James Comey violated FBI policies with memos on Trump discussions, IG report says

It’s important to note that even though the DOJ has chosen not to prosecute in this case, it only deals with the confidential memos that he leaked. The FISA investigation is yet to be completed. While many of us can’t wait to see that smarmy self-satisfied smirk slapped off his face, James Comey is not off the hook yet.

FOX NEWS

A scathing inspector general report released Thursday said that fired FBI Director James Comey violated bureau policies by drafting, leaking and retaining memos documenting private discussions with President Trump.

The Justice Department’s official watchdog concluded that the memos Comey kept were, in fact, “official FBI records,” and said Comey set a “dangerous example” with his actions.

READ THE IG REPORT ON COMEY 

“By not safeguarding sensitive information obtained during the course of his FBI employment, and by using it to create public pressure for official action, Comey set a dangerous example for the over 35,000 current FBI employees—and the many thousands more former FBI employees—who similarly have access to or knowledge of non-public information,” the report stated.

While the findings of the probe were forwarded to the DOJ, the department has declined prosecution, as Fox News reported earlier this month. But for Comey, who has cultivated the image of a by-the-book and irreproachable leader since his termination in 2017, the review shined a harsh light on his decisionmaking in the final, beleaguered weeks of his tenure at the head of the nation’s top law enforcement agency.

The 83-page document outlined a series of violations, including that he broke FBI policies and the bureau’s employment agreement “by providing one of the unclassified memos that contained official FBI information, including sensitive investigative information, to his friend with instructions for the friend to share the contents of the memo with a reporter.”

If a redwood tree falls on James Comey and nobody cares, does it make a sound?

    I was just reading Don Surber’s blog. He just called James Comey “the world’s tallest teenaged girl” for running victory laps.

    So here we are, right back where we started. Which means ZILCH,ZIP, NADA is going to happen to anyone. Maybe it would be a lot better for all of us Deplorables, if William the Deep Stater Barr would tell us that he is going to continue to investigate butt that no one will be convicted. Just end this TICK TOCK BS.
