- But after Donald Trump became president, he was fired by the president.
- His last day as director of the FBI was on May 9, 2017.
- The event had brought big speculation in the country.
In media
Since he was fired, he has come into the spotlight a few times. Recently, there were interests developed, in his college days. Also, his forthcoming book is generating buzz in the country as well as abroad.
Education
James was a bright student and was always eager to learn more. He had attended Northern Highlands Regional High School in Allendale and had graduated from the College of William and Mary in 1982.
His major was in chemistry and religion. The curious and eager youth was still not satisfied with his degrees and knowledge. He joined the University of Chicago Law School and graduated with a Juris Doctor in 1985.
In college
Long before James has been one of the best-selling authors. He was an aspiring news reporter and columnist for his college paper. He was very much active and even could trigger debate overheated subjects of recent times.
As he went on to senior year, top staffers offered him to be editor-in-chief. But he had turned the offer down.
“People go out to eat at places besides Seven-Eleven and Hardees in Jersey. There is culture, public television, and cocktail parties. There is more entertainment than stock car racing and Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling. Nobody says, ‘Well, SHEET, I ain’t got no idear.’ ”

Topics he tackled
In the College of William and Mary during the early 1980s, he wrote articles that were a major concern not only on the campus but the nation. The articles were about the need to attract more black students to the school and concerns about the campus rape issue.
“For the sake of the whites who are here, the blacks who are here, the blacks who are not here, the state, and the nation, William and Mary needs more black students,”
This caused an uproar from other students and faculty and Comey was forced to defend himself while still arguing and supporting his claim in the form of a series.
He wrote on the campus rape issue in which the female victim was criticized because she was drunk.
“The incident is tragic and disturbing. It is not rare. some girl gets drunk at a party (usually with the encouragement of male guests) and is ‘used’ by one or more guys. ‘Used’ is not the correct term. ‘Raped’ is. ‘Sexually assaulted’ is.”
He also urged the victims to seek counseling, assistance, and the campus to be more compassionate.
The Flat Hat
He was also a columnist for the paper, The Flat Hat. In the paper he wrote in defense of his native New Jersey, complained about the need to get his bicycle registered with the police department, mocked “brownnoses” and even wrote about how good-looking the women were at William and Mary, comparing them to other certain schools.
“Girlwise, Harvard is desolate. There is very little grass in Harvard Yard; the coeds (we use the term loosely) ate it all. A large number of Harvard undergraduate men are unaware that the school went coed fifteen years ago.”
The book
His book “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership’’ is set to be released on April 17 of this year.
James’ accusations
Loretta Lynch, Former Attorney General has accused James which she revealed in an interview stating,
“Lynch had pressed him to downplay the significance of the Clinton email review in September 2015, just before a congressional hearing in which Comey was expected to be asked about the investigation. Comey said the moment led him to question her independence and contributed to his decision to unilaterally hold a press conference in July 2016 announcing the conclusions of the probe.”
