DOJ will not prosecute Comey for leaking memos after IG referral: sources
Fox News ^ | 08.01.2019 | Brooke Singman, Jake Gibson

Posted on 08/01/2019 9:52:32 AM PDT by dware

The Justice Department has decided against prosecuting former FBI Director James Comey for leaking classified information following a referral from the department’s inspector general, sources familiar with the deliberations told Fox News.

“Everyone at the DOJ involved in the decision said it wasn’t a close call,” one official said. “They all thought this could not be prosecuted.”

Comey penned memos memorializing his interactions with President Trump in the days leading up to his firing. He then passed those documents to a friend, Columbia University Law Professor Daniel Richman, who gave them to The New York Times. Comey admitted to that arrangement during congressional testimony.

Why did he pass on the IG referral?

Did you really not read all the literature explaining why?

If you can't figure things out for yourself, goodman, read what your betters have to say.

Yeesh.

For God's sake, THINK.

Says who?

Says who?

the same person used as a source in the article that you are using as your poof just now of what Barr did

Are you really that stupid?

Holy crap. No wonder you just kept repeating the same things...

I know, I know, because government bureaucrats take care of each other.

Please alert The Nest. Perhaps they'll snap to?

American heroes, whose leadership was visible, not cloaked in mumbles and droppings.

If I read my history correctly, those patriots and many like them began the revolution hidden away from the British government. And by #Awakening the people.

Reading 4Chan and chewing the fat in The Nest isn't fighting, rather it's avoiding responsibility.

As opposed to your contribution to the revolution? Marching on Washington with your musket?

Discouraging people who suffer insult and are still willing to spread the word to people like you?

You would have shouted down Adams and Henry and told everybody to go home, sir.

Don't get it twisted.

You did. And now you're telling me again.

I think BiggBob was onto something earlier.

Is your delusion so deep that you'd actually compare the backslapping of the Nesters to that of the work our Founding Fathers?

How old are you?

Hahahahahaha

So you believe the source quoted in the article that says Barr won’t prosecute but not that the same person says Comey et Al will face larger charges

AND you claim I didn’t answer you?

Bwhahahahahaha

Stop your embarrassing yourself...

I make that mistake too, BB. I always assume that these derps actually read the literature before they open their repetitive yaps.

And I assume they are logical and have the ability to critically think and process facts because, after all, they ARE on FR.

Now I think none of that is true. They're too stuck on their narrative. Nothing phases them. No amount of truth can penetrate their shield of ignorance.

This specimen is not alone in this. They are legion.

They are the Tories of our generation. Old, done men beholden to the status quo. Comfortable and safe and unwilling to take a chance on something new.

It's really quite fascinating to watch.

Another mess of a sentence.

Come back when you make sense.

Funny. I think I read a similar quote in Samuel Adams' biography. Some Tory derp accused he and Patrick Henry of 'backslapping'.

You certainly do fit the Tory mold, Preston.

If you could read the original article it wouldn’t need to be explained to you in the first place

But i’ll make it even simpler for you.

You asked who my source is, my source says Comey will be charged

My source is the same source in the same article that you claim is your source that says Barr won’t charge comey

Try and keep up slouch

Duh.....

When you try and think does it hurt your head!

How is it that a reading of Samuel Adams led you to a belief in an unidentified internet presence, one who drops coded messages to you and others?

Are there other waves or frequencies that come through to you?

Have you ever been to Edison, NJ?

If you consider the attempt to assist in the #GreatAwakening of an indoctrinated, sheep-like people 'make believe', then yes. I am promoting that. And enthusiastically so.

You, on the other hand, are actively trying to shut it down.

This 'make believe' movement is designed to give you what you've been begging for your entire life. A better world and the destruction of the derp state.

And to restore liberty, freedom, and individual rights. Yet you oppose it. I believe, in your case, its due to stubborn pride and ignorance rather than any nefarious purpose. There's a lot of both going around.

You just keep your eyes peeled, read the literature, and EXPAND YOUR THINKING.

I see that you're a semi-smart man. There's hope for you yet. In the meantime, stop trying to derail the only movement that can create that better world which you seek.

Fixed.

Now, what hasn't Barr proceeded with the Comey criminal referral?
