   James Comey, the former FBI director who has emerged as a critic of   
   President Trump since his firing, writes in his new book that the   
   commander in chief should not be prosecuted after leaving the White   
   House despite any evidence against him.   
      
   Comey wrote that President-elect Joe Biden’s attorney general should   
   not “pursue a criminal investigation of Donald Trump,” according to   
   an excerpt obtained by The Guardian.   
      
   The Justice Department should not probe the outgoing president “no   
   matter how compelling the roadmap left” by former special counsel   
   Robert Mueller or “how powerful the evidence strewn across his   
   history of porn stars and financial fraud,” according to Comey.   
      
   “Although those cases might be righteous in a vacuum,” he wrote,   
   “the mission of the next attorney general must be fostering the   
   trust of the American people.”   
      
   The stance is surprising coming from the former FBI director, whose   
   abrupt firing in May 2017 served as the catalyst behind the Mueller   
   investigation into Russian election interference and possible Trump   
   campaign contacts with Russia.   
      
   Mueller said he did not reach a conclusion on whether Trump   
   committed obstruction of justice, though Attorney General William   
   Barr later said he and then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein   
   reviewed evidence laid out in the report and found it insufficient   
   to accuse the president of obstructing the probe.
