We may not have seen a whole lot of Former FBI Director James Comey in the 10.5 months since he was fired, but in just a couple of weeks, he will be talking a lot. Beginning Aril 15th, Comey will be interviewed everywhere from ABC to CNN and MSNBC and even on Fox News Channel (with Bret Baier).
Comey’s interviews are part of the promotion for his upcoming book “A HIGHER LOYALTY: Truth, Lies, and Leadership.” The book, set to be released on April 17th, is already on Amazon’s best seller list. Pre-orders skyrocketed with help from Donald Trump himself and this Twitter exchange in Mid-March.
Andrew McCabe FIRED, a great day for the hard working men and women of the FBI – A great day for Democracy. Sanctimonious James Comey was his boss and made McCabe look like a choirboy. He knew all about the lies and corruption going on at the highest levels of the FBI!

Mr. President, the American people will hear my story very soon. And they can judge for themselves who is honorable and who is not.

The Fake News is beside themselves that McCabe was caught, called out and fired. How many hundreds of thousands of dollars was given to wife’s campaign by Crooked H friend, Terry M, who was also under investigation? How many lies? How many leaks? Comey knew it all, and much more!

Wow, watch Comey lie under oath to Senator G when asked “have you ever been an anonymous source…or known someone else to be an anonymous source…?” He said strongly “never, no.” He lied as shown clearly on @foxandfriends.

If you are expecting a book similar to Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fire you may be disappointed. It’s unclear whether this book will be a tell-all. News & Guts posed these questions to Comey’s publisher Flatiron Books:
- Is Comey going to reveal everything he knows?
- Is he subject to some kind of non-disclosure agreement?
- Do any court proceedings or investigations preclude him from saying certain things?
The publisher answered with this description that reads in part:
“In A HIGHER LOYALTY, Comey will explore what good, ethical leadership looks like and how it drives sound decisions. Using examples from some of the highest-stakes situations in the past two decades of American government, Comey will share yet-unheard anecdotes from his long and distinguished career.”
Whatever story Comey has to tell it’s clear it will be a popular one. Comey already has a 10-city book tour planned and tickets for his New York City stop are going for as high as $850 on StubHub.
