The decision not to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey over his deliberate leaks to the media isnt a sign of weakness or lack of will, but of the professionalism and well-reasoned restraint of President Trumps Department of Justice.
Attorney General Bill Barrs number one goal since taking the helm at the DOJ has been to restore the impartial and professional ethos that has characterized that agency for more than 200 years.
He is working diligently to cleanse it of the stain of politically driven vindictiveness that Obama-era officials created by grossly mishandling the Clinton email investigation, and then, even more egregiously, orchestrating the series of events that led to the Russiagate witch hunt.
ROBERT MUELLER'S RUSSIA INVESTIGATION BY THE NUMBERS
Before this investigation of the investigators is over, there will undoubtedly be many cases of misconduct that warrant criminal prosecution. Comeys, however, was not one of them.
What Comey did -- release private memos made in the course of his employment as FBI director to politically damage the president of the United States, who had just fired him for unrelated misconduct -- was absolutely outrageous, and totally unbecoming of the leader of this countrys premier criminal investigatory agency. It speaks volumes about Comeys corrupt character and further illustrates why both President Trump and then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein concluded that Comey was no longer fit to serve in that role.

Comey broke the law - undisputed. What does intent have to do with it?
I would think that his actions in releasing the memo would verify intent. Why not let a jury decide?
Because if the jury lets him off...it just takes one...it will be a massive political victory for the Deep State and Left. And likely it would then taint everything that might happen after as a witch hunt.
They can’t afford to come out of the box with a loss. When they go after these people it has to be substantial and it has to be iron-clad.
That’s 16, without another set of parentheses.
8*.5*4 = 16
I disagree for this reason: even if they couldnt get him (a conviction) they must begin indicting these people & force them to burn some wealth just as they did to all of Trumps people.
You’re right. They need to start rolling them up, but not with the weakest cases against a given individual.
Yep. Parenthetical first.
8/1 * 1/2 * (2+2)/1
and then numerator as a set, and denominators as a set.
8 * .5 * 4 = 16
If you don’t do it that way, then you can’t properly solve for the equation as a whole.
Yep, I agree. Gotta be patient. The Swamp would’ve loved for Barr to open on a technicality against Comey. It instantly would have soured public opinion.
This was a landmine avoided IMO.
That makes sense. Thanks.

It is also true that you can’t produce a baby in one month by impregnating 9 women!
This is the idiotic sheeple behavior that the GOP thrives on.
Public officials seem to get the benefit of the doubt is all cases but the public is assumed guilty.
Oh and letting this douche was off the hook isn’t a victory? Where did you learn logic?
Don't by his BS. This was about as iron clad as you can get.
Scott from the Left Coast = RINO.
No, 16. Over a hundred years ago it would have been 1 but “modern” math says 16. You can check it out here: https://educationtrick.com/2019/07/31/what-is-8%C3%B7222-the-correct-answer-explained/
I agree. The guy is a loon.
Modified, Limited Hangout. It even has a name.
You’re right.
Meanwhile, even our media (Fox) has been pushing RUSSIA!! And Mueller! 24/7 for three years instead of #FusionCollusion. I understand what you are saying but you IMHO are missing a really big part of the picture. Eventually people will have enough of being gaslit by the Brown Shirt Media, or they wont.
It might be worth the try...
