Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey’s new tell-all book is coming out today — and it has even his caused former supporters in Hillary Clinton’s campaign to “seethe with rage.”
“Allies and advisers to Hillary Clinton can finally agree with President Trump on one thing: former FBI Director James Comey is no hero,” The Hill reported, saying that even Hillary’s top aides are admitting that Comey has poor judgement.
After bungling the investigation into Hillary’s illegal email server, Comey was fired by Trump in May 0f 2017.
Since then, the discredited lawman then turned his wrath on the White House — and Comey’s tour of shameless self-promotion has both sides of the political aisle questioning his professionalism and credibility.
MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and his panelists ripped Comey on Monday for putting himself above the country after his career fell to pieces.
“One of the unfortunate things of all of this is that [this book tour is] happening,” Council on Foreign Relations chief Richard Haass said on the show. “There’s enough of a circus now.” Haass then called Comey’s book “self-interest, not national interest.”
Fox News called Comey’s ABC News interview Sunday night a disjointed mess that was largely panned by the few viewers it managed to bring in.
Journalism professor Jay Rosen complained the editing was heavy-handed and had a clear bias —
This interview is VERY aggressively edited. Almost every sentence is ended by the ABC producers, not by Comey.

It has gotten so bad for Comey, even CNN piled on.
The liberal news network reported on Friday that there has been serious backlash on Comey’s professionalism from his former colleagues at the FBI —

You know that if Hillary, Trump supporters, CNN, and Fox News all agree on something, it must be true.
James Comey has no more credibility left to sell.
