DOJ Declines To Prosecute James Comey For Leaking Classified Information
Breitbart ^ | 08/29/19 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 08/29/2019 7:44:10 AM PDT by Enlightened1

The Department of Justice’s inspector general on Thursday published a damning report stating fired FBI Director James Comey broke bureau policy by leaking several memos with classified information.

“We conclude that Comey’s retention, handling, and dissemination of certain Memos violated Department and FBI policies, and his FBI Employment Agreement,” reads DOJ watchdog head Michael Horowitz’s report.

Attorney General William Barr said he will not prosecute Comey over his wrongdoing.

Comey claimed vindication in a pair of tweets following the report’s release, saying it “would be nice” of those who “defamed” him apologize privately.

“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 ousted FBI chief wrote.

“And to all those who’ve spent two years talking about me “going to jail” or being a “liar and a leaker”—ask yourselves why you still trust people who gave you bad info for so long, including the president,” he added.

Trump is all we have in DC plus a few Freedom Caucus members on certain issues, but that’s it. The entire Swamp Globalist cabal have committed so many treasonous activities, that if exposed and reported to the American people, would bring down the entire federal government. They’re all protecting themselves!

“Trump is all we have in DC plus a few Freedom Caucus members on certain issues, but that’s it.”

Trump appointed many of the government officials dragging their feed and covering up crimes including Wray and Barr. He has declined to simply order Wray to release information Wray is withholding. Trump has his own agenda.

If I would be charged for these actions, so should he. I will not stand for a two-tiered system. Better to stand trial and allow all facts to be in evidence than to leave it to an angry mob with a rope. Y’all are poking us with a stick. That is3going to work.

"I, Weasel Comey, indirectly leaked confidential info to the Weasel Media to get RosenWeasel to appoint Weasel Mueller to be Special Counsel."

"I, Weasel IG Horowitz, found no real problem with Weasel Comey's behavior."

"I, Weasel Bagpipe Barr, choose to not prosecute Weasel Comey."

It's a Deep Weasel Bureau Burrow.

How is it a damning report if nobody actually gets punished? Comey admitted he leaked classified information, he report admitted he leaked classified information, and Comy has the chutzpah to ask for apologies for people who called him a leaker?

Words used to mean things.
