Mr. Comey served as director of the FBI from 2013 to 2017, appointed to the post by President Barack Obama.

James Comey, former FBI Director and New York Times bestselling author of A Higher Loyalty, uses his long career in federal law enforcement to explore issues of justice and fairness in the US justice system. James Comey might best be known as the FBI director that Donald Trump fired in 2017, but he’s had a long, varied career in the law and justice system. He knows better than most just what a force for good the US justice system can be, and how far afield it has strayed during the Trump Presidency. In his much-anticipated follow-up to A Higher Loyalty, Comey uses anecdotes and lessons from his career to show how the federal justice system works. From prosecuting mobsters as an Assistant US Attorney in the Southern District of New York in the 1980s to grappling with the legalities of anti-terrorism work as the Deputy Attorney General in the early 2000s to, of course, his tumultuous stint as FBI director beginning in 2013, Comey shows just how essential it is to pursue the primacy of truth for federal law enforcement. Saving Justice is gracefully written and honestly told, a clarion call for a return to fairness and equity in the law.

Als directeur van de FBI had James Comey nooit verwacht midden in de verkiezingsstrijd tussen Donald Trump en Hillary Clinton te belanden, en toch is dat precies wat er gebeurde. Hij speelde een sleutelrol in de onderzoeken naar de e-mails van Hillary Clinton en de connecties van het Trump-campagneteam met Rusland. Het eerste kostte Clinton waarschijnlijk het presidentschap; het laatste kostte Comey zijn baan. In Loyaliteit doet hij met vaardige pen en scherp observatievermogen verslag van die historische gebeurtenissen en van zijn eerdere carrière. Of hij nu vertelt over zijn confrontaties met de New Yorkse maffia of met de politieke top van George W. Bush, steeds onderzoekt hij de vraag: wat is een goed leider, en waar hoort diens loyaliteit te liggen?

Comment rester loyal envers les valeurs que vous avez défendues toute votre vie, même quand cette loyauté peut entraîner votre perte ? Le jour où Donald Trump a congédié James Comey, alors directeur du FBI, en mai 2017, il a déclenché un gigantesque incendie politique. Celui qui s’est retrouvé au cœur des flammes a gardé le silence – jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Dans ce livre très attendu, l’ancien patron du FBI raconte pour la première fois le rôle historique qu’il a joué lors de l’élection présidentielle de 2016. Tout au long de sa carrière, il s’est illustré en prenant des décisions cruciales dans les affaires criminelles les plus controversées, qu’il s’agisse des conflits avec la mafia, de la lutte contre le terrorisme après les attentats du 11 septembre, des positions de Dick Cheney et George Bush sur la torture ou de l’enquête sur les courriels classifiés d’Hillary Clinton durant les derniers mois de l’administration Obama. Mais surtout James Comey revient en détail sur ses différentes rencontres avec le président Donald Trump à qui il a refusé les gages de « loyauté » qui lui étaient demandés – un geste qui lui a coûté très cher. Tout au long de cet ouvrage exceptionnel, fourmillant de révélations, il témoigne de l’importance vitale qu’il y a pour tous les dirigeants comme pour chaque citoyen à encourager une culture qui place la vérité au sommet de leur échelle de valeurs.

In a new legal thriller by the former director of the FBI, federal prosecutor Nora Carleton and legendary investigator Benny Dugan confront a deadly sect of political extremists.

