How besieged FBI director James Comey lived like a king in one of America's wealthiest towns
The Daily Mail ^ | 11-8-16 | Caroline Howe

Posted on 11/08/2016 10:48:05 AM PST by afraidfortherepublic

Before he became FBI director, James Comey lived the Gold Coast high-life in Connecticut as a hedge fund high-roller. Now the besieged Comey - under fire for his surprise letters to Congress about Hillary Clinton's controversial emails that have thrown the presidential election into chaos - is about to take another hit, this time on his palatial $3 million-plus home. Comey bought the estate on more than three acres not far from where Martha Stewart used to live in ritzy Westport, Connecticut, for $3,050,000 in August 2010. He's now had to reduce the price four times down to $2.5 million and he still doesn't have a buyer for the palatial estate.   Comey, who has a net worth of $11 million, lived like a king during the six years he spent at the Connecticut home.

It's a seven bedroom, nine bath, 7,157 square foot gated home in one of Connecticut's ritziest Gold Coast towns, Westport, whose white sandy beaches line Long Island sound and whose residents have included such powerful, moneyed Democrat neighbors over the years as Stewart. Stewart's former Turkey Hill estate - which she sold in 2007 - is just a hop skip and a jump from Comey's sprawling 3.17 acres. 

Comey prosecuted and sent Stewart to prison in 2004 for insider stock trading.

There's Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, who in October co-produced a star-studded Broadway fundraiser for Hillary Clinton with tickets going for as much as ten thousand dollars each. 

Among other Democrat elites who lived in Westport was the late film star Paul Newman and his wife, Joanne Woodward, both big supporters of Bill Clinton when he was the controversial commander-in-chief.   Another more recent neighbor of Comey was the businessman and philanthropist Rajat Gupta who was convicted in 2012 on insider trading charges, like Stewart.

Looks like the Trump/Pence sign is in the public right of way, likely making it illegal.

Lock him up!

When I was a dumb kid, the FBI were heroes to me. Some years later I discovered it was all one big massive lie and my admiration turned into burning contempt.

Never forget.

“Comey prosecuted and sent Stewart to prison in 2004 for insider stock trading.” Now I reeeally don’t like him. That was a sham prosecution. She should have answered “I can’t remember.” to every question and he wouldn’t have prosecuted.

He has never spent a day in law enforcement.

Did not realize that. IMO he has no business leading a law enforcement agency.

LOL! That clown planted a Trump sign outside his fence line, snapped a photo, and is using that to whip-up Lefties into thinking he’s throwing the election to Trump??

“Comey’s days are numbered after today.”

They are “really numbered!” If Trump doesn’t try and jail him, Hillary will have another “clambake” at Ft.Marcy Park where he will be the guest of honor in the “You Can Off Yourself Sweepstakes with more than one shot!”

I just learned that yesterday. I should have guessed.

He helped protect the Clintons in four separate investigations - but he threw the book at Martha Stewart.

Yeah: impeccable, incorruptible.

When will a so-called truth teller like Rush Limbaugh simply tell the truth about such traitors?

Not on an honest cop’s salary.

He was in corporate law for a while between the Justice Department and the FBI. I imagine he'll be returning to that real soon.

That house isn’t all that old. The architecture is sort of an imitation of Federal. The scaling of the windows, shutters, porches and dormers are all pretty plodding, if it were even a good imitation the shutters would be functional and those clearly are not, they’re too narrow to cover the windows. The grounds don’t look all that groomed, particularly the lawn. There are countless suburban and rural homeowners who do a better job getting a nice stand of grass than that, all by themselves.
