IG Horowitz reportedly has made a criminal referral on James Comey
By Tiberiu Dianu

According to multiple sources as reported by John Solomon of The Hill, Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz has referred former FBI Director James Comey for possible prosecution under the classified information protection laws under two counts:

-(a) leaking classified information, and

-(b) showing “lack of candor” (a euphemism for lying) with investigations, after the FBI investigated President Trump over the Russian collusion.

Didn't we just have a thread yesterday that claimed Comey would NOT be prosecuted for leaking information/details?

I am so bored with this crap.  Either it happens or it doesn't.  Stop with the constant conjecture.  It just amounts to fake news.

He's made the referral, but I heard on the news last night that the DOJ was declining to prosecute.   :shrug:

As I understand this very "fluid" situation, Horowitz created a "cut out" report from his work specifically focused on Comey's leaking activities....  that is what the DoJ has declined to prosecute.

At the same time there is a fair amount of buzz surrounding Horowtiz's upcoming "FISA abuses" report....  that is the one that people like Solomon are saying is devastating to Comey (and a bunch of others involved with the FISA warrants)...  the theory is that Barr's DoJ is passing on the 'minor' leaking referral and waiting for the big enchilada....

Just like they decline to prosecute Asst Director Andy MaCabe for lying to the FBI. Why is it only GOPer like Gen Flynn get charged?

There's another reason that the DOJ is taking this path.

Hillary Clinton has said more than once that if she goes down, she is taking Washington down with her.

She was gleaning data on her potential opponents and enemies when Barack was just a boy.

Everyone knows that Obama compiled the biggest data base on Americans once he gained control of our Intelligence agencies.  Add what Hillary knows and you can understand why "no intent" applied to her.

I think James Comey did what anybody with a brain would do.... insure that if anything happened to you, that certain people would be exposed.

It's just a shame Seth Rich didn't get the opportunity to protect himself.

This is (was) my understanding, too.  That Horowitz's report made the referral for indictment to the DOJ, but the DOJ declined to prosecute because he didn't have malicious intent -- or some such nonsense.

But, this seems to have changed, at least in the 1:00 hour.   :laugh:   @DCPatriot

OK, @DCPatriot, here it is:

Quote
.....

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.

But Comey and others inside the FBI and the DOJ during his tenure still face legal jeopardy in ongoing probes by the IG and Barr-appointed special prosecutor John Durham. Those investigations are focused on the origins of the Russia investigation that included a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant targeting the Trump campaign at the end of the 2016 election, the source said....

This sounds promising.

Yes, it does, and it covers the ground Horowitz will expose when the IG Report is issued.  "Tomorrow," when we get the Free Beer.

Thanks for the clarification.
