Is 'misleading' sorta like 'lying'?

RealClearInvestigations that Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz will soon file a report with evidence indicating that Comey was misleading the president. Even as he repeatedly assured Trump that he was not a target, the former director was secretly trying to build a conspiracy case against the president, while at times acting as an investigative agent.
Two U.S. officials briefed on the inspector general’s investigation of possible FBI misconduct said Comey was essentially “running a covert operation against” the president, starting with a private “defensive briefing” he gave Trump just weeks before his inauguration. They said Horowitz has examined high-level FBI text messages and other communications indicating Comey was actually conducting a “counterintelligence assessment” of Trump during that January 2017 meeting in New York.
But, former FBI counterintelligence agent and lawyer Mark Wauck said, the FBI lacked legal grounds to treat Trump as a suspect. “They had no probable cause against Trump himself for ‘collusion’ or espionage,” he said. “They were scrambling to come up with anything to hang a hat on, but had found nothing.”
What remains unclear is why Comey would take such extraordinary steps against a sitting president. The Mueller report concluded there was no basis for the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy theories. Comey himself was an early skeptic of the Steele dossier -- the opposition research memos paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign that were the road map of collusion theories – which he dismissed as “salacious and unverified.”

Yewwww!
The because is obvious. Evil intent.
Summary execution at dawn for treason.
*cough* We may never know his motives *cough*
Maybe Comey is a Msulim.
“Comey was essentially “running a covert operation against” the president”
That was obvious in May 2017.
Where was Big Bad Horowitz then?
And how does a guy like Comey get that kind of power, and the willingness of others who call themselves “the government” to go along with him?
Gonna be a tight fit for Jimmy C. in Florence, Colorado.
Comey’s just doing what he’s been told he has to do....the old “silver or lead” metals deal.
The well is deep.
If he is lucky he can get a cell next to El Chapo.
Comey = Bad Cop. Too bad he was never punished.
Geez, what a real head scratcher.
Who did Comey work for??
Comey will be the fall guy. The IG's whitewash begins just above Comey.
Comey SAVED Hillary from investigations and prosecution and prison.
In steps Trump and Comey is scared to death.
Comey starts looking for ways to save his ass, and so, he does his own investigations on Trump, in the hope of derailing his presidency.
Comey “may” soon find himself behind bars for sedition.
Years of doing 'favors' for corrupt politicians that get caught.
“May soon...”
This entire Clintoon mess started when I was 24 yrs old, 1992 election...
I’m now 52 yrs old.
Hold up.

J. Edgar Hoover made a career out of doing the same.
This would appear to be a structural problem with the FBI.
Tear it down and start over.
It’s not just the top dogs. We need a compete restructuring of USDOJ and federal police state agencies. If they can get away with this against a billionaire president, what do you think they can do to the little guy? Presidents can come and go but these agencies will always be populated by leftist statists that live in a bubble and have no respect for the Constitution/BOR.
BTW. Where is the guy with the collage showing Waco, ruby ridge?
WHAT is holding up this report?
