The hype for James Comey’s book tour (set to launch on ABC Sunday evening with an hour-long George Stephanopoulos special) began last November 2 when CBS’s Gayle King teased it during an interview with the former FBI director: “We’re getting a first look this morning at fired-FBI Director James Comey’s new memoir....His publisher says the book will explore good, ethical leadership.” Co-host Norah O’Donnell exclaimed: “Something tells me that’s going to be a good book!”
And while liberal journalists are clearly hoping for Comey to dish the dirt on President Donald Trump, there was a time when they hammered him as a partisan hack whose investigation into then-candidate Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal was sneaky sabotage of an all-but-certain Democratic victory in 2016.
