It's Official - DOJ /Barr Refuses To Indict Comey As Recommended By US IG For Crimes Committed

[iceberg]

Seems the new AG has declined to prosecute the disgraced fool who started the witch hunt.....at least for the moment. Comey admitted he'd leaked classified information concerning his conversations with Trump in the Oval Office....that's at least three felonies. IG Horowitz sent Barr a notice of indictment which he declined to follow. Why? Isn't Barr Trump's henchman? Why does Slippery Jim get a pass while he's sent so many up the river for so much less? Does Barr have doubts he can get a conviction on that charge and is waiting for something dead-bang on the creep? Maybe none of this is true and Barr has made no such decision...either way there's no sell-by date until the statute of limitations runs out and that's no time soon.

Lindsey Graham: 'Stunning' if DOJ declined to prosecute James Comey

Barr isn't prosecuting because Comey didn't do anything legally wrong by sharing those memos. That was already figured out two years ago when he "leaked" them to the press through a friend.

That all you guys got?

Comey is not going to get prosecuted. It is all fabricated lies. I thought you guys at least knew that, even if you wouldn't admit it. Plenty of harassment and threat value there, but no cigar.

don't see a whole lot of those on the left admitting kavanaugh rape charges, russia and so forth were fabricated lies.

lot of that going on.

But Horowitz clearly said Comey was guilty and his conviction was just a formality. I smell a RAT! (-:

Why bendog you don't look like a rat terrier...

 

[pknopp]

This is why I support people breaking things.

 

[bendog]

I don't think allegations against Kavenaugh or Comey are fabricated, but I'm generally a republican but just against Trump.

Yeah, the United States Inspector General completely disagrees with you, which is why he recommended Comey for indictment for illegally leaking classified memo / information.

Thank you for that lovely biased OPINION, but, as usual, facts actually prove you are wrong.

"Of the seven memos, four now bear classification markings: two are marked "confidential" — the lowest classification level — and two are marked "secret." Before the memos became public, Comey shared at least some of his written impressions with Daniel Richman, a law professor at Columbia University who also advises Comey. In a 2017 interview, Richman said he received four Comey memos. Two were 'Secret'.

1. Intentionally eaking classified information is a violation of the Espionage Act:

"What is clear is that if the information Comey intentionally leaked was classified, this constitutes a violation of criminal provisions of the Espionage Act."

2. Comey leaked this information while Director of the FBI, which means "his conduct is sanctionable and violated Executive Order 13526 as well as official FBI policy."

3. By his own admission, FBI Director Comey committed a criminal violation of 18 U.S.C § 641

"According to his testimony then, the memos were clearly prepared for and meant to be used by a U.S. government agency. According to reports, “the FBI claimed [the Comey memos] were all government documents.

Clearly, what Comey leaked was an FBI record, which standing alone could be a federal crime.

In addition, it had value and many courts have held that government information has value for purposes of this statute. That means there are two possible ways that Comey may have violated this one statute. So, regardless of whether the information Comey leaked was classified, his action could constitute a criminal violation of 18 U.S.C § 641."


The bottom line is Comey knew what the rules, regs, and laws all state. By his own public admission HE thought the 'country' was in jeopardy and decided to take action on his own to 'save' the country, choosing to do his own thing...in violation of those rules, regs, and laws.


Did fired FBI Director James Comey break the law?

I’d say he’s waiting to finish up other investigations and will determine what to charge.

I'd say ever since Bill Clinton got his horn honked the Right has been obsessed with throwing anyone from the left in jail.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

We need more metaphysical wizards who can look into the soul of people like James Comey and determine he didn't mean to break any laws.

It really increases the credence of the Justice Department and people's confidence in their government.

 

[BlindBoo]

“Everyone at the DOJ involved in the decision said it wasn’t a close call,” one official said. “They all thought this could not be prosecuted.”

ur lnk

Especially when they are as crooked as James Comey. Comey is more crooked than an eighty year old Cerebral Palsy sufferer's hand writing.

Your post is unusually dumb. I congratulate you.

 

[Missouri_Mike]

Anyone at all surprised by this?

Sadly. Not at all.

I see Comey as mostly completely incompetent. He released the info to cover for his incompetence. Not an excuse and we have jailed people for less.

 

[bendog]

Has anyone pointed out that the oP is a lie because Horowitz basically found facts could support prosecution (as did Mueller) but the decision to indict is not his to make (like Mueller btw)?

 

[Darkwind]

Anyone at all surprised by this?

Nope. I was making the claim that no one would go to jail over this before Rep. Nunes started his investigations.

No one...



NO ONE...


Will be going to jail in this entire fiasco.

They protect their own.

I agree.
For a 'rookie', you're smart.
There's a fair amount of knee-jerk dummies on this board.

 

[Stormy Daniels]

This is fake news. The article cites anonymous sources. Everyone knows that anonymous sources are made up. Also, Barr is not part of the deep state. He is destroying the deep state. He wouldn't do this, so this is clearly fake news.
