One rx to the Graham piece you linked to, moat, comes from reading this part of the article:

Trump has repeatedly assailed Comey as a leaker and liar. The memos only offer Comey’s side of the story, so there’s no way to firmly adjudicate the latter claim based on the documents alone. As for the former, Trump comes across as not just amenable to but encouraging of leaks. Comey records several occasions where Trump effectively asked Comey to leak to the press that he, Trump, was not personally under investigation. After a March 30, 2017, meeting, Comey wrote this:

Comey had already informed Trump that any such move would have to be cleared through the Justice Department, so the president’s request—“get [it] out”—reads as a request for a leak. The following month, Trump again brought up the issue, and Comey deflected by insisting that any announcement would have to go through the acting attorney general:

So if I am understanding the facts correctly, Comey had no issue whatever with telling Trump that he could not share with the press that Trump was not personally under investigation without clearing this with his superior (he was not evidently referring to God in this case).  He had to follow protocol.

But when it came to the 11 days before the election announcement, well...it was not necessary for that decision to be one he cleared with the higher-ups.

More ways in which the man's mind seems to work in some curious ways.

Meanwhile, for any who think we've yet reached Comey saturation, as I write his new book, out all of three days, has 302 amazon reader reviews, with a weighted rating of 4.7 out of 5. 

Trump based on his relatively recent Twitter eruptions has an issue with Comey raking in boatloads of money from book sales (not that Comey likely needs it: he was General Counsel and Senior VP for Lockheed Martin and served as General Counsel for the hedge fund Bridgewater Associates.  Probably not a major problem putting the 5 kids through college and paying off the legal bills.).  The issue Trump has is that only Trump is supposed to be raking in boatloads of money based on high profile public visibility in positions of high public trust.
