A Must Read: A Higher Loyalty by James Comey

I just finished reading the book called a
higher loyalty by former FBI director James Comey. As it turns out it was well worth the read.

  DEBATED BUYING IT - I must say that I had mixed feelings about buying the book because I honestly feel like his revelation about the extra Hillary Clinton emails found on Anthony Weiner's laptop, cost her the election and left us with the disaster that we now have. However I wanted to get his side of the story and I am glad I bought the book and read it.
   Comey has worked for several presidents, and explained the struggle he went through about revealing the email situation. He also explained that they did not have enough on the Trump - Russia collusion to talk about it, and that the Obama Administration was hesitant to put out any notice about the Russian interference because it may influence the election. Either way, it did and we wound up with Trump. The book also explores some of the big cases in his history including Martha Stewart, and his prosecution of mob cases. The last chapter is about his dealings with Donald Trump, and they are the most scathing assessment of This president's character. Well worth the read.
  Following is the book summary from amazon.com that will give you more detail.
