Obsessed: Trump Attacks ‘Slippery’ Comey, ‘Badly Reviewed’ Bestseller
Donald Trump is obsessed with former FBI Director James Comey and his new memoir “A Higher Loyalty,” already a bestseller ahead of its release.
Following several tantrums and attacks coinciding with the release of book excerpts, the president began his Sunday obsessively attacking Comey, the memoir, Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch.
“Unbelievably, James Comey states that Polls, where Crooked Hillary was leading, were a factor in the handling (stupidly) of the Clinton Email probe,” Trump began. “In other words, he was making decisions based on the fact that he thought she was going to win, and he wanted a job. Slimeball!”

“The big questions in Comey’s badly reviewed book aren’t answered like, how come he gave up Classified Information (jail), why did he lie to Congress (jail), why did the DNC refuse to give Server to the FBI (why didn’t they TAKE it), why the phony memos, McCabe’s $700,000 & more?” Trump continued.

“Comey throws AG Lynch ‘under the bus!’ Why can’t we all find out what happened on the tarmac in the back of the plane with Wild Bill and Lynch?” Trump, yes, continued. “Was she promised a Supreme Court seat, or AG, in order to lay off Hillary. No golf and grandkids talk (give us all a break)!”

“I never asked Comey for Personal Loyalty,” the president asserted after a brief pause to discuss Syria. “I hardly even knew this guy. Just another of his many lies. His “memos” are self serving and FAKE!”

Turning again to his childish taunts and nicknames, the president concluded (for now) by asserting that “Slippery James Comey, a man who always ends up badly and out of whack (he is not smart!), will go down as the WORST FBI Director in history, by far!”
