He took property he created as an employee of the federal government when he left. If you did that with a climate report you wrote while working for the EPA, it would be worth 6 years.

If you prosecute the female leaker in Georgia, you must do the same for Comey.

“The FBI should be loyal to Trump.”

The term Hitler oath refers to the oaths of allegiance, or Reichswehreid, sworn by the officers and soldiers of the German Armed Forces and civil servants of Nazi Germany between the years 1934 and 1945. The oath pledged personal loyalty to Adolf Hitler in place of loyalty to the constitution of the country. - Wiki

God forbid any citizen swear a loyalty oath to the President or any other person. Let us pledge only allegiance to our God and a Constitution that's in concert with God's word.

Comey made an admission of guilt. He leaked classified info to third parties. All was intended for the newspapers and political purposes. As FBI Director he can not be allowed to flaunt this matter. He should be charged and held without bail.

Yeah...I dont think there is a case..but not familiar with privileged in a govt setting as it pertains to leaks.

Trumps lawyer brought it up...but that could be posturing.

There is a young woman in jail as we speak for doing essentially the same thing so I can’t see why not.

What would be the charge? was it classified material?
++++
In general the material in the memos was unclassified. But I do remember seeing a report that one of them was classified. Probabably BS but who knows.

In any case, he can be prosecuted for leaking the material even if it was unclassified. (As I understand it.)

Comey thinks he should be loyal to the law. That’s very old fashioned thinking. Trump squared him away on that notion.

I’m with you 100%. Sarcasm slips out of me when people put a man and his vanity above the institutions that made our country great. I love and respect America and am at my whits end with those who prefer a cult of personality to a proven successful constitution.

How about lying to Congress. He said that he had never been ordered to back off an investigation but he just testified Lynch had done just that.

And CONSPIRACY

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Statement from President Trump's Lawyer:

"Mr. Comey admitted that he unilaterally and surreptitiously made unauthorized disclosures to the press of privileged communications with the President.

The leaks of this privileged information began no later than March 2017 when friends of Mr. Comey have stated he disclosed to them the conversations he had with the President during their January 27, 2017 dinner and February 14, 2017 White House meeting.

Today, Mr. Comey admitted that he leaked to friends his purported memos of these privileged conversations, one of which he testified was classified.

He also testified that immediately after he was terminated he authorized his friends to leak the contents of these memos to the press in order to “prompt the appointment of a special counsel.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The last one listed involves CONSPIRACY, with multiple people, against the U.S. Government.

Comey is going to prison. And I hope he rolls over on The Cankle too!

Comey, Hellary and the Terrorist in Chief should be sharing a cage at Gitmo.
