Comey says he asked a friend to share content of his memo with a reporter because it would prompt special counsel https://t.co/I294rPNNjQ — The Situation Room (@CNNSitRoom) June 8, 2017

Shortly after his dismissal as head of the FBI, James Comey authorized "a close friend" to leak the contents of his memos to the press in order to prompt a special counsel investigation.

The memo, written contemporaneously, documented Comey's Oval Office meeting with President Trump during which the president allegedly asked him to drop the investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

This admission itself should be sufficient cause to shut down the special counsel's investigation.

Better yet -- name James Comey as the special counsel, and give him a budget of $0 and no subpoena power.

Comey was bought and paid for by the Clintons a long time ago.

All this leaking b.s. is wrecking our country.

Libtards like Comey work hand-in-glove with the MSM to shape the stories that are published every day. It’s been like this for decades, liberal manipulation of the media for their personal and partisan needs.

Comey considered asking for a special prosecutor for Hillary but didn’t because Hillary ‘hadn’t broken the law.’ says Fox News host....

...(but Comey insisted on a special prosecutor for Trump, ‘leaked’ his ‘memo’ to predicate it, even though Trump was never the subject of an investigation.)

[Comey says he asked a friend to share content of his memo with a reporter because it would prompt special counsel]

Isn’t this enough to land COMEY in jail?

This isn’t my field of law. I would be interested to know if this constitutes a criminal offense.

Comey is a leaker, setting an example that it’s OK for FBI agents to leak to the media - he should be punished/fired.

Comey is as prosecutable as Reality Winner.

Should he not be prosecuted, then nor should she and we will legitimatize a total break down of laws and order.

Boy it certainly was made clear today but foaming at the mouth media doesn’t care.
Lynch is a POS criminal and so is Comey.

AG Sessions suggested that Trump fire Comey. Trump’s note on this has been posted a gazillion times here.

In a world that at the very least pretended to be sane, that would be the biggest issue. Comey leaked information to promote his agenda, through an intermediary! LOCK HIM UP

Criminal offense? I'll give you one: COMEY TOLD GRASSLEY DURING A PREVIOUS HEARING THAT HE WAS NEVER THE SOURCE OF A LEAK TO THE MEDIA.

COMEY COMMITTED PERJURY DURING A PREVIOUS HEARING!

I bet it was. Trump is so much smarter than many give him credit for.

No wonder Comey could not be loyal!!!
