Showtime has released two images from its political drama miniseries The Comey Rule which offers a first look at Brendan Gleeson as US President Donald Trump and Jeff Daniels as FBI director James Comey; take a look here…
“THE COMEY RULE takes us on an insider’s journey down the corridors of power, where decision-makers struggle to apply old norms to a dramatic new paradigm in the face of Russia’s deep and unprecedented penetration into American politics, with our nation’s rule of law hanging in the balance. Each character’s actions in these historic months made the careers of some, destroyed the careers of others and helped shape the incendiary political landscape we live in today. Part one of the series examines the earliest days of the Russia investigation, the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails and their impact on Election Night 2016, when Donald Trump stunned the world and was elected president. Part two is a virtual day-by-day account of the tempestuous relationship between Comey and Trump and the intense and chaotic first months of the Trump presidency – where allies became enemies, enemies became friends and truth depended on what side you were on.”
The Comey Rule premieres on Showtime in November and features a cast that also includes Kingsley Ben-Adir as Barack Obama, Jennifer Ehle as Patrice Comey, Holly Hunter as Sally Yates, Michael Kelly as Andrew McCabe, Jonathan Banks as James Clapper, and Peter Coyote as Robert Mueller.
