The Justice Department has decided against prosecuting former FBI Director James Comey for leaking classified information following a referral from the departments inspector general, sources familiar with the deliberations told Fox News.
Everyone at the DOJ involved in the decision said it wasnt a close call, one official said. They all thought this could not be prosecuted.
Comey penned memos memorializing his interactions with President Trump in the days leading up to his firing. He then passed those documents to a friend, Columbia University Law Professor Daniel Richman, who gave them to The New York Times. Comey admitted to that arrangement during congressional testimony.

Trump's biggest mistake was not throwing Hitlery behind bars like he promised. Now this. There are two sets of laws in America, and the Trump Administration is solidifying that.

SO COMEY IS OFFICIALLY AN ‘UN-INDICTED CO-CONSPIRATOR’?

Never gonna happen
America is too comfortable with their internet, their inane television, etc. to ever get up and actually take any kind of action.
Hell, you can't even get most of them out to vote once every 2 years

Its just because hes going to a military tribunal treason trial at Gitmo, or thats what I heard from an Anon fan!

Cuz of diversity, the only real thing holding Americans together is THE LAW.
Gosh, I wonder what will happen when average people figure out that there are two totally different legal systems in place.

I really think Trump is going to take some heat on this ... and he should ... this is WRONG. We are sick of people “getting off” ... and he’s just part of the swamp if he allows this to happen with HIS DOJ.

But will DOJ say they could not exonerate him?
To: dware
I haven’t seen Trump complain about this (yet?).
He’s usually quick to point out miscarriages of justice.
To: dware
I shared the same emotions that the wall that is the two-tiered system of justice that is apparent to all has another brick of evidence in it. Then another light came on. What if the DOJ is focused on rolling Comey over his obvious lying and leaking as they seek even bigger fish? What if their target is not Comey but Clinton or Obama? Trump seems to be capable of taking the long view for his revenge and it would be consistent with his character to fulfill his promise to “lock her up” by taking this path.

Could not show intent? Let me think on that. He went through the supterfuge of using a cut out rather than recommending something so he could hide behind anominity. If that is not intent what is it, full disclosure? Everyday I hope the czar bomba lands at constitution and 12th. Only way to save the nation IMO. Not now though because most of the bums are out of town on vacation.

NONE of the Kenyanesian Usurper’s minions will be prosecuted.
Simple reason is the GOP assisted with the violation of the constitution.

Yep.
And now they’re pushing us.. more and more and more... politicians are no longer subject to the laws that WE are forced to live by.
How far are we willing to be pushed before we push back?
