Who’s up for a four-hour miniseries about the life and times of James Comey starring Jeff Daniels?

The casting, at least, is inspired. They got Jeff Daniels, known for lecturing sanctimoniously about politics as Will McAvoy on “The Newsroom,” for the part of Comey. “The Comey role is kind of on the nose for Daniels, who already won an Emmy playing a Republican who’s not a Republican prone to noxious bromides about the American way,” notes David Rutz. They may have been stuck with Daniels for sheer physical reasons, actually. Not only does he bear a vague resemblance to Comey (good enough for TV miniseries work), at 6’3 he’s within spitting distance of Comey’s Lurch-y 6’8 frame. The elevated walkways laid down on set for Daniels to trod won’t need to be quite as elevated as for most other actors.

The miniseries is based on Comey’s own book and the screenwriter spent time with the man himself, so, yes, this will very much be a “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” treatment of the main character.

They ought to get Jim Carrey to play John Brennan. Dumb and Dumber.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

He can reprise Harry Dunne's Turbo-Lax scene as kind of a metaphor of his time as FBI Director.

"Stormy" would be a more accurate representation than Jeff.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

This will be a big hit for people who believed every word in Comey's big book of lies.
For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16
I will NOT comply.

Did it sell very well? Or did it flop like the book by those NYT liars?

I think it sold well.  Political hit books sell because one side or another is buying them to make a statement, very few are actually being read.  Former Rat Speaker Jim Wright sold books of his speeches by the truckload to single customers, like Unions.  He made no attempt to hide this was just a transfer of money to himself. 

And there are lots of people who despise Trump so much they want to believe every word, even words that have need debunked.  You don't have to trick people who want to be tricked.

I think many liberals have to have the books they buy read to them. Very slowly.

That would explain the audio-book sales.  And the coloring books.



And a bargain, only six bucks and four bits!

Probably some awards ceremony nerds. It's fishing for an Emmy or maybe a Golden Globe.
