Mike Allen: James Comey ‘Going to Come Out Hot’ on Book Tour Blitz to ‘Correct Lies’
James Comey is planning a book tour that “is going to rattle a lot of china,” according to an Axios’s Mike Allen.
The former FBI Director, who was fired by President Donald Trump last year amid his growing frustrations with the metastasizing Russia investigation, is penning a memoir set to be published April 17.
And the book, “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership,” is looking like a bombshell: according to Politico, its “publisher is taking extreme precautions to prevent potentially explosive revelations detailing Comey’s interactions with President Donald Trump from leaking.”
Comey has spent the year since his firing laying low, but according to Allen’s Axios report, he “has heard a lot of lies and misstatements about the FBI that he intends to correct.”
“There’ll be more announcements about his book tour soon, but he’s eager to go to where his critics are and take them on,” Mike Allen reported, adding Comey intends to compare and contrast Presidents Bush and Obama with Trump (he served under all three.)
“As you can guess, what he says is going to rattle a lot of china,” Allen added.
The Axios co-founder appeared on Morning Joe Friday to discuss his report, and said that Comey is “going to come out hot” for his book tour.
Meanwhile, Comey’s media blitz is already shaping up to be a whirlwind: he’s hitting ABC News’s 20/20 for an interview with George Stephanopoulos on April 15, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on April 17, and The View on April 18.
