The Department of Justice should consider prosecuting James Comey for his “improper” actions while serving as FBI director, the White House said Tuesday.

Sarah Sanders, the White House press secretary, argued during the daily press briefing that Comey’s actions as FBI director “were improper and likely could have been illegal.”

NOW PLAYING Sanders: Bipartisan dinner is a 'very good first start' Close The Department of Justice should consider prosecuting James Comey for his “improper” actions while serving as FBI director, the White House said Tuesday.

Sarah Sanders, the White House press secretary, argued during the daily press briefing that Comey’s actions as FBI director “were improper and likely could have been illegal.”

Powered By Asked if President Trump wants the Department of Justice to prosecute Comey, Sanders said that’s “something they should certainly look at.”

Sanders said the former FBI director “politicized an investigation by signaling he would exonerate Hillary Clinton before he ever interviewed her or other key witnesses.”

That’s in reference to new allegations Comey drafted an “exoneration statement” for Clinton weeks before interviewing her during the investigation into her email server.

Sanders also said Comey, “by his own admission, leaked privileged government information.”

That’s in apparent reference to Comey’s acknowledgement during a June congressional hearing that he authorized the leaking of a memo about his conversations with the president to the New York Times.

“I think if there’s ever a moment where we feel someone’s broken the law, particularly if they’re the head of the FBI, then I think that’s something [that] certainly should be looked at,” she said.

Comey is the focus of two known investigations, including a Hatch Act investigation by the Justice Department’s Office of Special Counsel. The Justice Department’s inspector general is also looking into Comey’s handling of the Clinton email investigation, and whether he violated procedures and went outside the chain of command when he announced in July 2016 he was not recommending criminal charges for Clinton.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Prosecute the bastard!

This would be justice, but Sessions heads Justice and is avoiding his gaze like a once-pricked dog when the next porcupine passes through the yard.

I am not a happy camper when it comes to Sessions.

He’s had plenty of time to telegraph his intentions.

At this point I can only think his pedicure appointments conflict with him getting his job done.

Mueller runs the only investigation we know of, and it was instigated on a whim, while a number of issues have documentation on the record.

Once again, Leftist crimes are overlooked!

The Department of Justice just gave Lois Lerner a pass for targeting conservative groups as IRS commissioner, but thought it was worth appointing a special investigator to go after Trump a few months into his presidency. Jeff Sessions has been a colossal disappointment so far, and I don't expect him to stop disappointing.

Talk is real cheap. So far Sessions has been impotent.

prosecuting and punishing law breakers is supposed to be a deterrent for society to not break the law. No wonder those working in the federal government and on Wall Street are such criminals, no matter how bad their crimes, the only people in those positions who were or are ever held to account for their crimes are the ones who betray the shadow government.

Sessions will have another belly laugh with his bff, Rosenstein, over this idea.

Sessions: “Haven’t they figured out yet that the only one the DOJ will investigate is Trump?”

Rosenstein: “They are slow learners, aren’t they?”

Both dissolve in fresh gales of hilarity.

He admitted on national TV that he broke the law by leaking info to his friend.

Why he wasn't indicted on that exact day baffles me.

I'm losing faith in Sessions more and more with each passing day.

The latest announcement that they are letting Lois Lerner walk has just about sealed the deal.

Does anyone recall who was FBI director during Waco and Ruby Ridge? I should remember but for some reason can’t. whoever it was should be in prison for life.

William Sessions, fired by President Clinton on July 20,1993.

The day Vince Foster was murdered.

Where’s Trump TELLING ‘em, “Get it D-O-N-E.”??

Where’s the DJT knee-pad brigade on this, yet another, let-down? Only We the People (no the illegals, criminals, elected or elite) seem be beholden to any/all ‘law’...guess, for some time now. Now, it’s just blatant, in-your-face.

Comey did make the admission on National TV. Sessions just doesn’t care. He entered as AG to help thwart Trump.
Hillary made admissions on National TV. She admitted destroying emails(Felony), Sending documents via an unsecured server(Felony) and sending classified documents via an unsecured server(treason). Nothing will ever happen. she is the money supply. No one will cut her off.
