The Justice Department watchdog on Thursday released a scathing report stating that former FBI director James Comey violated FBI policies and his employment agreement with the bureau over his handling of official memos containing classified information.
We conclude that Comeys retention, handling, and dissemination of certain Memos violated Department and FBI policies, and his FBI Employment Agreement, the Justice Department inspector general report states, noting that much of the content of the Memos was directly tied to FBI investigative activities.
While Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz declined to make a recommendation as to whether or not to charge the former FBI chief, he said Comey broke FBI policies by seeking to share unauthorized information about ongoing investigations with a friend who then gave it to The New York Times two months after his removal.
He also refuted Comeys claims that his memos were not FBI records but personal recollections, stating that the director was operating in an official capacity and that he acknowledged in his FBI Employment Agreement that [a]ll information acquired by [Comey] in connection with [his] official duties with the FBI remain[s] the property of the United States of America.
Former Director Comey failed to live up to this responsibility, the 83-page report says. By not safeguarding sensitive information obtained during the course of his FBI employment, and by using it to create public pressure for official action, Comey set a dangerous example for the over 35,000 current FBI employeesand the many thousands more former FBI employeeswho similarly have access to or knowledge of non-public information.
Comey responded to the report's release on Twitter:

I expect we will be hearing from the many good and Patriotic people in the FBI in 3,...2,... OK, never.
Justice has not been served.
I can’t see any reason for any American to follow the law.
In America we’re MANY ethnicities, have less than ever to bind us together.
This means that respect for the law isn’t just very important:
It’s absolutely critical.
When the average person walking down the street loses faith in that:
WHAT happens..?
Is a “scathing report” like a “strongly worded letter”?

I think the word they wanted was ‘skating’ report.
As in Comey and all the other slime will skate and prove that we have no one in government that we can truly trust to enforce the law.
Very disappointed President Trump.

It’s a BOMBSHELL
only if he gets charged.
Well forget Comey doing time. If you are waiting for justice prepare for disappointment.
Even Hannity’s jaw is worn out mouthing those platitudes. Even he can’t repeat them again. Can he?
We need the shocked faced kid gif around now...
“Decline to prosecte” coming from Barrstool in 3 . . 2. . 1 . .
In Comey’s response by tweets he feels he is vindicated and HE wants an apology. He needs to be charged.
EXACTLY...
Company/agency policies are violated every day. Did Comey break any laws? If so, he must be prosecuted, or this behavior will continue.
Setting the stage for what is to come. Don’t freak out yet.
guys, stop listening to Limbaugh, Hannity, levin, etc., etc...All those guys do is pump up the conservative masses for rating and money. You will find peace in life. if you have a single brain cell you already knew the outcome. right?
