My Take
James Comey interests me precisely because he resists easy judgment. A Yonkers-born lawyer who climbed to the seventh directorship of the FBI, he became a central character in one of the most turbulent chapters of modern American politics, then was abruptly fired in 2017. Whether you read him as a man of principle or a self-dramatizing operator — and serious people argue both — he made consequential decisions under impossible pressure and owned them publicly. His second act as an author and lecturer shows a knack for turning institutional exile into a platform. I keep his file open; history has not finished grading him.
