Former FBI director James Comey made a quiet visit to The New York Times building on Thursday, one of few public outings since he admitted leaking stories to the newspaper about President Trump before the Senate Intelligence Committee on June 8.
Comey kept his sunglasses on and his gaze forward as he marched through the front entrance of the Times Square office building which houses the publication. He was accompanied by his wife Patrice Failor who also wore sunglasses.
Unmistakable as he towered over the crowds in a crisp navy suit and tie on one of the warmest days of the year, Comey drew second-glances from some stunned by-passers.
He spent almost three hours inside before emerging, having removed his sunglasses, to hail a cab.
It was a timely visit, coming just a few weeks after the president's suggestion that he may be responsible for more leaks about the administration since being fired on May 9.
Comey confessed to being the source of a leak to the Times about private, unorthodox meeting he had with the president before he was fired in June.
The subject of their conversation was former National Security Adviser General Michael Flynn and the FBI's investigation into his ties with Russia.
Comey claimed that during their conversation, the president pressured him to drop the probe and asked him to show his loyalty. Concerned about the nature of their meeting, he recorded details of the meeting in a memo and stored it.
After his firing on May 8, Comey gave details of the memo to 'a friend' at the Times in response to a tweet from the president who threatened: 'Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!'

Comey must be afraid that there is a court-ordered tap on his phones.
....”Openly conspiring against the President”....
Comey and his wife are playing head games....no doubt Comey had these photos of him pre-set before he arrived at the Times.....that is all too obvious,.... talking on the phone, hanging out in the lobby on purpose. Both he and his wife wanted to be seen.......they know Trump doesn’t like the Times...Never thought I’d see the day any head, former or otherwise, of the FBI to play such stupid games! Comey’s really stooping low....
NAH...I don’t buy it...3 hours there! Nah...but a nice try to cover....Comey is as slippery as they come so I don’t put anything past him.
Omg that’s his wife?!?! Looks more like his mother. Hahahahaha
You have outdone yourself! I am in awe!
....”Omg that’s his wife?!?! Looks more like his mother. Hahahahaha”....
Well I was thinking that.....grey hair always will age a woman at least ten years.... and I don’t care if they think it’s fashionable....it’s not.
He's already a wealthy man, and his book deal will pay off handsomely.
He was handsomely rewarded for his services to HSBC.
Plus, who knows how much he's getting from the Deep State.
Wow
” and I don’t care if they think it’s fashionable....it’s not.”

She probably just has gray hair-——fashion has nothing to do with it.
.
Comey is dirty. Whether or not he wears orange someday is another matter.
Good one!
Well stated BTTT!
Well stated BTTT!
Admits? No bias there. /s
Lots of game playing going on as I see it.....Comey should just roll up like a ball and go on vacation for awhile. But you know these people are so used to playing in these power games it’s probably like coming off an addiction....so even though he’s been fired he’s going to play on the sidelines no matter what.
Admits!?!
If I say I didn't eat eggs for breakfast that it not an admission.
Wittes has been named as Comey’s go-between to the NYT in a number of articles.
