DOJ watchdog releases report on James Comey's leaks of Trump meeting memos

Washington (CNN)The Justice Department's inspector general on Thursday released a long-awaited report on former FBI Director James Comey's handling of memos he took of meetings with President Donald Trump early in 2017.

The inspector general was looking into whether Comey improperly shared classified information when he sent some parts of the memos to a friend of his who shared the information with the press in the days after Trump fired him.

The inspector general's office had referred Comey for potential prosecution earlier this summer based on his handling of them, CNN previously reported. The Justice Department declined to bring a case, in part because prosecutors didn't believe there was evidence to show Comey knew and intended to violate laws on dealing with classified information, a person familiar with the referral said.
The seven memos, which offer up stark examples of Trump's early attempts to disrupt a federal probe into his inner circle, became a catalyst for the special counsel investigation when the contents of one first appeared in The New York Times. Comey testified in a 2017 Senate hearing that he had sent documents to a friend, Columbia University law school professor Daniel Richman, and directed him to share the substance with a reporter. Trump has blasted Comey as a "leaker" for Comey's actions.

In one of the most consequential memos -- the one which Comey asked Richman to detail to a reporter -- Comey described a one-on-one meeting he had with Trump in the Oval Office where the President suggested he scuttle the federal investigation into Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser.

"I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go," Comey recalled Trump saying, according to a copy of the memo.

Inspector General: Justice Department declined to prosecute Comey. For our part: 'We conclude that Comey’s retention, handling, and dissemination of certain Memos violated Department and FBI policies, and his FBI Employment Agreement.' http://

DOJ IG "found no evidence that Comey or his attorneys released any of the classified information contained in any of the memos to members of the media." I don’t need a public apology from those who defamed me, but a quick message with a “sorry we lied about you” would be nice.

And to all those who’ve spent two years talking about me “going to jail” or being a “liar and a leaker”—ask yourselves why you still trust people who gave you bad info for so long, including the president.

BREAKING: Comey granted his New York Times leaker pal Richman "special" classified clearance up to TS/SCI from June 2015 (when Trump announced his candidacy) to July 2017 (after Trump fired Comey), even though Richman was employed as a college professor and not the FBI

This is an odd framing. The IG exonerated Comey, meaning Trump's allegation total BS

So, the IG report says Comey violated policies, and from that I can see in this morning's reporting, he won't be prosecuted and gets away scot-free.  And so begins my prediction that nothing will come of the IG report.

IG Report on Comey's handling of classified memos is out. Page 2 says Comey specifically asked his friend to leak a memo to Michael Schmidt of the NYT. Schmidt regularly received and regurgitated leaks that falsely suggested a treasonous Russia collusion conspiracy existed.

Page 4: Comey claimed the memos he leaked in retaliation for President Trump's firing of him were personal but "Merely labeling a document as 'personal' or 'private' does not alter the official nature of a document if it is 'used in the transaction of public business.'

DOJ IG found "no evidence" that @Comey
 "released any of the classified information contained in any of the Memos."
BUT -- it found that Comey violated FBI policies and set a "dangerous example...by safeguarding sensitive information" stemming from his time at the FBI

So James Comey was- it’s official now- a sanctimonious, self-righteous bureaucrat who believed in holding other people to standards that he himself was free to break when he saw fit

This should surprise no one

The IG said you violated rules to advance a personal agenda that was false.

Yup.  Barr is officially covering for Comey.  He'll be covering for the rest in the days to come.  Obastard's minions are going to be in the clear as "we get this behind us."

Don’t worry – they are declining to press any charges on this piddling memo stuff, because much bigger things are coming down. Joe Di Genova and Qanon said so.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.
