Reading the IG report on Comey’s memos now. My first pass reaction is that it documents some technical policy violations that are almost embarrassingly trivial, though I’m sure we’re about to see a vigorous effort to present them as serious. oig.justice.gov/reports/2019/o…
For instance: The IG finds Comey’s contemporaneous memo documenting his February 2017 conversation with Trump about Flynn was an FBI document created “in the course of his duties.” But he could’ve equally easily just remembered the conversation and related it 3 months later.
As for Comey’s supposed leaking of classified information, the IG found that one of the memos Comey shared with his attorneys contained exactly one word that the FBI properly classified at the lowest level (CONFIDENTIAL) after the fact.
What the report mainly illustrates, I think, is that it would be very difficult for anyone to credibly go to the press with an account of official misconduct without formally running afoul of some aspect of department policy along the way.
