Exclusive: Comey to come out hot on book tour, correct lies

Source: Axios



Mike Allen 2 hours ago

Look for fired FBI Director James Comey to come out hot on the book tour that begins 30 days from now for "A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership," out April 17 from Flatiron Books.

We're told: Comey has been quiet for nearly a year — fired by President Trump on May 9, precipitating the appointment of special counsel Bob Mueller eight days later. He has heard a lot of lies and misstatements about the FBI that he intends to correct. He didn’t want to be in this position, but is embracing it.

There'll be more announcements about his book tour soon, but he’s eager to go to where his critics are and take them on.

He has seen three presidents up close (George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump), and will compare and contrast the first two he served to the third.

Mike Allen: James Comey ‘Going to Come Out Hot’ on Book Tour Blitz to ‘Correct Lies’

“There’ll be more announcements about his book tour soon, but he’s eager to go to where his critics are and take them on,” Mike Allen reported, adding Comey intends to compare and contrast Presidents Bush and Obama with Trump (he served under all three.)

“As you can guess, what he says is going to rattle a lot of china,” Allen added.

The Axios co-founder appeared on Morning Joe Friday to discuss his report, and said that Comey is “going to come out hot” for his book tour.

Meanwhile, Comey’s media blitz is already shaping up to be a whirlwind: he’s hitting ABC News’s 20/20 for an interview with George Stephanopoulos on April 15, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on April 17, and The View on April 18.

2. Comey lost a lot of credibility when he sabotaged Clinton's run for president.

It will take a lot to make up for that, if he ever can.

as to the consequences of his words and actions at the time. He and virtually everyone else figured Hillary was a safe shoo-in, which put him in CYA mode to have it appear that he was being fair and impartial toward the candidates, when in fact he was not. Russia was hush-hush while Anthony Wiener's nothing-new-burger laptop exploded in the headlines. Extremely careless, indeed.
