Better yet -- name James Comey as the special counsel, and give him a budget of $0 and no subpoena power.
This isn’t my field of law. I would be interested to know if this constitutes a criminal offense.
This seems so wrong. And then because Sessions recused himself, Rosenstein picks Bob Mueller as Special Investigator! WTHeck?
Indeed. Now we know that the entire appointment of a special counsel relies on nothing more credible than a "Note to Self" written by government employee who leaks sketchy information to undermine a president, but won't even leak solid fact the the president is not under investigation.
And to read the MSM reports on the hearing, only the Dems are being quoted and only the anti-Trump statements of Comey are being reported.
Who is Comey’s friend, and what is the friend’s relationship to the Clintons? Who is Comey’s friend, and why would a journalist trust the friend as a legitimate source?
"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.”
Comey is done.
Imagine the sphincter pucker factor at the F B I about now.
I hope nobody shows up dead by tomorow morning.
Arkancide is in the air.
