Well the report specifically says he didn’t follow policy and “failed to live up to this responsibility” and “Comey’s unauthorized disclosure of sensitive law enforcement information about the Flynn investigation merits similar criticism.”
So he can take his tweet and shove it.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
YUP.
almost a redeux of his congressional testimony on hildabeast email crimes.
did everything
everything was illegal
BUT.....
“no reasonable prosecutor would charge”
one difference here with comey, is that he DID leak confidential info with INTENT.
I have to agree with bitt. there’s more to come & I hope & pray they nail um all on the FISA fraud.
we in big trouble if they walk on that.
The whole report is out already. Here is a link to it:
Hannity mentioned this report will be about 65 pages.
It's 83 pages.
“We conclude that Comey’s retention, handling, and dissemination of certain Memos violated Department and FBI policies, and his FBI Employment Agreement,” the Justice Department inspector general report states, noting that “much of the content of the Memos was directly tied to FBI investigative activities.”while the legacy rubble media will concentrate on main conclusions - conclusions we are told will be damning for Comey -
No, the MSM will spin. By the end of the day they will have 1/2 of America believing the Comey was completely exhonorated. As others have already noted: Comey is out there claiming complete vindication because he wasn't charged with a crime.
Which (not to beat a dead horse) is why at the end of the day ONLY INDICTMENTS matter. Only indictments can not be laughed off, spun into meaningless sugar, or ignored all together.
Watergate resulted in 69 indictments of various people. 48 of those were eventually found guilty. All of us saying this is "bigger than Watergate" sound like hysterics at this point because no one has been indicted & no one has been convicted of anything.
It appears at this point that anyone who put their faith in the OIG / Durham using Comey's obviously horrible behavior in the "leaked memos affair" to start the train rolling on those much needed indictments of Deep State Coup plotters has been disappointed. Again.
We won’t know until the report comes out, but it raises an interesting parallel with McCabe, because it appears as though he WILL be indicted
It doesn't appear that way to me. It appears they are still pushing the peas around on their plate. It's good that they haven't totally binned the whole thing, but I'm not getting my hopes up for a McCabe prosecution. Why so hard? Mueller was able to indict Flynn on "lying to the FBI" in a few weeks. They already have all the evidence - it was in the OIG report. So all this time that has elapsed since the report was issued - what has it been needed for?
Obviously to let things cool down, and because this is a poltical hot-potato and no one in the Deep State really wants to charge McCabe. (I hope I'm wrong about that, but the pattern keeps repeating. It's hard not to notice it.
Dave is working with the folks at Conservative Treehouse, another outlet that I diverge with but does put out some good work.
How do you diverge from CT? Even Sundance has gone from "arrests are coming soon" to "they might all get away with it" over the last six months, so perhaps your sunny disposition and optimism over the eventual outcome are more positive than Sundance's - but his reporting is really excellent and I can't think of any facts he's gotten wrong. And even many of the theories he builds around them seem well founded and often prove, with hindsight, to have been correct.
I know you didn't write this line to me, but I'll address it anyway:
please try not to sink into the “Nothing is ever going to happen” concern posting. If nothing was ever going to happen there wouldn’t be an OIG investigation, or all of the firings and retirements we have seen. The road to justice is a long one. We are taking our very first steps.
That's not good enough. OIG reports and firings (the vast majority of which are described by both sides as "retirements" or "leaving to pursue other opportunities") are good things on their own, but they don't account for much milage on the "road to justice". They are still the equivilent of checking air pressure in the tires at the starting line.
Justice is about making criminals pay. If no one is every charged then you can't really have any justice, or it's very incomplete. That's why even though we won the war in Europe we still went ahead and held trials for the Nazis. Merely summarily executing them would have been less, and not met the requirments of justice. Merely saying "OK, you are no longer a General in the Wermacht and your pension is revoked" - that isn't even close to justice.
I know we're not supposed to use Nazi analogies (Godwin's Rule) but the attempt to overthrow the elected President using covert operations isn't that different from a planned assassination. It results in the same end-point, the illegal removal of the legitimate elected leader. So, I consider it a very very serious crime.
I will never be satisfied with people being forced into retirement as some sort of justice or punishment for that. (While of course being happy that bad people are no longer in positions of trust in our government).
Hang in there.
There is nothing else to do but Hang In There, I agree and I will.
Cheers!
Some people are not educable.
No, the MSM will spin. By the end of the day they will have 1/2 of America believing the Comey was completely exhonorated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your fond hope. 1/2 America does not trust or believe the MSM and of course you know that. You just hope they do.
You are transparent.
Which means you have no answer.
Thanks.
The fact that the shills and trolls are active this week should be all the evidence we need.
Big things habbening...
LOL.
Obviously.
I’ve only been here 20 years. Obviously i’m a shill and a troll.
Just someone who thinks Trump is a loser, liar, fool, bumbling idiot and is doing nothing.
Thank you for outing yourself big time today.
>>1/2 America does not trust or believe the MSM and of course you know that.
I don’t think Jack Black is hoping for a bad outcome. I think he’s concerned about the spinning and how the population that isn’t into the day to day details, as we are, will believe the main stream press that what Comey says is true. Because he’ll say he’s exonerated, which will imply that all Trump said against him proves Trump is wrong.
