'No Bombshells': Wallace Says Comey's Book Doesn't 'Change the Equation' for Trump

[K. Boomsma]

"Fox News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace said there are no
bombshells in former FBI Director James Comey's new book that
details his private conversations with President Trump and his
role in the Hillary Clinton email and Russia investigations.

Wallace said he hasn't read the book, but based on just-released
excerpts, it appears to primarily consist of Comey's
unflattering opinions of the president.

According to the excerpts, Comey says Trump is "untethered to
truth" and "ego-driven," describing his presidency as a "forest
fire."

Comey also compares the president to a mob boss, accuses him of
being unconcerned with Russia's election interference and
recalls Trump requesting that the FBI investigate salacious
allegations about his actions with Russian prostitutes.

"It seems to me that the real story in this book is that there's
no new hard evidence of any crime, of anything illegal, and it
doesn't really change the equation on President Trump," Wallace
said.

He said he is also struck by the "b*tchy" tone of Comey's
writing, suggesting that by involving himself in the "political
food fight," Comey may have done more damage to his own
reputation than he has to Trump's.

Wallace noted that Trump took to Twitter to slam Comey on Friday
morning, calling the former FBI director a "leaker [and] liar"
who botched the Clinton email investigation.

James Comey is a proven LEAKER & LIAR. Virtually everyone in
Washington thought he should be fired for the terrible job he
did-until he was, in fact, fired. He leaked CLASSIFIED
information, for which he should be prosecuted. He lied to
Congress under OATH. He is a weak and.....

....untruthful slime ball who was, as time has proven, a
terrible Director of the FBI. His handling of the Crooked
Hillary Clinton case, and the events surrounding it, will go
down as one of the worst “botch jobs” of history. It was my
great honor to fire James Comey!

"All he's doing is helping to sell books," Wallace said. "He
probably ought to be quiet. I suspect this book will disappear
within a week."
