When asked about Russian Federation and Trump, Comey said he isn't sure if the special counsel will find anything on the president.
"I think he's morally unfit to be president", Comey told ABC.
The kickoff of James Comey's media blitz for his new memoir was met with a furious response from President Trump yesterday - an indication that the public battle between the president and the former Federal Bureau of Investigation director that he fired is at a new launching point. "Values matter. This President does not reflect the values of this country". "Lot more flexibility there", Comey said, adding that "they're still required to tell the truth". "This president is not able to do that", Comey said.
From the NYT's recap of the ABC interview, Comey also thinks there might be an obstruction case: "Mr. Comey says that Mr. Trump asked him to drop the F.B.I.'s investigation of Michael T. Flynn, the former national security adviser, after a White House meeting with Mr. Trump and other senior officials".
All rather ironic then that probably more than anyone else, James Comey made Donald Trump President of the United States.
The president lashed out at Comey in a series of tweets earlier Sunday, saying that the probe was handled "stupidly" and calling Comey a "slime ball". And after Stephanopoulos noted that the president denied asking him to bag the Flynn probe, Comey replied, "Well, what am I going to do?" "I remember thinking, 'How could your wife think there's a 1 per cent chance you were with prostitutes peeing on each other in Moscow?' " he said, adding that his assessment was it's possible Trump is guilty of the accusation.
Mueller is investigating alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election and any potential ties between Trump campaign and Russia.
"Comey says he did not want to be political, yet so far every decision appears based on the assumption that he expected her to win", Maccallum tweeted.
Stephanopoulos asked "Why is President Trump so reluctant to call out Vladimir Putin?"

Corbin took to Twitter to post her delight, saying: "Words can not describe this feeling.WE ARE COMMONWEALTH CHAMPIONS!" I've dreamed of this for a long time.
Hours before the interview was shown, the president, who fired Comey a year ago, unleashed a Twitter outburst that labeled Comey "slippery", suggested he should be put in jail and branded him "the WORST FBI Director in history, by far!"
Comey's interview comes ahead of the publication of his book "A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership"- a title he says was influenced by a conversation with Mr. Trump when he was invited to dine at the White House in January 2017.
Comey testified past year that after he was sacked from his post, he asked his "close friend", Columbia University Law Professor Daniel Richman, to share the contents of a memo with notes of one of his first meetings with Trump.
Comey also said that serving in Trump's administration poses a serious ethical dilemma.
"I think it's possible".
Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch is defending her actions in the Hillary Clinton email investigation following criticism from former FBI Director James Comey.
Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Sanders said Comey was "a self-admitted leaker".
In his press tour, Comey is sure to be asked to weigh in on Trump and the various twists and turns in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election as well as any potential links between Russia and Trump campaign associates. "No FBI director has ever been fired as he was investigating a president", Stephanopoulos told CNNMoney. Clinton said that decision helped cost her the election.
Trump on Sunday pushed back again against Comey's claims that Trump sought his loyalty, saying, "I hardly even knew this guy".
