I think your points are significant and reasonable.
As I read more this weekend, it seems universal that people on the right (and the left, given their hysteria) think there are legally punishable crimes.
Below is a point made in this article: https://www.trigtent.com/content/fisa-memo-means-fbi-and-doj-face-swarm-litigation
The point is their lies cause doubt in many previous or current investigations, enough to invalidate them all. Result: massive sh!tstorm.

After laying out the facts of the Memo...
“That means that Comey, McCabe, Rosenstein, Yates, and Boente all perjured themselves by issuing their signatures. Now, the fact that they did so – assuming these charges are pursued and formally established – will be evidence of their own untrustworthiness. This means that the FBI and DOJ will likely face a mountain of re-trials and litigation pertaining to cases which were handled by or relied upon information provided by these individuals. That is primary the reason why the FBI was so adamant that the memo not be released. None of the information contained within it can be credibly argued as a threat to national security.”
Thoughts?
It’s the job of investigators to investigate. Hard to claim they can’t start investigating without ‘proof’. Seems more likely to be ethics violations rather than perjury, which still should be enough to end careers.
