“The real crime is that @Comey lent the credibility of the FBI to bolster a ridiculous smear fabricated by the Democratic Nat’l Committee to undermine the Trump campaign and then his presidency. If we cannot prosecute that crime, we are a banana republic” amgreatness.com/2019/09/01/com…
“Lost in the reaction to the news that former FBI Director James Comey will not be prosecuted for being an insufferable jerk is that the inspector general established, once and for all, that yes, James Comey is in fact an insufferable jerk.”
“Which means, at a minimum, Trump was right to fire him.”
“Special Counsel Robert Mueller could not decide whether firing Comey violated federal laws against obstruction of justice. Inspector General Michael Horowitz answered that question with a resounding, “Are you kidding me, Bob?” He wrote:
‘Comey violated FBI policy and the requirements of his FBI Employment Agreement . . . Comey set a dangerous example for the over 35,000 current FBI employees . . .’
‘Comey’s closest advisors used the words “surprised,” “stunned,” “shocked,” and “disappointment” to describe their reactions to learning what Comey had done.’
“This is only the leak case, remember: the one where Comey got the New York Times, CNN, and MSNBC to report his psycho-fantasies by putting them into an official-looking memo and leaking them through a Columbia law professor.”
“The reason he was not prosecuted was that it would just cause problems to designate as ‘classified’ the anti-Trump porn he dreamed up and locked in a safe at his house. United States v. Comey in this instance would only elevate his mad ranting to a national secret.”
“Attorney General Bill Barr has appointed John Durham to investigate the origins of the Trump-Russia probe.”
“When he looks for who planted the stupid idea that Trump colluded with Russia, he will find, in each instance, that it was DNC working with the Clinton campaign—and Comey was involved up to his neck.” Via @tfarnanlaw
