I think plenty of people on both sides of the political aisle have issues with some of Comey's public statements on the Clinton server investigation, in terms of the content and timing.
I don't think Comey is necessarily a leaker or a liar, but I do question his judgment and can see why his breaching of long-standing protocols with those public statements could make other leaders worried that he'd do the same if they were under investigation.
And, though he's a private citizen now and free to do what he wants when he wants (so long as it's lawful), he's demonstrating questionable judgment again in terms of some of the content and the timing of his book, in my opinion. I wish he'd waited until the completion of the Mueller investigation and stuck to facts rather than opinions (though I've only seen a few excerpts). He comes across as sanctimonious and vindictive, to me.
I really don't give a crap what Comey thinks about the possibility of Trump getting peed on by Russian hookers, for example. I do, however, care if that and/or other salacious information resulted in laws being broken to keep people quiet, or in Trump being beholden to people who could blackmail him -- we don't know if either is the case yet though.
Anyway, I think Trump makes everything worse for himself by creating and feeding the drama with all of his emotional public proclamations on such matters.
