Abc interview james comey

POLITICS 04/25/2018 11:35 pm ET "What I hope they'll do is ask themselves, Republicans: 'So what will I tell my grandchildren?'" By Nick Visser 450 Former FBI Director James Comey said at a televised town hall Wednesday that he is “embarrassed and ashamed” of the Republican Party for abandoning the values he once took pride in. “I was attracted by the notion that character matters and values matter most of all, that that’s where you start in evaluating a person, an entity, a country: What are their values. That’s non-negotiable,” Comey said at the CNN event at his alma mater, the College of William & Mary in Virginia.  Comey has conducted a range of interviews to tout the release of his new book, A Higher Loyalty, this month.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said Thursday that former FBI Director James Comey's new book will do "very little" to hurt President Donald Trump. Comey, who was fired by Trump last May, is set to release a new book, titled "A Higher Loyalty," which he says will illuminate his time in the Trump administration. "The truth is his credibility is shot," Huckabee said of Comey on Fox News' "America's Newsroom" on Thursday, ahead of the former FBI Director giving an interview on ABC this Sunday, adding "ABC is trying to promote ratings and revenue, and James Comey is hawking a book." He also said Comey "is like, you know the old saying, there's no anger like a woman scorned," and is "out for a little bit of revenge," but admitted, "I don't begrudge him for wanting to make money.

Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Thursday slammed former FBI Director James Comey as "a bitter, fired employee who has a long record of aggrandizement" after he compared President Donald Trump to a "mob boss" in an upcoming television interview. "He colluded with Chuck Schumer's staff in 2007 to embarrass President [George W.] Bush when he was an appointee," Gingrich, the former Georgia congressman, told Sandra Smith on Fox News. Schumer is the longtime Democratic senator from New York. Gingrich was speaker from 1995 to 1999. "He did so to make himself look good," Gingrich said. "We have to put anything Comey says in a box and realize this is a bitter guy who was fired publicly, who deeply resents President Trump. "You have to balance whatever he says against that," he said. In a promo of an interview to air Sunday on "20/20" on ABC News, George Stephanopoulos asked Comey: "How strange is it for you to sit here and compare the president to a mob boss?" Comey was … [Read more...] about Gingrich Slams James Comey as ‘Bitter, Fired Employee’
