At a Barnes & Noble outlet in Manhattan last night,

conservative firebrand Laura Loomer called out former
FBI Director James Comey, who is currently promoting
his book, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership.
Robert
Jonathan The pro-Trump Loomer was quickly ushered out of the
event during which Comey apparently only answered pre-
screened, written queries.

Described by The Hill as a “self-proclaimed investigative

journalist,” Loomer rushed the stage last June to protest
the assassination scene in a Shakespeare in the Park
production of Julius Caesar at the Delacorte Theater in
which an actor dressed up like Donald Trump was stabbed
to death in the play.

Before she was kicked out of the bookstore, the

controversial Loomer shouted several questions (see video
clip embedded below) to James Comey during last night’s

As the Washington Post reported in October 2017, the

Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National
Committee paid a former British spy with Kremlin
contacts about $9 million for the famous or infamous
dossier that seems to have gotten the ball rolling on the
Russia collusion allegations in the first place, in the
context of FISA surveillance warrants. The FBI also
chipped in.

Loomer was separately alluding to the 11 House

Republicans who believe that Comey was less than
forthcoming when testifying on Capitol Hill.

People are submitting lots of questions in a glass bowl

This is occurring against the backdrop of possible criminal

charges against ex-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe
for allegedly lying about media leaks and the Justice
Department release to Congress of unredacted James
Comey memos about his meetings with President Trump,
four of which Comey allegedly gave to a friend to leak to
the media.

James Comey inspires mixed feelings across the

ideological spectrum. Now that he has become President
Trump’s nemesis, he is favored by the liberal cohort,
although many still blame him for Hillary Clinton’s loss
when he reopened the email investigation 11 days before
the 2016 presidential election. Those on the right are
outraged that he drafted an exoneration letter for Clinton
well before the FBI even interviewed the former secretary
of state or various other witnesses.

The response to his media tour has also been ambivalent,

the New York Times noted.

“
“While Mr. Comey’s book has been an undisputed commercial
success, the reaction in political and news media circles has been
mixed. Some have praised Mr. Comey’s forthrightness, but others
have criticized his wall-to-wall TV appearances as a self-
aggrandizing publicity stunt that has exacerbated the already
strained relations between Mr. Trump and the nation’s law
enforcement agencies.”

Anti-Trump web outlets, such as Slate and the Daily Kos,

have also leveled criticism at Comey for the way he has
conducted himself, evasive or otherwise, during book tour
interviews.

In addition, George Washington University Law Professor

Jonathan Turley has implied that by rushing his “self-
serving” memoir into print to cash in, Comey might have
compromised the Mueller investigation.

Laura Loomer, who rejects alt-right or far-right labeling,

and has also shown up at Hillary Clinton book signings in
a form of performance art that has become known as
being “Loomered,” has spent time in Las Vegas, where she
has accused authorities of a coverup in the investigation of
the October 1 mass shooting there.
