Friend of James Comey says former FBI director was ‘disgusted’ when President Trump forced a hug on him in White House

Former FBI Director James Comey was "disgusted" by a hug the President Trump tried to coax out of him, a friend of the ousted official told PBS "NewsHour."

Benjamin Wittes, a Brookings Institution fellow, said that in the infamous meeting earlier this year in which Trump attempted to hug Comey — calling the FBI official “more famous than me” — the latter believed he’d been purposely compromised in public.

Comey had already become a controversial election-time figure when he renewed the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal shortly before Trump’s electoral college victory in November.

Comey’s attempt in the White House meeting to remain positioned as far away from the President as possible was poised to keep the agent neutral and reduce any sensitivity many voters and/or Democrats felt about Trump’s victory, Wittes said.

The meeting was set to honor law enforcement officials who worked Trump’s inauguration, but Wittes said that Comey “really did not want to go.”

His attempt to distance himself from the President failed when Trump called him over — across the room. The former FBI director had been trying to “blend in” near the curtains, which matched the similar blue color of his blazer.

Wittes, however, said at 6-foot-8-inches, it’s difficult to remain hidden for long. Nevertheless, Wittes said Comey had tried to act like a “chameleon” and use “camouflage.”

Then, after being summoned, Comey preemptively reached for a handshake. Trump, however, appeared to pull Comey toward him for a completely one-sided hug.

If there is any truth to Benjamin Wittes's claims, then his friend Comey is a lunatic.

Comey tried to "camouflage" himself by standing near blue curtains?
Really?
Is this some three year old pretend-playing SuperHero Chameleon, or he the Director of the FBI?

But let's look at a photo taken as President Trump greeted several officials at the Inaugural Law Enforcement and First Responders Reception:



There Comey is (tall guy, center-frame, in front of the window) "trying to 'blend in' near the curtains, which matched the similar blue color of his blazer."

So in his near-perfect camouflage, Comey is hiding front-and-center. He is standing right next to Secretary of Homeland Security General John Kelly. General Kelly is being called forward for a personal thank-you by the President.

Interestingly, everyone else in the room seems to be wearing the Comey camouflage too. It amazing we can see any of them.
