The FBI has built a protective stonewall around Comey by refusing to release the Comey memos and refusing to disclose records of communications between the FBI and Comey prior to and regarding Comey's testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Jim Comey is either dense or he's pathological.

President Trump has criticized the Mueller investigation, fired Jim Comey, savagely attacked the FBI, and repeatedly suggested the Russia campaign influence in 2016 was a hoax.

But Comey and company came to realize—as others would soon learn in the crucible of Donald Trump's presidency—that they had no idea of the magnitude of his flaws, of his narcissism, sociopathy, and ignorance. Trump's only concern was his feral self-interest, his only belief was that those around him existed to serve him.

In a press briefing on May 10, Sarah Sanders, who was then the deputy press secretary, said that Rosenstein had decided "on his own" to review Comey's performance and then chose "on his own" to tell the president his views. (Both statements were lies.)

In a press briefing on May 10, Sarah Sanders, who was then the deputy press secretary, said that Rosenstein had decided "on his own" to review Comey's performance and then chose "on his own" to tell the president his views. (Both statements were lies.) In addition, Sanders said, "We've heard from countless members of the FBI" supporting the president's decision. (Sanders later admitted this, too, was a lie.)

The Mueller Report spelled it out clearly. Trump told Comey to lay off Michael Flynn; when Comey didn't, Trump fired Comey. Trump tried to undermine Mueller, and then he ordered McGahn to oust the prosecutor; then Trump told McGahn to lie about it. These were illegal acts—in conception and execution. These were crimes, even if Mueller stopped short of saying that they were.

When making improper demands, the president, like the gangsters, would switch to a studied vagueness—like "that thing, you know.")

If Hillary Clinton had won the election, which, thank God she didn't, but if she had... she would have fired Comey immediately.

Comey worried that the pressure from Trump to end the Flynn investigation or remove the 'cloud' of the larger investigation would 'infect' the investigation if he let others working on the case know about it.
