Another book is about to wreck havoc on US President Donald Trump's life. A tell-all book by former FBI director James B. Comey to be relased next week, describes Trump as an “ego driven and about personal loyalty.” The book, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership, is a 304 page book detailing Comey's private interaction with Trump as well as his handlng of the Hillary Clinton email investigation.
The book takes apart Trump's administration and his character. Comey describes Trump as a congenital liar and unethical leader who is devoid of human emotion and driven by personal ego. “I have one perspective on the behavior I saw, which while disturbing and violating basic norms of ethical leadership, may fall short of being illegal,” Comey writes.
Comey says that he was reminded of his earlier career as a prosecutor against the Mob while dealing with Trump. Trump is compared to a mafia don who is "the boss in "complete control. The loyalty oaths. The us-versus-them worldview. 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's administration, as a result of his mobster approach, is described as a "forest fire".
Comey narrates his story with notes of his interactions with Trump. In the sharply critical book Comey calls the US President as someone who is uethical and "untethered to truth".
Comey states that Trump tried to discuss an intelligence dossier known as the Steele dossier. The dossier according to the book, contains unconfirmed allegations that Russians filmed Trump's interaction with prostitutes in Moscow in 2013. A particular portion dealt with his interactions with prostitutes. The document claims that Trump had watched the prostitutes urinate on themselves in the same Moscow suite that President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama had stayed in “as a way of soiling the bed.” Comey was repeatedly pressured by Trump to consider investigating the allegations so as to make Melania Trump feel better.
Comey claims that Trump wanted the FBI to investigate the allegations to prove they were not true. He says the president asked what could be done to "lift the cloud" as it was painful for first lady Melania Trump.
Many explosive revelations have been detailed by Comey in his book. He also defends his handling of the Clinton email investigation.
Comey says his wife and daughters voted for Clinton, He includes a message in his book to the would-be first female president: “I have read she has felt anger toward me personally, and I’m sorry for that. I’m sorry that I couldn’t do a better job explaining to her and her supporters why I made the decisions I made.”
The 6 feet 8 inches tall Comey, writes that the 6-foot-3 president-elect looked shorter than he did on television. “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.”
About Trump's hands, Comey adds, “It was smaller than mine, but did not seem unusually so.” The detailed physical description of Trump will be a fodder for the anti-Trump troll brigade for many days to come.
Comey was fired by Trump in May 2017 over his handling of the Hillary Clinton email probe. Comey’s firing led to the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller to investigate allegations that Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election and possible collusion between Russians and the Trump campaign.
