WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
Let’s take a closer look.
James Comey, Director – FIRED
Having a grand time posting on Twitter and writing and speaking around the world on ethical leadership. His book, “A Higher Loyalty” published by Macmillan, reportedly struck a $2 million advance and had an initial print run of an incredible 850,000 copies. He went on to sell the film rights to “A Higher Loyalty” for an undisclosed amount, which will be a miniseries based on the book. It is scripted and directed by Oscar-nominated writer/director Billy Ray with Jeff Daniels as James Comey and Brendan Gleeson as President Donald Trump. Filming began in Toronto in November 2019.
Andrew McCabe, Deputy Director - FIRED
By now, he has started receiving his estimated $1.8 million pension (that was reportedly lost forever when he was fired, but that turned out to be fake news). Hopefully he didn’t have to wait too long but since federal retirement benefits are vested, he was never in jeopardy of losing them. He also had plenty of time to write “The Threat” published by St. Martin’s Press, which was an instant hit. The book sold more than 109,000 copies shortly after debuting, and his memoir ended the long reign of Michelle Obama’s “Becoming” as #1 on Amazon’s best sellers list. What an amazing feat for a Republican!
Jim Rybicki, Chief of Staff and Senior Counselor – FIRED
Apparently, he is an attorney working in the corporate sector and his license is active in the District of Columbia, but it’s not easy to find what firm he is working for. He also claims he was not fired but was planning to leave at least a month prior to his resignation so his transition to that cushy job was already planned in advance.
James Baker, General Counsel – FIRED
We can’t worry about this old goat getting by. He’s currently the Director of National Security & Cybersecurity at the R Street Institute and a Lecturer on Law at Harvard Law School. He also has a contract as a CNN Legal Analyst and book offers are coming in.
Bill Priestap, Director of Counterintelligence (Strzok’s boss) – FIRED
This savvy player is currently a Centennial Fellow at the Georgetown University Walsh School of Foreign Service. Thankfully, he doesn’t need to worry much about where his next meal is coming from. He’s married to Sabina Menschel, the current head of the Washington, D.C. office of Nardello & Co, a detective agency. Way back when, she was also a Special Advisor in the Directorate of Intelligence at the FBI. Her father, Richard Menschel, is a Goldman Sachs investment banker, philanthropist and political donor, as is her uncle Robert Menschel. And don’t forget that Bill’s mother-in-law, Ronay A. Menschel, was a deputy mayor of New York City under Ed Koch.
Look at them smile. Look at them next to the American flag. I can’t bear to finish the rest on the list right now. Hopefully their “bios” will be changing again soon, and not for the better!
