The Comey Rule

James Comey interviews with President Obama and lands the job of a lifetime, Director of the FBI. But two years into his tenure,  the Bureau is plunged into two hugely controversial cases: "Midyear Exam," the investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails while serving as Secretary of State, and "Crossfire Hurricane," an investigation into Russia's ongoing attempts to derail the Presidential Election of 2016. Comey's decisions on those two cases will alter both his place in history and history itself.

James Comey's FBI continues treading a dangerous path between two politically charged cases: the investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails and Russian interference in the 2016 election. As possibly explosive new evidence against Clinton emerges just days before the election, Comey must thread a needle between upholding the law and influencing the outcome.

As President Trump takes office, Comey must contend with security and protocol violations, culminating in a deeply uncomfortable White House dinner.

President Trump exerts pressure on Comey to do his political bidding; meanwhile, the director faces opposition from within the Department of Justice.
