Mystery Solved: Now We Know Why Comey Did Nothing About Hillary

[Mr. Mojo]

No wonder former FBI Director James Comey refused to press charges last summer against Hillary Clinton for her egregious security breaches: It turns out, he may have been guilty of the same thing.

As the inside-the-beltway political publication The Hill reported, more than half of the memos FBI Director James Comey wrote after having spoken to President Trump about the Russia investigation contained classified information. The Hill cites as its sources "officials familiar with the documents."

All told, Comey wrote seven memos based on nine meetings with Trump. In testimony to Congress, he asserted that he had made sure the memos in question didn't have classified material. But a subsequent investigation found markings on four of the memos indicating secret information, the kind that is not allowed to be routinely released to the public.

Comey has long maintained that the memos were his personal property, but virtually no legal authority agrees with that. Nor does the FBI, for that matter. The memos were created on government time and related directly to his work, so they were the property of government.

In short, it sounds like a game of cover-your-hindquarters he's been playing. Because Comey later let outsiders see those memos, and made sure they were leaked to the Trump-hating press, in this case the New York Times, so any protestations of innocence on his part sound more than a little weak.

Let's be very clear here: What Comey did is against FBI rules, and it's a violation of federal secrecy laws, on a par with the violation that Hillary Clinton committed when she decided to run the Secretary of State's office from a private, home-brew email server that was clearly illegal.

You have a problem with the way we work at the FBI...?

Perhaps you WISH TO FILE A COMPLAINT..?!

[Baynative]

"Not surprisingly, perhaps, Trump on Monday morning tweeted out an angry response: "James Comey leaked CLASSIFIED INFORMATION to the media. That is so illegal!"

So why in God's name is nothing being done?

[blueunicorn6]

Comey is a weasel.

Weasel weasel weasel

[Yaelle]

Either we INSIST LOUDLY on enforcing our laws or we deserve some kind of corrupt westworld.

Bottom line...

He knew that she knew he was doing the same thing.

[al baby]

IMHO its because the swamp and the deep state are far more powerful than one could ever imagine Trump has been made aware of how compromised he and his family have now become

[353FMG]

This info must have been known by DJT when he was elected.

Why did he not fire Comey from the very start? Why is Hillary still free when he promised to lock her up?

In short, it sounds like a game of cover-your-hindquarters he's been playing. Because Comey later let outsiders see those memos, and made sure they were leaked to the Trump-hating press, in this case the New York Times, so any protestations of innocence on his part sound more than a little weak.

Here's the problem as I see it:

Nobody who has reported on the memos has ever claimed to have actually seen them.

Think about it. Even the New York Times reporter who covered the story admitted that these "memos" allegedly existed (but didn't have possession of them), and were allegedly being read to him over the phone by someone (Comey's friend) who allegedly had possession of them.

Comey can never be prosecuted for leaking confidential or classified information because nobody can ever prove that he actually turned over these documents to anyone.

For that matter, no prosecutor can even prove that the memos were actually prepared on the dates shown on them.

The article is BS what Hillary did and what Comey did are two very different things

[VTenigma]

The reason Comey declined to advise Lynch to indict is because they both have their noses so far up the Clinton’s asses they are looking through their nostrils.

Is Sessions locked in a closet somewhere?

Are we or are we not paying a fortune to have an army of lawyers ie prosecutors on the federal payroll?

[Jane Long]

I just asked hubby.....”Where the heck is Sessions?? Is he locked up, somewhere in th swamp?”

[Kalamata]

>>Is Sessions locked in a closet somewhere?

He's going to need to up his dosage...

Do tell. How the plot thickens...

[Empireoftheatom48]

I’m beginning to think Sessions was a poor choice. I can’t understand why Rudi G, didn’t get the job, it seemed like he got kicked under the bus. We should have multiple prosecutions going on to tie the left into knots. Keep them off guard. For the life of me I’ll never understand why Sessions recrused himself allowing that dip $hit deputy Attorney General to usher in Tar Baby Mueller.
