If this surprises you, you need to pay closer attention. And it gets even better with Comey. Fox News reports that [Daniel Richman] the Columbia Law Professor who served as Comeys conduit for illegally leaking his classified-information-filled memos to the New York Times was actually serving as an unpaid agent with special status for the FBI. I swear I do not make this stuff up.
I just love this passage from the Fox story:
Sources familiar with Richmans status at the FBI told Fox News that he was assigned to special projects by Comey, and had a security clearance as well as badge access to the building. Richmans status was the subject of a Memorandum of Understanding.
Yes, he was assigned special projects such as trying and failing to give Comey cover for illegally leaking classified information to the fake news media, an act for which Comey now feels the need to retain a very expensive lawyer. That kind of special project.
JAMES COMEYS FRIEND, PERSONAL ATTORNEY, LEAKING CONDUIT, NY TIMES OPINION WRITER, AND SECRET MOU FBI CONSULTANT .
Daniel Richman- A friend of former FBI director James Comey who leaked sensitive FBI memos to The New York Times in the wake of Comeys firing in 2017 now claims to be Comeys personal attorney. Daniel Richman, a law professor at Columbia University, told The Federalist via phone on Tuesday afternoon that he was now personally representing Comey.