Kun vastavalittu presidentti Donald Trump vaati FBI:n johtajalta James Comeyltä täydellistä lojaaliutta, ei tämä voinut sitä luvata. ”Huoneeseen laskeutui hiljaisuus, jonka aikana en liikkunut, puhunut tai muuttanut ilmettäni. En voisi suostua vaatimukseen, en koskaan. Katselimme toisiamme silmästä silmään ikuisuudelta tuntuvan ajan. Muistan ajatelleeni, että presidentillä ei ollut hajuakaan FBI:n roolista amerikkalaisessa järjestelmässä. Ei hajuakaan.” Trump irtisanoi Comeyn toukokuussa 2017. Kohumuistelmissaan James Comey paljastaa Yhdysvaltain poliittisen lähihistorian kiperimmät käänteet ja kertoo suorin sanoin, millaisen johtajan maa on Donald Trumpista saanut. Liittovaltion poliisin entinen johtaja vertaa Trumpia mafiapomoihin ja sanoo tämän olevan moraalisesti sopimaton presidentiksi. Kirjassan James Comey haastaa Trumpin arvovallan ja nöyryyttävän käyttäytymisen kesken kiivainta Venäjä-tutkintaa. Pitkän uran lakimiehenä, syyttäjänä ja korkeiden virkojen haltijana tehnyt James Comey toimi Barack Obaman nimittämänä FBI:n johtajana vuodesta 2013 vuoteen 2017. Suoralinjaisen ja suorapuheisen tutkijan uran varrelle on mahtunut useita korkean profiilin tapauksia. Hän on mm. toiminut syyttäjänä mafiaa vastaan, ollut muuttamassa George W. Bushin hallinnon kidutus- ja valvontakäytäntöjä ja johtanut niin Hillary Clintonin sähköpostitutkintaa kuin Trumpin vaalikampanjan Venäjä-kytköksiäkin. Kahden vuosikymmenen kokemuksella Comey kuljettaa lukijaa vallan käytävillä ja kulissien takana osoittaakseen, mitä on hyvä johtajuus ja mitä se vallanpitäjiltä edellyttää.

Strhující pohled do zákulisí americké politiky Kniha bývalého šéfa FBI Jamese Comeyho se stala bestsellerem ještě před vydáním. Comey v ní kritizuje současného prezidenta Donalda Trumpa, kterého považuje za zdroj nebezpečného chaosu. Jeho vzpomínky ale sahají mnohem dál než k současné hlavě Bílého domu, dostane se i na George W. Bushe, Baracka Obamu a ke kauze uniklých mailů Hillary Clintonové. Své počínání vysvětluje tím, že smyslem služby státu je vyšší zájem, povznesený nad stranické loajality.

Der amerikanische Rechtsstaat ist nach Ende der Ära Donald Trump am Abgrund. Zum Beginn der Amtszeit von Präsident Joe Biden zeigt der Ex-FBI-Direktor James Comey, wie eine gerechte Justiz funktionieren muss. Egal, ob der Gegner die Mafia, Drogendealer oder die Führungszirkel im Staatsapparat sind: Nur die Wahrheit kann jetzt die USA noch retten. »Der Sturm auf das Kapitol ist unser Tschernobyl-Moment.« - James Comey »Es ist Zeit, dass Amerika einen gefallenen und korrupten Präsidenten hinter sich lässt und mit dem Wiederaufbau beginnt. Es gibt viel zu tun, aber das Rezept ist einfach: Sagt dem amerikanischen Volk die Wahrheit, und nichts als die Wahrheit.« - James Comey Beeindruckende Fälle aus der Laufbahn des großen Juristen und Kriminalisten James Comey New York City, Langley und Washington D.C. - der Staatsanwalt und FBI-Direktor auf der Suche nach der Wahrheit James Comey ist Trump-Kritiker #1 und zeigt, wie ein zerrissenes Land unter Joe Biden seine Wunden heilen kann »Als ehemaliger Staatsanwalt weiß ich, dass Opfer von Betrügern oft die Letzten sind, die den Betrug realisieren wollen. Ich hatte Fälle, wo die Opfer sich noch vor Gericht für den Täter verwandt haben, weil dessen Lügen Teil ihrer Identität geworden waren und sie das nicht zugeben konnten. Unsere Langzeit-Aufgabe wird es sein, die Menschen, die Trumps Lügen verfallen sind, wieder zurück in die Realität zu holen.« - James Comey Die Rechtsstaatlichkeit ist das Fundament der Demokratie, sie schützt ihre Bürger. Doch nach vier Jahren Trump hat dieses Fundament tiefe Risse - der Rechtsstaat steht auf dem Spiel. James Comey, Ex-Direktor des FBI und einer der bekanntesten Kritiker des US-Präsidenten Donald Trump, ist überzeugt: Nur der unbedingte Wille zur Wahrheit und Transparenz kann das Land nach den Trump-Jahren noch retten. So zeigt James Comey anhand seiner spektakulärsten Fälle als Staatsanwalt und FBI-Chef ganz konkret, wie Ermittlungsbehörden, Strafverteidiger, Richter und Jurys in den USA gemeinsam für Gerechtigkeit kämpfen. Zugleich legt er offen, wie die Trump-Administration dieses Justiz-System angreift und die Wahrheit bekämpft - mit undurchsichtigen Manövern, alternativen Fakten und Hinterzimmer-Deals. Comeys Buch ist nicht nur eine mitreißende Darstellung von Kriminalfällen, sondern ein leidenschaftlicher Appell gegen die Rechtsbeugung und die Unterwanderung der Justiz: das Vertrauen in das Recht muss nach Trump wieder zum Fixstern allen staatlichen Handelns werden. »Dieses Buch ist der Versuch, uns daran zu erinnern, wie unsere Justiz funktionieren sollte und wie sich die führenden Köpfe verhalten müssen.« - James Comey

