Dishonorable discharge, prison, no benefits.
Had to become a GARBAGE MAN.
TWO systems, separate & unequal.

Former FBI Director Jim Comey violated bureau rules and procedures in his handling of certain memos he drafted after his May 2017 firing, the Justice Department Inspector General said in a report released on Thursday.
The report said that both the memo he had handed over to a friend to be leaked to the press, as well as memos Comey shared with his attorneys, were improperly transmitted without seeking authorization from the FBI.
However, the Inspector General’s investigation found no evidence that “Comey or his attorneys released any of the classified information contained in any of the memos to members of the media.”
In the report, Inspector General Michael Horowitz said the violations came regardless of the memos’ classification levels because Comey failed to release the memos to the FBI after he was fired and failed to ask permission to retain them instead.
Comey tweeted a response after the report’s release, saying that he didn’t “need a public apology from those who defamed me, but a quick message with a ‘sorry we lied about you’ would be nice.”
James Comey ✔ @Comey DOJ IG "found no evidence that Comey or his attorneys released any of the classified information contained in any of the memos to members of the media." I don’t need a public apology from those who defamed me, but a quick message with a “sorry we lied about you” would be nice.

The Inspector General also knocked Comey for not informing the FBI that he had shared a memo with his attorneys when the FBI informed him that parts of the memo were being retroactively classified.

no statement from the White House yet -
time to call your rep and your senators
Comey wants an apology because HE violated policy - what a self-important kook.

Fat chance.
Maybe DOJ declined because Comey will be charged in something even worse!!!!!
They had better bring charges against the former FBI director now CNN analyst or our system is worse and more corrupt that Zimbabwe.
What a bunch of Shite! And this is to inform US little people that NO ONE will be held to account. Not NOW nor in the FUTURE! Time to move on and forget about this whole coup! What a sad day for america and a happy as hell day for AmeriKa!
General Petraus should be miffed.
In the IG report conclusion it specifically states: “However, after his removal as FBI Director two months later, Comey provided a copy of Memo 4, which Comey had kept without authorization, to Richman with instructions to share the contents with a reporter for The New York Times. Memo 4 included information that was related to both the FBI’s ongoing investigation of Flynn and, by Comey’s own account, information that he believed and alleged constituted evidence of an attempt to obstruct the ongoing Flynn investigation; later that same day, The New York Times published an article about Memo 4 entitled, “Comey Memo Says Trump Asked Him to End Flynn Investigation.””
So if he provided this info to the NYT how the hell can he then tweet: “found no evidence that Comey or his attorneys released any of the classified information contained in any of the memos to members of the media.”
I think he’s picking and choosing which parts of the report he wants to have people look at. Imagine that.
Where is it reported Barr will not prosecute?
Nor can we prosecute any of the liberal criminals until they’re purged from the administration ... and that will take years.
EVERY person that was punished for lying to the FBI needs to file a “Comey lied” lawsuit to overturn their convictions. EVERY person - Flynn, Page, Martha Stewart, Mafia kingpins, etc.
If ever faced with talking to the FBI, only one word - “Lawyer” - should ever be said. Not name, not address, nothing but “Lawyer”.
Barr is fine. You think he has powers that he does not have.
“November 22, 1963 and days and hours leading up to that infamous gunshot may have been the real kickoff to the utterly corrupt agencies today.”
You got it. And the media have been lying to us for at least as long.
Comey tweeted a response after the report’s release, saying that he didn’t “need a public apology from those who defamed me, but a quick message with a ‘sorry we lied about you’ would be nice.”
Yeah James, maybe after they apologize to President Trump
for all the lies about him first.
It was a couple of days ago.
This report doesn’t exonerate him, so he has a lot of nerve stating that apology demand. In the end, he deserved to be fired.
something just spooked the market. probably not this.likely that report that Trump lied about the phone call with china.
Apologize? Apologize? Well, hmm???...NAH!
