Poll: Seems Comey's trolling of Trump *is* prep for a book. Will you...

I'm conflicted. Release, it says on his Twitter, is Spring 2018.

I seriously wonder about the timing of him saying jack during the election. I can't help but feel like the fact he made public statements so close to the election helped influence it to Trump.

So it's almost like -- "Hey, you did help create this monster, and I don't know how how much I want to help you make money off of the results." And how much can he say that is juicy so quickly, with Mueller's investigation not yet over?

At the same time... I've always had a thing for tall men who are witty. His trolling of Trump, even if he's not on "our side", is hilarious, and if there's information his hand was forced in a way that concretely linked it to Russia... Sadly if it was, it probably won't be part of the book. If he's a good LE, he won't publish anything that could taint an ongoing investigation.

I could almost wish the announcement of the release date, even if it's not going to have anything juicy, is more trolling to make certain people sweat. Obviously Comey learned how to throw our pResident off-balance, and he'd know that off-balance suspects start making more mistakes. I could almost pre-order just to throw up sales revenue just to piss Trump off, but if so I'd rather donate it to a library if I was gonna spend money just to piss Trump off.

Thoughts? Seriously, am I still too bitter over him making statements too close to the election?

is the one he is getting ready to throw at the Tangerine Toddler and the rest of his syndicate.

But I'll probably read this one, too.

Unless he knows a timeline for the book you're referring to (aka, when the GoT meme with Gendry and the hammer from 7th season reaches the final frame, except it's Mueller time, not hammer time) we don't.
