Comey was appointed by the Obama Administration in 2013. With great power comes great responsibility– and a massive pay cut. This year, as we know, Trump cut him loose. I don’t think he will be tossing and turning in bed at night over the loss of his government salary.

Lawyer James Comey is hoping for an ethical leadership in 2018 after saying bye to last year with a parting shot at his old boss.
On April 17th, 2018, Comey published his memoirs titled A Higher Loyalty. In it, he detailed his career, his life, and also went IN on his old boss, President Donald Trump. Comey wrote: “This president is unethical, and untethered to truth and institutional values…His leadership is transactional, ego-driven and about personal loyalty.” Comey’s war with Donald Trump was well documented, and following his dismissal at the hands of the President, Comey was off the leash. After testifying to Congress in 2017, Comey spent much of the year gearing up for another attack.
