My take on this article has nothing to do with whether Comey is against Pres Trump or not. For me it is about how far outside the box Comey colored.
As a U.S. tax payer, I fully expect that the individuals that lead the federal agencies will discharge their duties in a fair and equitable manner no matter how painful it maybe to them.
There is no room in our society for the politicization of these positions of power. If allowed we are headed down a road of no return.
If a person feels that politicization of the positions of power is acceptable then that person is part of the problem.

With all due respect Burner, sounds to me like you're describing Donald and not Comey.
1. Donald doesn't do any of his thinking inside the box. He said it himself, he likes chaos!
2. Trump's detractors, and not the media, but the masses of people that didn't vote for him think his agenda favors the wealthiest people in the country and not the middle class eg tax cut. Most of these same people don't think being 'equitable' is even in his vocabulary.
(Omit joke "along with many other words ")
3. Polarization is at the core of Donalds success. You do see that, right?
Since our country's inception, federal employees have of course held personal political opinions. I agree that federal agents should never act on their partisan motives. But I dont see comey as someone with a political agenda. Just a personal one.
Is Comey a grandstander, sure, an entrepreneur yep, a Republican that helped Donald win the election, that too. His strong, granted, profitible objection to Donald is NOT based at all on Donald's politics, it's based on his character.
I'm not condoning the timing of the book or much of what he's been saying (small hands etc) but I think the message he's sending is apolitical and frighteningly valid. He's a whistle blower the way I see it. In the final analysis I see a flawed patriot.
One last thing: nowadays everyone seems to have an agenda. Even fact check sites. Do I know Comey so well that I can vouch for him entirely? Course not.
