Former FBI Director James Comey just released a new book called “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership,” a tome that the mainstream media started slobbering over, claiming it held major bombshells that could damage President Trump.

While that may be true in the fantasy land that exists in the minds of the liberal media, it’s far from the actual truth.

The Daily Wire has more:

But every supposed bombshell was a nothingburger. Let’s take a look at the claims that were supposed to shake the world:

1. Comey writes that when he had dinner with Trump, Trump asked him to investigate the unfounded charge from the infamous dossier that he had watched Russian prostitutes peeing:

He brought up what he called the “golden showers thing”: It bothered him if there was”’even a one percent chance” his wife, Melania, thought it was true. … He just rolled on, unprompted, explaining why it couldn’t possibly be true, ending by saying he was thinking of asking me to investigate the allegation to prove it was a lie. I said it was up to him.

CNN wrote breathlessly, “That Trump raised the specter of Comey using federal funds and time to prove to Melania Trump that the tape didn’t exist is absolutely stunning.”

And so … what?

2. The Daily Beast excitedly notes that Comey writes of a call he received from John Kelly, then the head of the Department of Homeland Security and now the White House chief of staff, in which Kelly was “emotional” over how Comey was fired. Comey writes that Kelly was “sick” about the situation and “intended to quit” in protest. Comey continues that Kelly “said he didn’t want to work for dishonorable people,” and that Comey encouraged Kelly to remain.

Why is this a nothingburger? Because, as The Daily Beast notes reluctantly, “The phone call was first reported by CNN last year,” before hedging, “But Comey’s book provides both on the record confirmation and additional details of the conversation.”

3. From The Washington Examiner, which titled their piece, “Here’s everything we know so far about James Comey’s bombshell book,” there were these bombshells:

In another excerpt, Comey ridiculed Trump for being shorter than he anticipated and described Trump as having “bright white half-moons” beneath his eyes. Additionally, he argued that Trump’s ties are “too long,” according to the Associated Press.

Wow. Just wow.

5. This isn’t a bombshell, but it is an incredible display of hypocrisy from Comey, as quoted in The New York Times:

As a prosecutor, Comey replied, he used to tell juries trying to evaluate a witness that “you can’t cherry-pick” — “You can’t say, ‘I like these things he said, but on this, he’s a dirty, rotten liar.’ You got to take it all together.”

Cherry-picking? Such as letting Hillary Clinton go free regarding the email scandal that left classified information open to enemies by claiming what mattered was her intent?

Mike Huckabee recently made an appearance on Sean Hannity’s television program and weighed in on the book:

Mike Huckabee on @seanhannity show: The media are never going to tell the things that you just outlined in terms of the accomplishment because it defies their narrative that he’s not a capable and competent president, but the record shows that he is.

The real question everyone should be asking about this book is why we should take it seriously or give anything in it any real weight or significance when this man clearly compromised his integrity during the investigation into Hillary Clinton back in 2016?

If he was willing to sell his values down river for the sake of a political agenda, how can anything he’s stating here be believed? The fact that he’s also stretching the truth some in the pages of this book only further serves to tarnish his already down-in-the-dumps reputation.

One of the most important things a person possesses is their word. Once trust is gone, it’s almost impossible to get it back. This is a lesson Comey has not learned.
