A Higher Loyalty - James Comey

This was a really well written book by Comey, the former Deputy Attorney General and later FBI director.

He seems earnest, but there is still some part of me that thinks that he is justifying the actions he took as FBI leader which some claim cost Hillary Clinton the presidential election.

In this book, he talks about growing up on the east coast, and his stints as Deputy AG under the Bush administration where he had to deal with the legality of torture, FBI director under Obama where he had to deal with Martha Stewart's insider trading and Clinton's e-mail "scandal", and then as FBI director under Trump, arguably the most interesting part of the book.

I still loved reading it despite my hesitation that it might be one huge justification of the whole Clinton thing - in general I think it is pretty truthful but perhaps slanted on that one subject.
