Donald Trump needs the same level of affirmation as a toddler - but prosecuting him would only give him the attention he craves, says former FBI chief James Comey.
Mr Comey told Sky News launching a criminal case could lead to several more years of the "Donald Trump show".
He said it could overshadow efforts by Joe Biden to unite America and is "probably what [Trump] would want the most".
"I have never seen an adult with a greater hunger for affirmation than Donald Trump," he told Sky News.
"I've seen it in two-year-olds and three-year-olds. Affirmation is like air, he needs it constantly.
"I'd like to see some of the lights go out and he can stand on the front lawn at Mar-a-Lago and shout at cars in his bathroom and none of us will hear it."
As president, Mr Trump is "constitutionally immune" from prosecution - but that ends in days, raising the possibility he could in future be charged if crimes were committed before or during his term.
Mr Comey agrees, though, with this week's historic second impeachment of the president.
"I don't think that anybody can disagree, there has to be the letter 'i' tattooed on him again, and ideally I'd like to see him convicted by the US Senate and barred from ever holding public office again," said Mr Comey.
He said the outgoing president was "the dictionary definition of a demagogue", who "aimed not just to lie to people but really to destroy the notion that the truth exists".
"There's a menace to him in private that you don't pick up in public," added Mr Comey.
"But I have felt it sitting close to him, that constantly reminded me of a mob boss because I've known mob bosses and helped put them in jail.

Didnt or isnt Trump releasing a bunch of info on the Russian collusion case.
The media will not report on the information released and it is scrubbed from algoresintrawebs. The only people talking about this are on Conservative websites like FR. And they are starting to shut these down. Sad, but true. Our country is in very, very bad shape and may not recover.
Wow What about
ML/NJ
Hey, Comey, have you ever looked at “botox mob boss” pelosy?
The attempted arrest of Donald Trump is the moment of open season on all democrats
No license is required and there is no bag limit
If there is no law, there is no law
I wonder if Comey realizes he’s projecting? š
Cue music for The Purge.....
BINGO
Comey is the punk who needs attention very often. Comey has run his mouth for well over 4 years now.
Attention all weak spinless GOP “conservative” waspy NWO Bush types considering working for the Harris/Moloch installation,
Democrats nominate your kind to specific positions in order to use you and appear to be reaching across the aisle, then later on as needed you are the first carcass they hurl over the castle wall,
James Comey is then what you become when their finished with you, traitorous, full of guile, weak, vacillating with passive aggressive anger,
A useless tool that no one on either side would ever trust or respect again,
Straight out of the clinton evil cabal playbook. Accusing your rivals of doing what the accuser has already done.
