DOJ had already announced that they wouldn’t prosecute, so not news.
If it wasn’t a big deal the coup plotters wouldn’t be trying to bury the news on a Labor Day weekend.
Thank you for bringing some sanity to this thread which is chock-full of the usual knee-jerk negativity. Yes, it has been known for several weeks now that DOJ decided not to prosecute Comey for the mishandling of these documents.
While I was disappointed, my take on it was that there are bigger things coming with the FISA IG report (of which this is not by the way). What we see today is a separate IG report on the Comey incident only.
I have read the first 15 or 20 pages of the report, and it mainly seems about Comey’s notes to himself which he started writing up after the private dinner with the President at which the President asked for his personal LOYALTY. Not loyalty to the Constitution, but personally to him. Frankly if I were working for a big company and the CEO asked me for personal loyalty, I would start taking notes too, since I would consider my loyalty to be to the stockholders and my HONESTY to the CEO, which is basically what Comey said. Other thinks the President asked for was for Comey to ditch the Steele report, and certain things about Russia. He kept records of 4 communications home which he considered personal, buy gave all memos to the FBI.
So I guess you could call the Report a nothingburger if you want.
