GOP senator says Comey likely leaked classified information
Washington Times ^ | 1/3/2018 | Stephan Dinan

A top Republican senator said Wednesday that it appears former FBI Director James Comey leaked classified information in his effort to shape the narrative surrounding President Trump’s decision to fire him.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley said Mr. Comey wrote seven memos, and shared four of them with a professor he was using as an intermediary to defend him. Of the seven, four are marked at the confidential or secret level — meaning at least one of the memos Mr. Comey shared contained restricted information.

Mr. Grassley now wants to know when and how the memos were deemed classified, and what that might mean for Mr. Comey.

The Iowa Republican fired off a letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein demanding answers.

W O W !!!! Grassley is seriously kicking ass all over the place today. (antidote for those of us sickened by Bannon) Grassley has also gone after Simpson & Steele (GPS Fusion)and by extension the Times, and is demanding paperwork on Comey/FBI lying.

That is the best photo of Comey ever snapped. Too bad it’s blurry because it’s the only one where he doesn’t look like a f***ing rodent.

What do the democrats have on Sessions?
Or is he really just an incompetent slug?

... and why isn’t Trump firing him and putting in someone who will actually do their job?

“Intent. Intent. Intent.”

As I’ve heard a few attorney talking heads on TV say, when it comes to classified info, ”intent” isn’t even a consideration. That simple fact that leaking or other corruption occurred is a crime. Not necessary to disciss or prove intent.

Meanwhile the guy who took pics on a sub served a year in jail and is now a convicted felon garbage collector.

Isn’t that just flipping dandy? NOT.

I’ve come to the conclusion that there is only one party. There is no decernable difference.

The FBI and DOJ were corrupt under O and they are still corrupt.

I don’t trust the republicans around them. I have seen this huff and puff thing so many times and not once did they carry through with it. All smoke and mirrors.

Why is it that congress takes almost a year to comprehend what the general public does immediately?

It doesn’t matter. Nothing happens to these people. Jeff Sessions is going after marijuana.
