Former FBI Director James Comey thinks he has an audience that will buy his upcoming book. But, I think many Americans are skeptical of this hack.
The left thinks he sank Hillary Clinton’s chances and the right knows he used the “golden showers” dossier to spy on President Trump. So who is going to purchase this book?

Comey has some major psychological problems. One of them is the ‘White Knight Syndrome.’ He sees himself as the man battling evildoers (by his definition) in government. More often than not, he creates scenarios that allow him to play out his fantasy at the massive expense of those he’s targeting. He’s a consummate game player, conniver, and charlatan. It’s all about Comey.
Thanks to his leadership of the FBI, the agency’s reputation is in tatters.
Here’s more about the book from Daily Mail: “Fired FBI director James Comey began promoting his forthcoming book on Thursday with an aw-shucks one-liner that recalled the most memorable moment of his blockbuster summertime congressional hearing. ‘Lordy I hope there are pictures,’ Comey tweeted.”

This little quip was a reference to Comey’s comment, “Lordy I hope there are tapes,” made during his remarks to the Senate Intelligence Committee.

But also consider Comey’s carefully chosen title for his tell-all. “A Higher Loyalty” is a reference to President Trump allegedly demanding loyalty from Comey when they first met. Comey thinks he’s sharp, but he’s really as dull and as subtle as a block a concrete.
I’ve got a question for our new author: Will you leak your tract to the NY Times? Can we somehow make the book a sworn statement so if he lies in it, he can go to jail for perjury?
I was undecided about this guy up until the point that he admitted leaking classified information to the press. Government officials need to be held to the highest standards, not be rewarded for dereliction of their duties. So screw him. As far as I’m concerned, he should be writing his fiction from a cell.

Yeah, his “higher loyalty” was to Hillary Clinton, not his JOB.
He seemed confused in the FBI’s HRC private email server investigation about the rule of law. Instead of following the principle that “law should govern our nation”, he morphed that into “our nation should be governed by decisions of government officials” and arbitrarily excused HRC.
I feel the same way about this phony self anointed Knight of the realm. I would not spend a penny on what will probably be exposed as a bunch of lies. I also lost all respect for his lack of loyalty to the country and the POTUS. The only loyalty this misfit has is to Obama and the Clintons. What a farce he made of the FBI.
guess Comey’s higher loyalty is lying when it seems he needs to do so to keep his job ,,, oops – how did that work out Commy.
I know the author is being a bit facetious, but statements appearing in the book which are inconsistent with former or future testimony can be used, at the very least to impeach his credibility. The book’s statements can also open lines of questioning, especially when other evidence is found leading in the opposite direction.
Certainly got a good laugh out of this! This is about as redundant as Hillary’s “What Happened.” Talk about an oxymoron, intelligent people will be laughing their @sses off over this one! Lol.
Comey would have been at home in a Byzantine court of conspiracies. Where falsehood & deviousness are virtues…..
i SAID IT ONCE AND i’LL SAY IT AGAIN. COMEY IS A PIOUS FRAUD.
we all make our bed and sleep in it….chose the wrong side….a walking brain fart…
Will have the same success as Hildabeast’s book.
Yah but he’ll be at Kmart selling it instead of Costco! LMAO!

This is exactly what I saw as well. Great article, Wayne!
That’s a curious bipolar disorder. From, white knight delusions to swamp creature and back again. I still say he worked for the Hillary creatures because he was sure that she would be the next president. The reopening of the investigation after the meeting on the tarmac fiasco was damage control – trying hard to show that he wasn’t partisan. There’s also a symptom of sociopathic tendencies in his behavior with his attitude that, if it didn’t benefit him it was probably evil.
comey inherited his clinton-crime-family “bagman” role from Mueller when he became FBI Director . . . and its all been downhill, career-wise for both comey and mueller . . . but seemingly well deserved.
Comey turned out to be a colossal disappointment. This became evident when he proclaimed the reasons for not recommending that Hillary be prosecuted. The fix was in. One could hear the groans from all the lawyers around the country who know the elements of statutory construction.
For the head of the FBI to read off a list of crimes that Hillary committed and then declare “no prosecutor would ever bring charges against her” belies common sense. Worse, the Congress stood by in mute acceptance of this fools errand.
The only loyalty this ash whole has is to himself, the crook Lorretta Lynch and the rest of the crooks around the DOJ that no one can trust. Put it in the prison library so you can relieve your crimes.
Look for Comey in the tire section of a Costco near you…
One wonders if Comey consulted OJ discussing “If I did it this the way I would have done it” I still cannot comprehend how the stupid lawyer did not discredit JC “If it doesn’t fit acquit”. Everyone knows that a glove soaked in blood shrinks and will not fit nd on that basis OJ should have been convicted
I agree with your point Stefan, but since that was so long ago, maybe there are many readers who are simply not aware of how damning the evidence against O.J. was, and yet, the jury set him free. As I recall, O.J. got off because: 1. His race-baiting lawyer (Cochran) built Mark Furman up to be a bigot who had worked tirelessly to make O.J. look guilty even if he wasn’t. 2. The people of the greater Los Angeles area are not likely (ever) to convict one of their celebrities.
But, you are correct, maybe the prosecution should have also provided a new (10 pairs to account for the law of averages) – unused pair of gloves of the same model and had an expert witnesses testify about what happens to leather when wetted and then allowed to dry. There still may have been some jury member who would not have convicted him even if there was a video of him committing the murder but the overwhelming majority of Americans would have been convinced and you might not see so many ignorant (not meant as an insult – I’m using the word as defined in the dictionary, i.e. not aware) folks coming to his rescue. The most damning piece of evidence, in my opinion, was that both Nicole’s and Ron Goldman’s blood was found in O.J.’s bronco. Had the prosecution presented only that one piece of evidence and nothing more and simply rebutted any defense testimony, the trial would have been much shorter and it is possible that Furman wouldn’t have been demonized at all and O.J. would have received his due justice. Just my opinion…
Everyone knew OJ was guilty. Johnny Cochran was smart enough to turn the trial into a racial grievance platform for the blacks. If you were on the jury and voted “guilty”, you would have been seen as a racist. In the past few years the democrats have adopted the strategy of calling anyone who disagrees with their policies, “racist’. It isn’t as effective as they thought it would be but it’s still one of their best political weapons.
Even his good buddy & attorney Robert Kardashian realized OJ was guilty.
no
Absolutely NOT !!!!!!!!!
