DOJ Inspector General preparing separate report on Comey powerlineblog.com/archives/2019/… via @powerlineUS
@powerlineUS Byron York reports that Michael Horowitz, the Justice Department’s inspector general, is preparing a report on the conduct of fired FBI Director James Comey. This report will be separate from Horowitz’s larger report on the DOJ’s handling of the Trump-Russia probe.
@powerlineUS Comey’s memos were, at the least, confidential FBI documents, and at most, in some cases, classified. Comey told Congress that he sent some of the memos to a friend for the purpose of being leaked to the New York Times.
@powerlineUS Comey hoped media reports would set off a firestorm that would ultimately result in the appointment of a special counsel to investigate the Trump-Russia matter.
Which they did, to Trump’s detriment and, I would argue, the country’s.

@powerlineUS I doubt Comey will be prosecuted, but the IG’s report will likely cast the holier-than-thou former director in a bad light, and add to the public’s understanding of how the deep state unethically attempted to subvert Donald Trump’s presidency.
@powerlineUS Every time the government proves it is incapable of protecting me and my family, Democrats immediately try to take away my means of self defense...EVERY DAMN TIME!
