Giuliani: Comey could be prosecuted based on IG report
The Hill ^ | 06/10/18 07:01 AM EDT | LUIS SANCHEZ

President Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani said on Sunday that he thinks former FBI Director James Comey could be prosecuted as a result of a report from the Justice Department’s (DOJ) internal watchdog that is expected to be released next week.

"I think the report of Horowitz, the [inspector general], and the Justice Department will confirm that Comey acted improperly with with regard to the Hillary Clinton investigation," Giuliani said an interview with radio host John Catsimatidis.

“The first thing we are going to get is a report from Inspector General Horowitz on Comey’s handling of Hillary, which I think is going to be very very critical of Comey, as it should be,” Giuliani continued. "Comey, really, has a chance of being prosecuted as a result of, but we’ll see."

In a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on Thursday, DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz said that he planned to release a report about the FBI's probe into former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's emails during the 2016 election on June 14.

The past practice has been that IG reports refer serious law-breaking to prosecutors while the investigation is underway, as violations are uncovered. They do not wait until the report is finished and published. That’s been the practice, and seems like the proper thing to do.

“Prejudicing a jury claims?”

Rudy is a private lawyer with no official position in government.

That claim would go nowhere.

Lawyers do that ALL THE TIME on TV. Just look at Stormy’s lawyer.

What if Mueller gave Comey IMMUNITY?

Can he still be prosecuted?

Yes.

Mueller’s scope has nothing to do with the Clinton mail crimes.

Correct. McCabe was recommended for indictment. I don’t know how long it takes from the IG recommendation, to a actual indictment.

I don’t see how Comey could be in trouble, but not Lynch. She should be at least as much trouble as he is.

Exactly right and this is why Comey has been so anti-Trump. He can play any potential prosecution for his crimes as a political witch hunt.

Could be....is not prejudicing a jury. It's one of the possibilities.

Comey's "extremely careless" is prejudicing the whole world.

Sure he could, but Coney by himself is not the end game. Squeeze him like a zit until he pops.

Action was already taken against Comey and McCabe. More action seems highly unlikely based on the release of the IG report.

Note that a lot of Clinton-related stuff took place under FBI Deputy Director Mark Giuliano. We’ll see if the IG report implicates him.
