DOJ will not prosecute Comey for leaking memos after IG referral: sources
Fox News ^ | August 1, 2019 | Brooke Singman, Jake Gibson

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.

Then what’s the point of having classified information? So we can throw the book at a private?

Comey walks on leaking a couple of memos. I think that would have been a tough case to win in court. I only want to hear about spying on private citizens and conspiracy to over throw the election. The memo stuff is small potatoes.

Did James Comey ruin his reputation?

Police never hold police to the same standards non-police are held to.
And they should be hated for that.
If Comey skates I will never do jury duty again.
Seems like everything they told us as children is a lie...

Was their official statement that “No reasonable prosecutor would bring this case...”?

There are 2 sets of laws in Amerika, and the Trump DOJ is proving that.

“This is insane. So, Comey walks???”

For being in possession of classified documents outside the workplace, yes, Comey walks. He’s not out of the woods yet, though.

There is speculation that Comey committed more serious crimes that are still under investigation. Time will tell...

The memo leaking was one tactical element of the coup d'état. Maybe it'll be used when they prosecute the coup d'état cabal.
