James Comey's Next Reckoning Is Imminent — This Time For Leaking
James Comey's next reckoning is imminent — this time for leaking | TheHill

The Justice Department’s chief watchdog is preparing a damning report on James Comey’s conduct in his final days as FBI director that likely will conclude he leaked classified information and showed a lack of candor after his own agency began looking into his feud with President Trump over the Russia probe. Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz’s team referred Comey for possible prosecution under the classified information protection laws, but Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors working for Attorney General William Barr reportedly have decided to decline prosecution — a decision that’s likely to upset Comey's conservative critics. Prosecutors found the IG’s findings compelling but decided not to bring charges because they did not believe they had enough evidence of Comey’s intent to violate the law, according to multiple sources. The concerns stem from the fact that one memo that Comey leaked to a friend specifically to be published by the media — as he admitted in congressional testimony — contained information classified at the lowest level of “confidential,” and that classification was made by the FBI after Comey had transmitted the information, the sources said. Although a technical violation, the DOJ did not want to “make its first case against the Russia investigators with such thin margins and look petty and vindictive,” a source told me, explaining the DOJ’s rationale.
Comment:
Just arrest the man, and summarily dispose of him and the other 2,000 or so who use their office to deprive the American people of the rule of law. What Comey did stinks a hundred times more and it's time to pay the piper, the rule of law will be reinstated and Comey's just the beginning. So far Solomon is correct on almost everything (except Muchelle's gender).
The reason I think the DOJ decline to prosecute Comey based on the IG report is because he has more serious charges coming. I hope that AG Barr ADDS the charges from the IG report to all the others that are coming against Comey !!!
