Why should anyone believe James Comey?

Fired FBI Director James Comey is having another moment in the spotlight with the premiere of a new movie, The Comey Rule, on Showtime. The makers fought to have the picture air before the Nov. 3 election, in hopes that it would become “part of the conversation” when the nation votes. By that, they mean they hope it will contribute to President Trump’s defeat.

As it turns out, there is a more compelling portrait of Comey out at the same time, one that, perhaps unwittingly, casts serious doubt on the credibility of Comey’s carefully planned campaign against Trump in the first half of 2017.
