Davis is a former special counsel to President Clinton and a longtime pal who met Hillary Clinton at Yale Law School in 1969.

“The most important thing I can say about you, Hillary, is that this book is because going back to law school, I remember your focus on the word ‘facts,’” Davis told the crowd gathered at the Georgetown home of former U.S. Ambassador to Portugal Elizabeth Frawley Bagley.

Calling Clinton a “wonderful friend,” Davis said, “As a candidate, she knows the difference between truth and alternative facts. So this book is about indisputable evidence — I will leave the conclusions, the rhetoric and the argument to others.”

“James Comey impaired the electoral process,” Davis, a contributor to The Hill, said.

In the days before the 2016 election, then-FBI Director Comey notified Congress that the FBI had uncovered additional emails potentially related to the investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server while secretary of State. Comey disclosed a week later that the batch of emails contained no new info.

“Do you see this getting reversed anytime soon? Do you see Comey going to jail? Can we still make Hillary president, please?” one woman asked during a brief Q&A session at the book party. A smiling Clinton shook her head at the suggestion of installing her in the Oval Office, mouthing the word “no.”

“I believe James Comey was sincerely wrong,” Davis said, noting that in his book, released on Tuesday, “I don’t attack anyone’s motives — I attack their judgment.”

But now, Davis said to chuckles, Clinton is at least “relaxing, and enjoying life, and not suffering all the pressures” of being in the political spotlight.

So in addition to getting some R&R, is Clinton dropping any hints to her 37-year-old daughter that she’d like to be a grandmother three times over?

“Oh no, that’s not my role,” Clinton said with a big laugh, telling ITK, “I’m just going to love the ones I have!”
