Comey's Tour

James Comey's ongoing media tour has sparked significant controversy, particularly in his interactions with President Trump. Ben Shapiro criticizes Comey for his self-promotion, suggesting that his book tour is more about personal gain than public service 1. Shapiro argues that Comey's portrayal of Trump as obsessed with him is ironic given Comey's own actions. He also points out that Trump's response to Comey only fuels the drama, noting, "President Trump doesn't help himself, by the way, when he fires back on this" 2.

   

Media Highlights

Comey's media appearances have been marked by inconsistencies and self-aggrandizement. Shapiro highlights an interview with Stephen Colbert, where Comey's lack of new insights and his self-comparison to LeBron James are seen as undermining his credibility 3. Additionally, Comey's reluctance to comment on Andrew McCabe's disciplinary actions contrasts sharply with his outspoken views on Trump and Clinton. Shapiro notes, "James Comey has no opinion on any of this," pointing out the selective nature of Comey's criticisms 4.