These are the declassified Memos by James Comey about his private conversations with President Donald Trump. James Comey served as the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) from September 4, 2013-May 9, 2017. He wrote these formerly classified memos about his private meetings and conversations with Donald J. Trump before he was fired by Donald J. Trump. Comey has said that the President wanted him to pledge personal loyalty to the President Trump and not to the American people and the U.S. Constitution. In addition, Comey alleges that Donald Trump tried to get him to drop the investigation of Micheal Flynn, Trump''s first National Security Advisor, who allegedly lied about phone conversations with a Russian Ambassador about sanctions. General Flynn admitted to lying to the FBI and is believed to be a cooperating witness into the Russia probe into the Trump Campaign. James Comey''s formerly classified memos were leaked to the media on April 19, 2018. Comey sent these memos after his meetings and conversations with Donald Trump to Deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe, FBI Chief of Staff James E Rybicki, and FBI General Counsel James A. Baker. Comey is hated by Republicans for being the catalyst for the appointment of the special counsel Robert Mueller, another former FBI director, in the Russian investigation. He is hated by Democrats for his public reopening and closing into the Hilary Clinton e-mail investigation within 11 days of the 2016 presidential election. Democrats believe that act handed the election to Donald J. Trump, who lost the popular vote by about 3 million votes despite winning the electoral college. Comey was fired by Donald Trump in May 2017 and the special counsel was appointed by deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein soon after when President Trump made statements to Russian diplomats in the Oval Office and to Lester Holt of NBC news that indicated that Trump fired Comey to make the Russia Investigation go away.Because these memos were U.S. Government work product they are in the public domain.Below is Comey''s testimony confirming the Russia Investigation to Congress prior to his firing:"Statement Before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI)Washington, D.C.March 20, 2017HPSCI Hearing Titled Russian Active Measures InvestigationMr. Chairman, Ranking Member Schiff, members of the committee, thank you for including me in today''s hearing. I''m honored to be here representing the people of the FBI.I hope we have shown you through our actions and our words how much we at the FBI value your oversight of our work and how much we respect your responsibility to investigate those things that are important to the American people. Thank you for showing that both are being taken very seriously.As you know, our practice is not to confirm the existence of ongoing investigations, especially those investigations that involve classified matters, but in unusual circumstances where it is in the public interest, it may be appropriate to do so as Justice Department policies recognize. This is one of those circumstances.I have been authorized by the Department of Justice to confirm that the FBI, as part of our counterintelligence mission, is investigating the Russian government''s efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, and that includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia''s efforts. As with any counterintelligence investigation, this will also include an assessment of whether any crimes were committed.Because it is an open, ongoing investigation and is classified, I cannot say more about what we are doing and whose conduct we are examining..."
