James Comey, former FBI Director and New York Times bestselling author of A Higher Loyalty, uses his long career in federal law enforcement to explore issues of justice and fairness in the US justice system. 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 US 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.

Comment rester loyal envers les valeurs que vous avez défendues toute votre vie, même quand cette loyauté peut entraîner votre perte ? Le jour où Donald Trump a congédié James Comey, alors directeur du FBI, en mai 2017, il a déclenché un gigantesque incendie politique. Celui qui s’est retrouvé au cœur des flammes a gardé le silence – jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Dans ce livre très attendu, l’ancien patron du FBI raconte pour la première fois le rôle historique qu’il a joué lors de l’élection présidentielle de 2016. Tout au long de sa carrière, il s’est illustré en prenant des décisions cruciales dans les affaires criminelles les plus controversées, qu’il s’agisse des conflits avec la mafia, de la lutte contre le terrorisme après les attentats du 11 septembre, des positions de Dick Cheney et George Bush sur la torture ou de l’enquête sur les courriels classifiés d’Hillary Clinton durant les derniers mois de l’administration Obama. Mais surtout James Comey revient en détail sur ses différentes rencontres avec le président Donald Trump à qui il a refusé les gages de « loyauté » qui lui étaient demandés – un geste qui lui a coûté très cher. Tout au long de cet ouvrage exceptionnel, fourmillant de révélations, il témoigne de l’importance vitale qu’il y a pour tous les dirigeants comme pour chaque citoyen à encourager une culture qui place la vérité au sommet de leur échelle de valeurs.

Als directeur van de FBI had James Comey nooit verwacht midden in de verkiezingsstrijd tussen Donald Trump en Hillary Clinton te belanden, en toch is dat precies wat er gebeurde. Hij speelde een sleutelrol in de onderzoeken naar de e-mails van Hillary Clinton en de connecties van het Trump-campagneteam met Rusland. Het eerste kostte Clinton waarschijnlijk het presidentschap; het laatste kostte Comey zijn baan. In Loyaliteit doet hij met vaardige pen en scherp observatievermogen verslag van die historische gebeurtenissen en van zijn eerdere carrière. Of hij nu vertelt over zijn confrontaties met de New Yorkse maffia of met de politieke top van George W. Bush, steeds onderzoekt hij de vraag: wat is een goed leider, en waar hoort diens loyaliteit te liggen?

Kun vastavalittu presidentti Donald Trump vaati FBI:n johtajalta James Comeyltä täydellistä lojaaliutta, ei tämä voinut sitä luvata. ”Huoneeseen laskeutui hiljaisuus, jonka aikana en liikkunut, puhunut tai muuttanut ilmettäni. En voisi suostua vaatimukseen, en koskaan. Katselimme toisiamme silmästä silmään ikuisuudelta tuntuvan ajan. Muistan ajatelleeni, että presidentillä ei ollut hajuakaan FBI:n roolista amerikkalaisessa järjestelmässä. Ei hajuakaan.” Trump irtisanoi Comeyn toukokuussa 2017. Kohumuistelmissaan James Comey paljastaa Yhdysvaltain poliittisen lähihistorian kiperimmät käänteet ja kertoo suorin sanoin, millaisen johtajan maa on Donald Trumpista saanut. Liittovaltion poliisin entinen johtaja vertaa Trumpia mafiapomoihin ja sanoo tämän olevan moraalisesti sopimaton presidentiksi. Kirjassan James Comey haastaa Trumpin arvovallan ja nöyryyttävän käyttäytymisen kesken kiivainta Venäjä-tutkintaa. Pitkän uran lakimiehenä, syyttäjänä ja korkeiden virkojen haltijana tehnyt James Comey toimi Barack Obaman nimittämänä FBI:n johtajana vuodesta 2013 vuoteen 2017. Suoralinjaisen ja suorapuheisen tutkijan uran varrelle on mahtunut useita korkean profiilin tapauksia. Hän on mm. toiminut syyttäjänä mafiaa vastaan, ollut muuttamassa George W. Bushin hallinnon kidutus- ja valvontakäytäntöjä ja johtanut niin Hillary Clintonin sähköpostitutkintaa kuin Trumpin vaalikampanjan Venäjä-kytköksiäkin. Kahden vuosikymmenen kokemuksella Comey kuljettaa lukijaa vallan käytävillä ja kulissien takana osoittaakseen, mitä on hyvä johtajuus ja mitä se vallanpitäjiltä edellyttää.

Strhující pohled do zákulisí americké politiky Kniha bývalého šéfa FBI Jamese Comeyho se stala bestsellerem ještě před vydáním. Comey v ní kritizuje současného prezidenta Donalda Trumpa, kterého považuje za zdroj nebezpečného chaosu. Jeho vzpomínky ale sahají mnohem dál než k současné hlavě Bílého domu, dostane se i na George W. Bushe, Baracka Obamu a ke kauze uniklých mailů Hillary Clintonové. Své počínání vysvětluje tím, že smyslem služby státu je vyšší zájem, povznesený nad stranické loajality.
