Former FBI Director James Comey isn’t sure what’s next for him. But one thing is clear: He’s going to help remove Trump from the presidency.
“I feel stuck,” Comey said in a candid, nearly two-hour interview with The New York Times at his Northern Virginia home. “Like I can’t do something else. And I couldn’t look myself in the mirror if I went and did something easy.”
It wasn’t entirely clear in the interview how Comey will lend his hand in removing Trump from office, but the 58-year-old said he’d be willing to appear at the Democratic candidate’s stump speeches or even the party’s nominating convention. The former registered Republican also donated money to former law school classmate and Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Amy Klohbuchar of Minnesota.
Comey said he has no plans to run for office, but he will be writing opining pieces for The Washington Post.
“I have a fantasy about on January 21, 2021, deleting my Twitter and moving on to something else,” Comey said. “But until then, I can’t.”
When asked about his controversial, potentially election-turning decision to reveal information about the Hillary Clinton email investigation in October 2016, Comey responded, “I wish like hell we hadn’t been involved.”
Comey believes the decision to choose transparency over concealment won’t hurt his legacy.
“I was going to say I don’t care. I’m sure I care a little,” adding, “It frustrates me in general that millions of people have a false impression of me. I wish they knew I was funnier.”
