We should keep in mind that former director of the FBI James Comey is now a bookseller. It is hard to differentiate fabulist author James Comey from esteemed civil servant James Comey because both are in the business of preaching the word about the most pious, moral pillar in the modern age: James Comey.
“We can fight as Americans about guns or taxes or immigration, and we always have,” pontificated Comey to ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, “but what we have in common is a set of norms. Most importantly, the truth. ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident,’ right? Truth is the fourth word of that sentence. That’s what we are. And if we lose that, if we lose tethering of our leaders to that truth, what are we?”

He busts Martha Stewart but let’s Omar Mateen go because he claimed racism and profiling. Then he shoots up a gay bar. Comey is a politically correct policeman and that is dangerous.
In other words he is just a politician.
James Comey us the Kim Kardashian of the Deep State.....and hero of the Anti-Trump Republicans, and the hero-whistle blower Uni-Party Resistance Movement.
I heard a clip this morning of Comey, with that strange feminine thing in his voice, condemning Trump for calling for his arrest, a private person.
No, Comey is definitely NOT a private person. This man walked up and down the corridors of the highest government power for years. Trump called for his accountability for what he did while holding that immense power.
Comey’s voice is what makes me shudder. He maintains this sweet, syrupy quality that I think he deceives himself into believing makes all his motives and ideas pure. He is floating around in the puffy clouds of a make-believe phony morality which enables him to condemn in Trump what he has been busily engaging in himself.
Comey’s mental image of himself - we ARE the government, and we ARE great - is what most deep staters acquire - a far to lofty, arrogant image of themselves.
Comey’s actual complaint and problem (unstated by him) is very personal and emotional. He joined the ranks of so few FBI Directors (only William Sessions comes to mind) who lost their job because they were sacked. He’ll never have the legacy of most modern FBI Directors who stayed in office until they chose to leave or retired.
There is nothing worse for the Washington D.C. set than to leave high appointed office in disgrace or by being sacked. It’s a high humiliation. And there sits Comey. I understand his emotion, and now, with his book and press interviews he’s venting his feelings. Too bad. Doesn’t improve his standing or change many opinions of him.
