Hillary Clinton disagrees with Donald Trump over nearly everything except, at least initially, his decision to fire FBI Director James Comey.
That’s according to an excerpt from a new book by Ryan Grim, the Washington bureau chief at The Intercept. We’ve Got People: From Jesse Jackson to AOC, the End of Big Money and the Rise of a Movement was officially released on Tuesday, and though it traces the rise of progressive politics in the modern Democratic Party, there are notable reporting vignettes sprinkled throughout.
That includes details about Clinton’s initial reaction to Trump’s firing of Comey in early 2017. In the aftermath of that decision, the former Democratic nominee, Grim reports, was “ecstatic” and had to be talked out of applauding it publicly.
