READ THIS: A fascinating piece by an *active* FBI agent about how beloved Comey was (is) inside the bureau:

"To say his firing jarred much of the FBI family would understate the varying levels of sadness, anger and confusion that followed the sudden dismissal of a man held in such high regard throughout American law enforcement. With the election and its aftermath consuming the national psyche, it may be hard to see past current headlines to reflect upon the incredible impact he had on our organization — but his legacy is a story worth telling..."
"...Comey’s servant leadership principles were contagious and spread like wildfire throughout our organization. He purposefully populated our senior ranks with leaders who were kind but tough, confident yet humble. He cultivated a cadre of team-oriented field commanders who were not threatened by the notion that their subordinates might know more than they did"
That last line. In my hiring of people, I always look for someone who I hope will do better than me. I hope the new hire could be the next top leader in my organization. Seems that Comey encouraged the same in the FBI under his leadership.
