James Comey: His Birth Order Explains his Actions

        

Presidential Election 2016

We may not have heard the name James Comey

if it had not been for the highly contested Presidential

Election. Hillary Clinton’s emails were an issue

brought to light by the Benghazi hearings. FBI director

James Comey was put in the center of the issue when

the US Attorney General meet with Bill Clinton during

the ongoing investigation. This meeting caused Loretta

Lynch the Attorney General, to excuse herself from

making any decisions on the case. She gave the FBI

director Comey the decision to determine if prosecution

was warranted. How he handled the situation can be

more clearly understood if we look at his birth order.

Unmasking Personalities

Birth order can predict someone’s personality if we find

their “real” birth order. To do so we must look at several

factors as explained in earlier blogs “How to find your

true Birth Order.” The gender and spacing of siblings 

are two major factors. In addition, illness, death of a 

sibling, step-siblings, and multiple births, twins and

triplets also influence the finding of your “real” birth 

order.

Sibling Rivalry

Sibling rivalry is usually strongest between the first two

siblings. The firstborn wants to keep the throne and the

second born wants to ascend the throne. The firstborn

has a head start in school and uses this advantage to

claim the intellectual position among his siblings.  If he

holds this advantage, the second born becomes the 

athlete as a way to be different and increase his worth 

in the family.  Should the firstborn have difficulty in 

school, the second born is ready to move up and 

defeat the firstborn. In response to this dethroning the 

firstborn may drop out of the race. The reverse is also 

true should the firstborn claim both the intellectual and 

the athletic positions, then number two may drop out.

James Comey’s Siblings

The oldest in the family is Patricia Comey Preston 

6-4-58. She is a banker. Second born was James Brien

Comey 12-14-60 current FBI director. Third is Peter

Comey 6-5-62 who works in construction and 

real-estate. Last is Christopher Comey10-18-65 a 

neurosurgeon. With this gender arrangement the 

oldest, a female, may not have acted like a first born, 

telling her brothers what to do as they outnumbered 

her 3-1. The brothers may have interacted like a group 

of three children leaving the oldest, Patricia, to her 

unique position as the only girl. If this was true, James 

Comey would have characteristics of both a second 

born, his order of birth, and firstborn, the leader of the 

three boys in the family.4

Firstborn and Second Born Characteristics

Jim was born the second in the family.  This is the child 

that does not want to be told what to do.  He sees the 

world clearly as things are right or wrong.  This may 

have led Jim to study theology in college. Growing up 

he was an altar boy and delivered newspapers.  At age 

16 both he and his brother were held at gunpoint by an 

intruder, they escaped. In college Jim at 6ft 8, played 

basketball, football and ultimate Frisbee, the second 

born as an athlete. While serving as U.S. Deputy 

Attorney General during the George W. Bush 

administration he opposed the White House and their 

attempt to pass domestic surveillance laws. He did this 

while his boss, John Ashcroft, was hospitalized. He 

showed the second born characteristic, “don’t tell me 

what to do.” Jim is also the firstborn boy in the family 

and the leader of his two younger brothers.  The 

firstborn likes to lead and give orders. They don’t like

to be wrong. Because of this, it may look like the 

firstborn is on both sides of an issue. Jim has been in 

charge of large groups of attorney’s as a U.S. Attorney 

in New York and Virginia. He was also General 

counsel for Lockheed Martin, and Deputy Attorney 

General under George W. Bush and now FBI director.

The Controversy

On July 4, 2016 he announced that the FBI 

recommended no criminal charges be filed against 

Hillary Clinton.  He then read a statement listing her 

“extremely careless” behavior. The Democrats 

cheered. On October 28, 2016 Carlos Danger, aka 

Anthony Abedin Weiner was found to have classified 

emails on his computer. Comey announced that these 

additional emails would reopen the investigation. 

The Republicans cheered. Comey acted on his own 

against advice by the Justice Department. Two’s don’t 

like to be told what to do!

Comey to Continue as FBI Director

It may look like Comey’s behavior is that of a man 

pulled in different directions by political influence.  If 

you understand his birth order you now see he may be 

truly independent as the FBI director should be. The 

winner of the election Donald J.Trump, has asked

Comey to continue on at the FBI. Trump greeted him 

at the White House and in true Trump prospective said 

to him, “You’ve become more famous than me.”  

 Time will tell.

May 9, 2017 Looks like this number 2 has succeeded in
upsetting both the Democrats and Republicans. Trump
fired him today! Said he was not doing a good job 
leading the FBI.  If most of the FBI are firstborns they
would not understand the number 2 side of Comey's
personality. They would not see him as a competent 
leader.

Update April 26, 2018
Comey is now on a book tour promoting his book about
his time with the FBI and the Clinton and Trump 
controversies. It points to the fact that a #2 birth order 
should have not been the leader of the FBI.  You can't 
have a lower birth order command respect from those 
with higher birth orders.  His second in command 
McCabe a #3 birth order was even more ill-suited for 
the job.  When a #2 and a #3 try to act like #1's they 
overdo it, a sham performance.We can all see the result.