None of those things will be true, but they’re the mirror image of the Mueller report conclusions saying positive Trump things while the report actually tries to put out as many negative rumors as they can stuff into the pages.
We’re in a 50/50 society, as Jack notes. One half will believe good of anyone Trump is against. And of our half, a good proportion doesn’t keep up enough and still reads the main stream press, so it takes a while for truth to filter to them. I got my niece to vote for Trump. EVERY conversation with her is a recital of the latest MSM talking points that I have to contradict. But at least she TELLS me what she’s thinking so I can give her the facts to get her back on track. Not everyone says what worries them or has someone to help with facts.
Jack’s concerns are reasonable, to me.
Jack is who he is, and that is, a dissembler.
He is wrong totally about 1/2 of Americans being dems/believing the MSM etc.
I actually have read it. I am not calm nor am I running around with my hair on fire.. oh wait I don’t have hair... nevermind, but I did read the thing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
YOU: Your fond hope. 1/2 America does not trust or believe the MSM and of course you know that. You just hope they do.
ME: No, it's not my "fond hope". It is merely a fact. (As noted by other posters who are starting to link the MSM coverage of the report.)
Admitting something you don't like has happened or will happen - is not the same as hoping for or cheering for that thing to happen.
And yes, I agree with your statement that"1/2 of America doesn't believe the MSM." Which leaves 1/2 that does.
Which is why I said "1/2 of America (the recalcitrant libtards) will believe ..."
What we need are things that EVERYONE believes, because they are incontrovertable facts.
For instance:
James Comey pleaded guilty today in a Federal Court in Washington D.C. to two counts of Lying to the FBI, and mishandling classified information, a vioilation of the Espionage Act.That is what I hope to see.In an an agreement with Federal Prosecutors and has agreed to cooperate in the ongoing investigation of former President Obama's attempt to throw the 2016 election. His sentencing has been delayed while this investigation is outstanding.
Cheers!
LS is pissed. He had a tweet tantrum today and I don’t blame him.
August ends, for the most part, tomorrow. Not seeing anything big happening, except the Fed tanking the US economy.
The Fed, for the first time in 50 years, has the UST bond at a rate HIGHER than any other G20 country bond rate.
Consider that for a second - Germany’s economy is in contraction, China is a mess, The UK is facing Brexit, and Italy is Italy. But our bond has a higher yield, which implies your money is LESS SAFE in the US than China, Italy, or Germany?
Up is very much down at the moment. There is no system. It all feels very ad hoc.
I have to go in early and have only just downloaded it. Is it all about the thing they call process?
The IG Report on Director Comey is out:
"We conclude that Comey’s retention, handling, and dissemination of certain Memos violated Department and FBI policies, and his FBI Employment Agreement"
It says he "set a dangerous example for the over 35,000 current FBI employees"

I'm not sure you can go to prison for breaking FBI rules. You can probably get fired, which he already was. From what I understand, Barr didn't prosecute on this because info was not classified at time of leak. FISA abuse is Comey's real problem.— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) August 29, 2019
Most Federal Cases comparable to this size & scope take 3-4 YEARS to just investigate.
No one knows how anything works anymore— #SOULWAR ✝ (@CatesDuane) August 29, 2019
Once again, as Wictor likes to say, nobody knows how anything works.
As long as the **statute of limitations hasn't expired**, did you know the DOJ & the AG can **go back to any referral & reconsider it & make a new decision?
It's true!— Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) August 29, 2019
These officials in the DOJ/FBI perjured themselves to the FISA Court by deliberately hiding/lying about where they were getting their Trump/Russia info from: Hillary Clinton's political operatives at Fusion GPS.
You know this.
I know this.
Horowitz not only KNOWS THIS...— Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) August 29, 2019
...Horowitz is going to release a report where he meticulously & exhaustively & extensively SHOWS ALL OF US exactly how they went about committing this perjury to the FISA Court.
He **will** refer multiple people who were once at the DOJ/FBI to AG Barr for criminal prosecution.— Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) August 29, 2019
Here's something people don't understand: the DOJ can pretend to **change it's mind on any referral from Congress or the IG at any time**.
People have this idea you get 1 shot at this, when the referral is first made, you get 1 decision, then it's over for all time.— Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) August 29, 2019
I keep telling people, the folks in charge of re-instituting the rule of law in this country fully understand what they are up against.
You get to rip the lid off of THIS Pandora's Box exactly ONE time, and you had better not screw it up.— Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) August 29, 2019
NOTHING they can do will stop what Horowitz, Barr, Durham or Huber have been carefully preparing to unleash.
A PR campaign is useless when the other side has all the documentary evidence.— Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) August 29, 2019
cut it out, please.
they want us divided.
Some but it outlines the whens and whats. It for the most part is pretty plain speaking.
I realize the IG doesn’t bring charges but the least they could have done is not say “nah he did all this shit but we don’t think anything should come from it.” He didn’t really say that like that but that’s what it amounts to.
#1383 I am pretty sure that what the new office of Transparancy is supposed to do. It will handle the declassification and retraction of documents and get them released to the public.
So rat bastards swimming in the deep swamp can’t sit on them until 2085.
