WASHINGTON, Aug 29 (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department has decided not to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey despite an internal investigation that found he improperly leaked information to the news media, the department's Office of Inspector General said on Thursday.
The inspector general's office, which serves as the agency's internal watchdog, said Comey shared a handwritten memo with a friend who described it to the New York Times, in an effort by Comey to pressure the Justice Department to launch an independent investigation into his conversations with President Trump.

If we break the law, Heaven help you. If one of the Deep State breaks the law, it’s ignored. And Washington wonders why no one trusts them.

Apparently the DOJ has two levels of justice.

What kind of investigation did it take to determine he did what he already told us he did?

Anyone surprised? No. We have a two-tiered justice system. General Flynn, George Papadoupolis and Roger Stone get railroaded while James Comey, Lois Lerner and Hillary Clinton skate.

Say what you will about the repugnant Mueller or his chained attack dog Wiseman, they had no fear charging anyone, unlike Barr. They had no compunction against even using made evidence to do so.

Wait for the next shoe to drop.......Comey is not out of the woods yet and he knows it. The only things that will drop will be a bevy of ballerina slippers. Comey is nowhere near the woods. He's at the beach, sipping a mai-tai.
