Isn’t It Ironic – Comey Being Probed For Leaking Classified Documents

Friday, 20 April 2018, 15:21 BFH Uncategorized 13

We’re going to see what reasonable prosecutors do when confronted with evidence of leaking classified evidence.

What’s very clear here is COMEY’S INTENT.

WSJ-

At least two of the memos that former FBI Director James Comey gave to a friend outside of the government contained information that officials now consider classified, according to people familiar with the matter, prompting a review by the Justice Department’s internal watchdog.

Of those two memos, Mr. Comey himself redacted elements of one that he knew to be classified to protect secrets before he handed the documents over to his friend. He determined at the time that another memo contained no classified information, but after he left the Federal Bureau of Investigation, bureau officials upgraded it to “confidential,” the lowest level of classification.

The Justice Department inspector general is now conducting an investigation into classification issues related to the Comey memos, according to a person familiar with the matter. Mr. Comey has said he considered the memos personal rather than government documents. He has told Congress that he wrote them and authorized their release to the media “as a private citizen.”

Mr. Comey gave four total memos to his friend Daniel Richman, a former federal prosecutor who is now a professor at Columbia Law School, people familiar with the matter said. Three were considered unclassified at the time and one was classified.

  2. And on a somewhat related note, the DNC is filing a lawsuit against Russia, Trump, and Wikileaks, for their role in the election. What the hell are they thinking, doesn’t that require them to produce the server that they say was hacked?

  4. Documents written by employees in the course of their jobs are the property of the employer. Just because “he considered the memos personal” does not make them so. Lock Him Up!

  6. Am I the only one who never again wants to hear the names Comey, Mueller, McCabe, Strzok, et al, ever again? The whole thing is just tiresome.

    Yeah. There’s a process and they all should probably go to jail, but Good God. We’ve been talking about these losers every day for two years. Or thereabouts.

    Every damned day.

    I know. Shut up, Henry.

    I’m just being bitchy. Or prickish.

  8. The only problems i see with the DNC lawsuit, is they will shop for a far-left judge, in a far-left jurisdiction where they will select a far, far-left jury. “Rules of evidence be damned, we must destroy Trump!”
