President Trump was right!
This morning, President Trump sounded off against the recently leaked memos from former FBI Director James Comey by tweeting the following:
So General Michael Flynn’s life can be totally destroyed while Shadey James Comey can Leak and Lie and make lots of money from a third rate book (that should never have been written). Is that really the way life in America is supposed to work? I don’t think so!

Last night, after the Justice Department OK’d the release of Comey’s memos detailing his interactions with Trump, a few of those memos leaked to the public.
Of the many revelations from those memos was the possibility that Comey actually tried to set Trump up in order for the media to report on the infamous “pee” dossier.
But now it looks like Comey could be in big trouble. With the release of the memos comes the news that Comey actually leaked classified information last year. Trump pointed out as much just days ago:
James Comey Memos just out and show clearly that there was NO COLLUSION and NO OBSTRUCTION. Also, he leaked classified information. WOW! Will the Witch Hunt continue?

Now it looks like the Justice Department is investigating Comey after it was revealed that Comey did, in fact, leak classified information.
The Wall Street Journal reports:
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.”

Let’s hope the Justice Department holds him accountable.
