Inside The Mind Of James Comey
From someone who knows him well...
[A] a great guy who operates under the principle that everyone is as principled as him. He is an honorable man operating in a country in which politicians don’t operate honorably.
— Ali Soufan, a former FBI Supervisory Special Agent, describing FBI Director James Comey and providing some insight into the controversy surrounding the Director’s pre-election statements in a fantastic piece in Esquire. This assessment fits with what I’d written at the time about Comey’s correct sense of his obligations following his July statements “clearing” Hillary and urging folks not to blame him for the acts of Republican officials showing no sense of dignity for the seriousness of their office. The whole Esquire piece is worth a read.
