book is stupid and ought to be breached!!!

I wonder if the prohibition on profiting (forfeiture of royalties) from writing a book on criminal activity applies to Comey’s book?

No, the Swamp already knows how that is done. Time to move on to more modern tactics.
