Allies of President Trump took to Twitter on Thursday to blast former FBI Director James Comey after a Justice Department watchdog released a scathing report which found he violated bureau policies with his handling of official memos, including one that contained classified information.
“We conclude that Comey’s retention, handling, and dissemination of certain Memos violated Department and FBI policies, and his FBI Employment Agreement,” the inspector general report states while adding that “much of the content of the Memos was directly tied to FBI investigative activities.”
Comey shared the memos with a friend, who gave the contents to a New York Times reporter.
Comey responded to the report on Twitter by pointing out that it did not find that he leaked classified information to the media. Comey tweeted 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."
SNIP
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) called the report a "stunning and unprecedented rebuke."
Kayleigh McEnany, This is EXTRAORDINARY! Inspector General found that Jim Comey... * “failed to live up to... responsibility” * “set a dangerous example” * did not “safeguard sensitive information” & “used it to create public pressure for official action” @realDonaldTrump was RIGHT to fire him!
Dan Bongino: Comey celebrating a report, which clearly lays out his ethical depravity and disregard for the rules of his employment, is the Comiest Comey thing ever. What a clown 🤡 this guy is.
Buck Sexton: So James Comey was- it’s official now- a sanctimonious, self-righteous bureaucrat who believed in holding other people to standards that he himself was free to break when he saw fit. This should surprise no one
Brit Hume: So Comey wants an apology because while he violated department policy and his contractual obligations by leaking, he didn’t leak classified info. How about a “sorry I leaked that information in violation of both policy and my contract?”
SNIP
Rule of Law?? What is that??
Name calling and Blasts are all that’s left since Bagpipe Barr and
his DOJ hasn’t indicted anyone.
If I was Comey, I’d be laughing my ass off at all these people too.
Corrupt Comey is protected by the corrupt DOJ which is run by the corrupt Bill Barr.
Jokes on us.
I will never obey a federal law again, Mr. Barr.
The problem is that if you (or I) fail to obey a federal law, you (or I) WILL be indicted, prosecuted and possibly left in a cell with miraculously malfunctioning videocameras.
I called my US Senator and Congressman raising hell. This is unconscionable. I pray everyone let’s their elected officials know exactly how they feel.
I agree. Someone needs to explain to us what is the RULE of LAW.
Another whitewash from Horowitz...
Even if criminal charges ever do come out against these traitors, which is looking more and more unlikely, even then it will feel like it wasn’t true justice, due to the years they’ve not only been allowed to skate, but taunt us in the media while people like Stone had their homes raided by SWAT teams.
Sickening.
Yes, that is a problem.
Answer is don’t get caught, the DO”J” will not decline to prosecute.
No doubt Comey will get a good laugh from this. Sickening isn’t it.
It's becoming difficult if not impossible to expect accountability or justice.
The law is just a convenient stick with which the ruling class can beat the serfs who make a fuss.
It’s only for the peons
What Comey is celebrating is nothing less than the death of the USA...and that’s a good thing. Because once we get through the grief we can move on to acceptance and begin to prepare for what comes after.
We need the rule of law and justice for all.
If that standard is not applied, then all beware, because AOC's 12 years will never stand.
If I were running for President in the future, I would declare up front: On day one, I am firing the entire top echelon of DOJ and FBI. They are not “neutral, non-political LEOs.” They are highly political, and no newly elected President should ever trust them to be loyal or unbiased.
Until yesterday, did anyone hear about the IG’s report on Comey?
I sure didn’t, and it really casts Comey in a bad light, as do his responses to it which are now being reported. They really show what an arrogant ASS the man is, and sure don’t fit well with his “I’m just a poor wittle victim” schtick!
My hope is that Barr and Durham are waiting until the next IG report to go after a criminal conviction, because committing fraud on the FISA court would be a much more serious breach of the law.
Of course, this is just my (probably foolish) hope. :)!
Let’s see what happens when the FISA report is released.
If Barr is going to prosecute Comey, it’s going to be for perjury to the FISA court, Not leaking memos.
