Makes sense given Kelly was on the line so many times and is frustrated with having to manage a manchild.

So, he is now Trumps right hand guy...
That makes sense.


Comey knows why Trump has surrounded himself with Military Top Brass.

Stop and reflect on how things got worse for Trump after firing Comey. If Trump goes after Mueller or Rosenstein, the reaction will be like nothing we've seen.

Our nation is stronger than Trump because our forefathers were smarter than Trump and they planned for Trump. They knew he’d be here some day.

Everybody in DC seems to have hated Comey regardless of party long before Trump came on the scene. On the news shows tonight I kept hearing people describe Comey as "sanctimonious," "a grandstander in a town of grandstanders," "addicted to the spotlight." The best were "Cardinal Comey" and "St. Jim."

This book sounds like a dud if the best bits are that Trump's hands weren't as big as 6'8" Comey's but they weren't small either; he had white goggle marks from his spray tans, his ties were too long.

Comey always said he never leaks to the media.

If we match up the stories in Comey's book with media reports, I bet we'll see Comey was leaking to the media quite a bit.

The name of Comey's new book should be, "Comey's Leaking Log"

I going to leave this here.

CNN article

EXCLUSIVE: Kelly called Comey to express anger over firing, sources say

New White House chief of staff John Kelly was so upset with how President Donald Trump handled the firing of FBI Director James Comey that Kelly called Comey afterward and said he was considering resigning, according to two sources familiar with a conversation between Kelly and Comey.

"John was angry and hurt by what he saw and the way (Comey) was treated," one of the sources said.

Looks like Comey didn't have a decent Editor - the very fact that John Kelly did NOT 'quit" is proof that Comey just makes up stuff in his Revenge Opus. A good Editor would at least attempt to take some of that out of the book before it went to print.

This was suppose to have been said, when Kelly was still at DHS.
Then he goes on to take Peibus's place next to Trump, with all that animosity?
Comey lied again.

Pretty funny actually.

The commercial for Stephanopoulos interview is over the top shameless hype which will rival Maddow's tax return for biggest nothing burger.

Comey needs to be indicted.
By whom? For what? Please be specific.

well for one thing, his taking notes then passing those to a friend without clearing that is very likely to be a violation of the law as those notes automatically become classified as they pertain to conversations with the president about sensitive subjects.


Then there is a theft issue as those notes belong to the government.




Then there is the issue of his writing the exoneration of Hillary Clinton before she was interviewed. There are a handful of other things that matter here.

Truth be told, we've never seen someone as corrupt as Trump as President. We may not have liked their positions in times past, but every President was a descendant of a political party and had engaged in politics over the course of their lifetime. Now we have an alleged billionaire real estate developer who's only allegiance is to himself and will do anything to save his own skin and promote his own brand, at the expense of the entire country. We are in uncharted waters now and there is no blueprint to follow in trying to contain someone as corrupted as this man.

The jury is still out.

I'm not sure any of those things, if true, violate federal law. But if it's all so clear that they do, why hasn't Sessions indicted him? You know Trump hates his guts and would love to see Comey go down. What's holding them up?

Comey pretty much cost Hillary the election when he announced that the FBI was reopening the investigation against her. I've always thought it strange that Trump supporters hate him so much.

And, , because sometimes one is not enough.
Laughable, isn't it. I'll bet the OP got that stuff off the new Lyin' Comey joke website.
