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 U.S. 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.
Reviews
Praise for Saving Justice
"Comey revealed the crucial moments of his confrontation with the president in his 2018 memoir, A Higher Loyalty. They are rehashed here, but within the context of a larger theme: the national descent from strict, fact-based truth into a feckless mirage of 'truthiness,' to use Stephen Colbert's brilliant formulation. Can an institution religiously devoted to the truth, like the Justice Department, survive in a democracy where vast numbers of people believe that the 2020 election was a fraud?"—The New York Times
"Comey’s book is paean to America’s institutions at a time when they need reinforcement."—The Guardian
