It doesn’t make sense to prosecute him for leaking a document that was not “classified” at the time he leaked it. The DOJ classified afterwards.
So, if they wanted to prosecute it would look as though they created an x-post-facto classification simply to prosecute him. That is kangaroo court crap—and any judge with any sense would toss it out on its behind.
There will be plenty to “get him” on in the coming months. I think its best not to start out with a loser of a case.
DOJ was formed in 1870 which makes it 149 years old, not “over 200 years” but hey, what do I know. It’s not like I’m a journalist or something.

Just a couple of important considerations:
1. Comey could only be prosecuted for leaking classified information to the media if the information he leaked was TRUE. The problem in this case is that proving that the information in his memos was true would likely require testimony from President Trump. That's never going to happen.
2. There's a legitimate question about whether those stupid self-directed memos were even official FBI documents anyway -- regardless of whether they're true or not. Comey didn't prepare them on behalf of his superiors, and wrote them to himself and gave them to the media apparently without sharing them with anyone internally at the DOJ.
They’ve probably only scratched the surface of Comey’s corruption. Look at all the corrupt scoundrels Obama put in place.
Obama and his goons need to be tried and convicted then dealt with accordingly.
AS I said before, I will believe it when I see it. Until proven different, I still maintain that there are at least two systems of justice. One for the peons and Republicans and one for the Elite Democrats. The time for talking is past. Now comes the demonstration.
I wholeheartedly disagree with Joe and Bill Barr on this. It is yet another sign that there are 2 tiers of justice, and rules of law in play.
I would already be in prison if I had leaked classified government documents to the media. Just like the Navy guy who took pictures in his submarine? I am sure he had no intent to sell them to the Chinese. He just wanted to show his wife & kids where he worked. He went to prison.
I like Joe and his wife Victoria but they are WAY to fond of Bob Barr and feel he can do no wrong.
It is not about being vindictive. It is about fairness. It is about not having a 2-tiered justice system where poor black people go to ass pounding prison for having an ounce of crack but Hollywood starlets get off with warnings after being caught with powder cocaine multiple times.
I am livid about this. DiGenova is dead wrong. There is no reason they DOJ could not have waited until the investigation ran its course to decide whether or not to prosecute. Coming out the same day to say “Comey gets off start free” smacks of more biased corruption by the DOJ letting FBI people off scott free.
I am furious. This is BS BS BS BS BS BS!
Why hasn’t McCabe been charged for perjuring himself 3 times? I am losing all faith in the justice system.
I luv ya, Joe...but ONLY indictments, convictions and prison can ever restore faith in the justice system...beginning with the top leaders of the communist Coup d'état.
Adding bankruptcies is icing on the cake.
Our next step will not be as polite as postings on the internet...
"the impartial and professional ethos that has characterized that agency...."? Now that's a hoot!
Once the deep state controls law enforcement, then anything goes and political corruption exponentially expands.
these guys keep pissing on us all and are telling us its raining!!
this is getting way old...
This case seemed pretty weak but are there actually any signs that anyone anywhere is conducting a criminal investigation? Ya know juries empanaled, warrents issued, people compelled to testify etc.

Washington is the home of the “Slow walk it till it vanishes” tactic.
There will always be another excuse. Seeing is believing. I think this will fade in time as the election season starts to take everyone’s attention away from this.
Ethel Rosenberg was executed for partaking in the transfer of nuclear secrets to Russia.
Hillary Clinton goes unmolested for partaking in the selling to Russia the vital material needed to make nuclear weapons.
And there are those who wonder at the loss of credibility of the once vaunted justice system of these United States.
I trust DIGENOVA ... if it’s ok with him - it’s ok with me...
