The 304-page book resonates these very sentiments, albeit in a more detailed, professorial manner.

In his interview with Stephanopoulos, Comey comes across as a little preachy and someone far, far removed from the dirty world of politics and power, to whom loyalty to the flag and the Constitution is all that matters. The Russian interference in the 2016 elections, the Clinton emails, even Martha Stewart - it’s all there but there is also a bit of what made James Comey the persona he is. Much of what is in the book is already known from his Senate hearings and his interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. So, when his new and supposedly explosive book A Higher Loyalty hits the stands, it will no doubt cause quite a disturbance in the already turbulent political circles. His demeanour and his speeches are all about ethics and truth - things the current US president has been accused of lacking in. The Clinton camp says he cost her the elections, the Trump camp says he didn’t do enough.

Thrust into the limelight during the 2016 presidential elections due to the FBI’s handling of the Hillary Clinton emails, James Comey has been a polarising figure depending on who you ask. The whole package makes it hard to not like him - at least on a television screen. Trump digs in on election lies, insults accuser day after sexual abuse verdict during CNN town hall Jury finds Donald Trump sexually abused columnist E Jean Carroll: Will Americans still vote for him?Ĭomey, the former head of the FBI who was given the boot by Trump last May is a likeable guy - nearly six feet eight inches tall, always dapper in a suit and tie, he exudes an old-world gentlemanly charm.
