1. Some thoughts on the Comey book, based upon my new @rollingstone review of #AHigherLoyalty: rollingstone.com/politics/featu…
2. It is impossible to imagine Robert Mueller writing the book that Comey did, one that places himself at the center of the drama : rollingstone.com/politics/featu…
3. Comey falls far short of the “radical transparency” that he once embraced and that he says guided his actions during the 2016 campaign: rollingstone.com/politics/featu…
James Comey writes that partisans will misconstrue what the FBI does no matter what, but then he says he made decisions out of concern about what partisans would say about the FBI. This book is damning in ways he may not even realize.
He writes he worried that a potential attack on AG Lynch, which might have been a lie, “would allow partisans to argue, powerfully, that the Clinton Campaign, through Lynch, had been controlling the FBI’s investigation.”
If true, of course that would be wrong; if false, then it would just be another lie. Worrying about the optics falls into the very trap partisans set for the FBI. (p. 178)
