Comey has broken enough laws that not prosecuting him for leaked memos is a low priority. I would expect they go for something on the lines of treason or espionage.
This is just one small piece of the puzzle. Thw FISA investigatiin is what will tie him up. This was just about leaking. He didnt leak the memos. He gave them to someone else to do that.
The really sad part Stink is that nothing will come of it and that's the tell as to how out of control our whole government is with respect to individuals undermining the will of the people. What it screams is not just Deep State, but an entire Shadow Government. And that my friend every dae mned person with a brain should be concerned about regardless of political leaning. An FBI or DOJ that pulls these kinds of stunts and gets a wrist slap is just a decision or two away from being a full blown Gestapo or Stasi or KGB.
Yup. And it's another one of those really poorly hidden secrets.
I don't feel like looking it up, but everyone recall when Schmucky said something to the effect of "You're a fool to be publicly criticizing the Intelligence Community, they'll find 7 ways to Sunday to ruin you."? So, he clearly knew and knows this, and was telling the newb Trump to effectively "watch your asss".
This has been allowed to fester for 100+ years, dating all the way back to Hoover, and sadly The Drumpf is the first one in my lifetime to come close to taking this on.
Think how quickly even a seasoned guy like Flynn buckled, does Barr also have the stomach for this fight?
We'll see. I certainly hope so.

it's reason #42907435349857 why 2016 mattered more than any in my lifetime....
the msm and supposed 'p0ntiffs' call it, "divisive in division." (or did I pull that one out of my arse )
fingers are still crossed "no-holds-Barr" has the 'nads' to squeeze with authority....he has the latter wrapped up...

I would very much like to think that this is so. James Comey is worse than a disgrace. He is a poison on our American system.
But I fear that nothing will happen to him. The only accountability for swamp monsters seems to be banishment from the swamp.

I agree more with you than I do with UofMState. Nothing will come of it even though he has been found guilty of leaking and retaining records. He probably will come out on the LameStreamMedia as a hero and now he can name his price on appearances.
It's wrong, entirely wrong. That Lurch should be prosecuted.

So what if he didn't personally leak the memos, he had them which he shouldn't have, he gave them to someone who didn't have the clearance with instructions for him to leak them. I'm really sorry for this country, we're on our way to perdition.

So if he gave the plans to Ft. Knox to someone to rob it, he wouldn't be guilty of anything?

He needs to be locked up so that everyone knows in the future you can't get away with this. And it would be a sign that the law applies to everyone, not just those not in favor with the DOJ or DA.

Absolutely! But he won't be and here's why. Anyone who attains any level in a security agency knows the goods on everyone else in that agency, perhaps some on people in other agencies, and a boat load on the politicians.
Like Epstein he has the goods on a lot of CEO types as well.
Unlike Epstein they won't kill him because anyone in that service would fear that precedent. So like big time football coaches, when they are fired they keep their benefits package, aren't prosecuted, and stay on the payroll tangentially just to purchase their silence because what they know is mutually destructive to the institutions they served.
And if they try to go it alone, or strike back, they know that someone they love might have an accident.
So Comey will be kept and monitored and he knows it. His left wing speaking engagements will be part of his further service to whatever agenda he was working on from within the agency.
And at his age by the time what he knows isn't relevant anymore he'll likely be dead anyway.

I agree Comey is a scumbag. What I am saying is the stuff on him coming down the pike will be a lot worse and easier to indict with. FISA abuse stuff will be all about him. Obama was in on that stuff too. It will be a mess.
The Department of Justice Inspector General just fired the first of three cruise missiles trained on Mr. Comey with devastating impact. Comey’s reaction? “Feel free to apologize to me.”
Creating a separate record system in the FBI is a mortal sin, and with good reason. Every newly minted agent at Quantico learns this as part of FBI 101. Anytime an FBI agent, to include the director, collects information in an official capacity, that information must be documented, associated with a case file number and entered into the FBI’s case management system. Comey never did that. In fact, his now infamous memos weren’t entered into the official FBI system until after he was fired.
Having one system of record ensures that all information collected by the FBI is searchable, discoverable and transparently linked to the authorities that allow that collection. A separate, hidden record system gives rise to suspicions and disrupts the economy of trust that the FBI has worked hard to maintain with the American people.
