If Trump told Comey to stop investigation, did Comey commit a crime by not reporting it immediately?

This only came out after Comey was fired.

Trump allegedly committed a crime. Comey also did by not reporting the crime.

Will Comey ask for immunity?

 

[Tank]

Yes

People always talk bad about their boss after they are fired

 

[ColonelAngus]

Trump and Comey could be bunk buddies in the Penn.

 

[Bush92]

Lock him up...lock him up...

 

[toobfreak]

In short, yes. Comey is a felon. Now quick, get me a special investigator.

 

[S.J.]

Comey is a liar and a felon. He may very well be indicted after he testifies next week.

Who would he report it to? Sessions?

the way i understand things Trump may have said that he HOPED that comey would go easy on 'Flynn' or drop the case against Flynn . The word Hoped or Hope makes the conversation acceptable and legal and no problem for TRUMP according to some talking head lawyers on tv . --------- If ' comey' suspected that TRUMP was asking for favors or giving him orders to stop the investigation on Flynn then 'comey' should have reported that info . Just holding the info for himself in private notes is either illegal or unethical , from what i hear !!

Sessions is his direct supervisor.

" From what I've gathered from this "anonymous source" bullshit, is that Trump mentioned that he " hoped there is a pathway" to see the investigation to an end game.

Apparently it's not a crime unless you actively commit it yourself; being asked to/knowing about it is not enough. At least that is Trump's defense on the hacking; that he knew about it is no big deal

So they will be bunk mates. The sitcom writes itself.

Sounds like a plan.
