The Facts: Chronologically speaking, the earliest event in both A Higher Loyalty and The Comey Rule is sort of an origin story. In 1977, when he was 16, Comey and his younger brother were held captive at gunpoint by an alleged serial rapist who’d been preying on their New Jersey neighborhood. He locked the Comey brothers in a bathroom and captured ...
James Comey’s wife, Patrice (Jennifer Ehle), and three of the couple’s children appear in the miniseries. Their opinions about Comey’s actions line up with A Higher Loyalty, as does the preelection scene in which someone approaches Comey and his family at a restaurant to express their displeasure at Comey’s handling of Operation Midyear Exam. The s...
The Facts: The Comey Rule portrays Comey’s relationship with President Barack Obama exactly the way Comey does in his book: deliberately distant. The show depicts one of two Oval Office meetings Comey had with the president while being considered for the position of FBI director, and, except for that exposition dump about the Ramsey Rapist, closely...
The Facts: The first episode of The Comey Rule revolves around two investigations the FBI conducted in the closing days of the 2016 election, one of which was Operation Midyear Exam, the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified material while serving as secretary of state. Comey’s account of this investigation in A Higher L...
The Facts: Lisa Page and Peter Strzok’s extramarital affair has been exhaustively hashed over in a variety of official reports, congressional hearings, and dubiously sourced Facebook posts, but given that The Comey Rule gives the duo several hotel room scenes, it seems worth noting that Comey doesn’t talk about them in his memoir. In fact, he allud...
The Facts: In the show’s single most questionable departure from the historical record, The Comey Rule has a scene of Comey visiting the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, after the 2016 mass shooting, looking sadly over a floor strewn with bodies and asking to gather the first responders so he could thank them. Comey did visit Orlandoto thank fi...
The Facts: As with Hillary Clinton’s emails, The Comey Rule closely follows A Higher Loyalty’s narrative of the investigation into the Trump campaign’s contacts with the Russians. It’s possible that, in real life, Mike Flynn came off a little better than he does on the show during his meeting with Vladimir Putin or his phone call with Sergey Kislya...
The Facts: Night two of The Comey Rule focuses on Comey’s relationship with the Trump administration in the months before Trump fired him. By now, you will not be surprised to hear that the show closely follows Comey’s memoir in portraying these events. Comey’s big scenes with Trump are the meeting at which the FBI briefed the campaign on the Russi...
The Facts: This incident was exactly as shoddy and pettyas it comes off in the miniseries, complete with Trump getting mad that the FBI let Comey fly home on an official plane instead of stranding him in Florida. A Response From the President:
The Facts: Although it is based on James Comey’s memoir, The Comey Rule uses Rod Rosenstein as a pseudo-narrator, which gives the filmmakers a perspective from which to criticize Comey for his moralizing. As seen in the miniseries, Rosenstein wrote a memo about Comey’s performance that led to his firing, but Rosenstein was horrified and embarrassed...
Jun 5, 2023 · The headline on the review over at Bloomberg was similarly to the point: “Former FBI Director James Comey Has Written a Very Bad Crime Novel.” Is it really that bad?

Apr 27, 2018 · The book, which was announced last August, took the former F.B.I. director about six months to complete: “It was a continuous process of writing and then getting feedback from my wife and kids...
