I am STILL livid AG Barr declined BOTH of Comey’s criminal referrals. Mind boggled. I don’t give a rat’s ass if the cases were weak or AG Barr did not think convictions could be obtained. Merely indicting him for both perjury and again for leaking classified material would provide IMMEDIATE accountability and put the rest of the players on notice.
Absolutely nothing was achieved by declining to prosecute Comey for potential crimes I would certainly be indicted for. Its pure bullcrap.
I don’t want to hear any sorry excuses about indictments to come for FISA. Screw that! Different issue. Comey should have been indicted for both potential crime, and let the courts worry about convicting him. This was not a garden variety event where an AG should look at odds of conviction. Comey’s double indictments were needed to put the coup conspirators on notice and to assure us that accountability will be forthcoming.
Barr screwed up royally. All he did was perpetuate the belief that Comey and the rest of the government top brass are above the law.
Future indictments will be welcome. Better late than never. But Barr completely F’d this up. Royally.
Barr said in his confirmation hearings he took the job to protect the institution.
None of the participants in the Kenyanesian Usurpation are going to be prosecuted.
Future indictments will be welcome. Better late than never. But Barr completely F’d this up. Royally.

We'll see.
While you're hot, who will shoot next in Iran?
You'd get away with it too, most likely. What Comey leaked was not the sort of material that constitutes a felony. Misdemeanor leak of confidential material, maybe. Most leaks of classified material are not felonies, contrary to popular chat.
Without a change of venue (Washington DC) there would not be any chance of a guilty verdict. The ‘Peers’ of Comey consider him a hero or ‘whistleblower’. Comey even refers to himself to a martyr and savior (St Thomas a Becket and yes, even Jesus)
