James Comey Brutalizes Trump In New Book
The former FBI Director describes Trump as a congenital liar and unethical leader, devoid of human emotion and driven by personal ego.
Here are some of the most brutal quotes from James Comey’s new book:
Comey on talking to Trump
Comey said talking to Trump gave him “flashbacks to my earlier career as a prosecutor against the Mob… The lying about all things, large and small, in service to some code of loyalty that put the organization above morality and above the truth.”
Trump was obsessed with the pee-pee tape.
When Comey brought up the salacious parts of the dossier. Trump “strongly denied the allegations, asking — rhetorically, I assumed — whether he seemed like a guy who needed the service of prostitutes. He then began discussing cases where women had accused him of sexual assault, a subject I had not raised. He mentioned a number of women, and seemed to have memorized their allegations.”
The Washington Post goes on to note “Comey describes Trump as having been obsessed with the prostitutes portion of the infamous dossier compiled by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, raising it at least four times with the FBI head. The document claimed that Trump had watched the prostitutes urinate on themselves in the same Moscow suite that President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama stayed in previously ‘as a way of soiling the bed,’ Comey writes.”
Trump is a congenital liar
Comey describes Trump as a president who built “a cocoon of alternative reality that he was busily wrapping around all of us.” Comey describes Trump as a congenital liar and unethical leader, devoid of human emotion and driven by personal ego.
Comey also skewers Congressional Republicans. “It is also wrong to stand idly by, or worse, to stay silent when you know better, while a president brazenly seeks to undermine public confidence in law enforcement institutions that were established to keep our leaders in check.”
On Trump’s famous hair, face and small hands
“His face appeared slightly orange,” Comey writes, “with bright white half-moons under his eyes where I assumed he placed small tanning goggles, and impressively coifed, bright blond hair, which upon close inspection looked to be all his.”
“As he extended his hand,” Comey adds, “I made a mental note to check its size. It was smaller than mine, but did not seem unusually so.”
