In his audiobook, A Higher Loyalty, former FBI director James Comey shares his never-before-told experiences from some of the highest stakes situations of his career in the past two decades of American government, exploring what good, ethical leadership looks like and how it drives sound decisions. His journey provides an unprecedented entry into the corridors of power and a remarkable lesson in what makes an effective leader.
Mr. Comey served as director of the FBI from 2013 to 2017, appointed to the post by President Barack Obama. He previously served as US attorney for the Southern District of New York and the US deputy attorney general in the administration of President George W. Bush. From prosecuting the mafia and Martha Stewart to helping change the Bush administration’s policies on torture and electronic surveillance and overseeing the Hillary Clinton email investigation as well as ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, Comey has been involved in some of the most consequential cases and policies of recent history.

Not a “Bombshell” Tell-All of Trump I think if people are buying this book, thinking it’s a total bashing tell-all of Trump, they are going to be sadly disappointed. I’ll confess that’s why I originally wanted to buy the book..lol. This is basically James Comey’s story of how he started in law and how he got where he was. He gives accounts of some of the cases he has worked on in the past, and most recently his interactions with Trump. If you have been paying attention to all the insanity that’s been going on, there won’t be…
