If you come at James Comey, you best not miss.
The former FBI directorwho President Donald Trump fired and then later threatened on Twitter last weekreportedly kept notes of their conversations, and some of those details are now making their way into public view. According to one of those memos, first reported by The New York Times on Tuesday, the president urged Comey to drop the FBIs investigation into Trumps former National Security Adviser.
The White House, through an anonymous press statement, flatly denied the Times reporting, which has since been confirmed by several other media organizations. (The Daily Beast could not immediately do so independently.) But the reported details already have someincluding attorneys, members of Congress, and law enforcement officials suggesting criminal wrongdoing.
"The obstruction of justice articles of impeachment counts are stacking up, it seems, an active duty FBI agent told The Daily Beast on Tuesday. Firing Comey, the agent added, was a big gamble. You've got to kill him, metaphorically. You can't just wound him."

Perhaps not the most important story but (1) I love the title; (2) I hope it's true; and (3) the premise is important--don't casually mess with a career prosecutor/law enforcement type.
Really, I think Comey likes his revenge served cold. And, no doubt, he knows how to wait for something, unlike the tRump.
Edited to add: I bet a former prosecutor and head of FBI knows how to deal with someone who tries to screw with him. Anyone want take my bet.
