Advance copies of fired FBI Director James Comey’s highly anticipated book, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership, were released Thursday. The book is a memoir based primarily on contemporaneous notes Comey took after his meetings and conversations with President Trump. In the book he takes jabs at Trump, writing that his presidency is a “forest fire.”
“Donald Trump’s presidency threatens much of what is good in this nation,” Comey says. “This president is unethical, and untethered to truth and institutional value. His leadership is transactional, ego driven, and about personal loyalty.”
The most sensational revelation from the book is Comey’s assertion that Trump asked the former FBI director to investigate the so-called “pee tape.”
“He brought up what he called the ‘golden showers thing’… adding that it bothered him if there was ‘even a one percent chance’ his wife, Melania, thought it was true,” Comey wrote. “He just rolled on, unprompted, explaining why it couldn’t possibly be true, ending by saying he was thinking of asking me to investigate the allegation to prove it was a lie. I said it was up to him.”
