If President Donald Trump has an enemies list, James Comey is at the very top. Trump has made no secret of his dislike for Comey, who was in charge of the FBI probe that looked into whether Russia had interfered with the 2016 election. In May of 2017, Donald Trump fired James Comey. During his second term, the President has prodded the Justice Department to go after his political opponents. And just days before the statute of limitations ran out, the Justice Department indicted the former FBI Director for allegedly lying to Congress in 2020. Critics say the country has entered a dangerous and dark phase in which the government is taking revenge on its political opponents. In August 2023, I spoke to James Comey about decency, fairness and what it’s going to take to protect our democracy.
