Ex-FBI Director James Comey compared President Trump to a “mob boss” in a yet-to-be aired interview with George Stephanopoulos, likely signalling that bashing the man who fired him to a fawning press is Comey’s strategy for selling his new book.
Not too long ago, Comey was loathed by people on both sides of the political aisle. Republicans blamed him for flubbing the probe into Hillary Clinton’s illegal email server, and Democrats faulted him for reopening it just days before the 2016 presidential election.
However, the fired FBI chief has since found himself back in the good graces of liberals — due largely to his combative relationship with Trump.
