My have the tables turned.
Former FBI Director James Comey has made a big show of being a stalwart law enforcer, all to the point of refusing to show deference to the President of the United States.
If you remember, if it was Comey who, being none too impressed with President Trump, actually fomented the ongoing investigation into possible Russian collusion during the 2016 campaign. Comey did so by leaking information to his law school buddy, Daniel Richman. This information lit the spark that ignited the entire Mueller-led probe into the Trump campaign’s connection to Russia, and continues to act as a yoke on the Administration to this day.
At the time, President Trump decried the leaks as illegal, as they contained classified information:
James Comey leaked CLASSIFIED INFORMATION to the media. That is so illegal!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 10, 2017
Now we have confirmation that Trump was right: Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley is accusing Comey of leaking classified information in order to snare Trump in a trap.
The Daily Caller’s Chuck Ross reports:
James Comey may have leaked at least one classified memo to a friend shortly after he was fired as FBI director.
That’s an assessment from Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley, who wrote a letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on Wednesday demanding answers about the handling of memos that Comey wrote following his conversations with President Trump.

Here is the important part: “Grassley noted that he and his staff recently reviewed seven memos that Comey wrote after his meetings with Trump. Four of those documents contained information classified as ‘CONFIDENTIAL’ or ‘SECRET.'”
In his letter, Grassley writes, “If it’s true that Professor Richman had four of the seven memos, then in light of the fact that four of the seven memos the Committee reviewed are classified, it would appear that at least one memo the former FBI director gave Professor Richman contained classified information.”
It looks like Comey isn’t the fearless white knight the media makes him out to be. It’s one thing to stand up to a dangerous president if you think your country is in danger. It’s another to knowingly break the law in order to demonstrate wrongdoing.
Let’s not forget that the FBI, under Comey’s direction, had been investigating the Trump campaign for Russian connections nearly a year before Comey was fired by the President.
One would assume that if Comey had any solid evidence of collusion, he would have presented it in a court of law before Trump gave him the boot.

Considering that Comey drafted a statement exonerating Hillary Clinton before the investigation was complete. So who is to say that all the memos he wrote of meetings with President Trump wasn’t also wrote before any meetings?
START ARRESTING THESE FOOLS SO THE 10% OF VOTERS UNDECIDED STOP TO REALIZE LIBERALS ARE BIGGER CROOKS THEN REPUBLICANS SO VOTE FOR TRUMP AND LET HIM KEEP CLEANING OUT BOTH SIDES OF THE PARTIES
Comey is a pious fraud
Best money can buy, F—-Bunch of Idiots for sale
They all must be pathological liars, and they have told so many lies that they believe them. They also have this idea that they are all above the law, and when Hillary won they could bury all of it. HA HA! Hillary didn’t win, and now you can all go to jail.
Yes, they all thought Hillary was going to win…The American people made a better choice…
Why is exposing treason a bad thing? Trump was dealing with the enemy to gain political dirt on Clinton. Putin wanted Trump to win, and Putin won.
As for sharing a Confidential document, you would need to demonstrate that the shared document was not redacted to hide the confidential information.
If anyone was dealing with the Russians, it was Hillary. Why do you think she was in a rush to delete 33,000 e-mails? Where is the proof that Trump was dealing with the enemy? There is none..After 1 year of this bogus collusion investigation and millions of taxpayer dollars nothing points to Trump for any collusion…Clinton, on the other hand…….Quit talking out of your a– Poppdavid…
James Comey is a corrupt FIXER for Hillary!

Comey, the Elite’s Fixer, “Busted”, Recieved Millions from Clintons
➡️ http://www.livetradingnews.com/comey-elites-fixer-busted-recieved-millions-clintons-42007.html
Very bad people in office the previous 8 years. Very dangerous for our Nation. They appear to be seeking the downfall of our Nation with all the destruction they did.
GEORGE SOROS AND THE GLOBALIST OPEN BORDER ARE TRYING TO TAKE OVER US AND EUROPE AT SAME TIME. ENYONE SAYS THERE ARE FOR OPEN BORDERS AND A POLITICIAN IS A TRAITOR AND NEEDS TO BE THROWN TO GITMO FOR LIFE
Then, Comey and the rest of the crimnal felons MUST go to jail. Whats the matter? Why dont they do it? Just stop talking about it and get it done!
So, what will be done about it, besides nothing.
(among other things)
Not sure what kind of “Agreement” was signed by the “Rats and Roaches” that allowed them to work together in devious accord! They don’t usually LIKE each other! Yet, they worked together in tandem, doing whatever depraved act it took to disrupt the “house” hold that they live in! Then smugly pat themselves on the back at how clever they were! We have been texting, ranting about, and frying the Internet talking about this for years, yet NO ONE has been charged! This is SICK! And has cost “WE the PEOPLE” dearly! Instead of continuing to hear our “employees” (Gov.Officials)making excuses, should all be fired, and hire someone qualified and capable of holding defending the LAW and our Constitution! Which has been run through a paper shredder, then bleached! And START with our DOJ leader who DOESN’T!
Everything would then be fruit of the poison tree and inadmissible. Smart move, dummy.
everyone knows any discussion with the POTUS is immediately called “Born Classified”…..
Comey and Hillary must be born stupid…. put that’s no excuse….
Not many honest politicians left. The money and power always gets to them. That’s why President Trump is such a good choice – he has plenty of both, whether he’s president or not. Drain the swamp!
Comey should be tried, found guilty, and sent to prison for a very long time! I think most of us knew he was guilty.
It’s about time our “elected representative” got up to speed with what the rest of the nation has known for a year, or so.
Wonder what these spineless guys will do with it now that they’ve been forced to “uncover” the FACTS?
“Cry, the beloved country….’
On behalf of the sailor who took pictures of his submarine to show friends and family (not for nefarious reasons), a simple “crime” (he admitted he knew it was against regulations) to be sentenced for a year in jail, lose all his veterans rights, his home to legal fee’s, his ability (as a felon) to obtain work, in short his whole life and life of his family members being ruined while Hillary commits serious crimes she is entirely knowledgeable of, and with the help and collusion of Obama government agencies walks away free and clear, there is clearly something wrong with our “justice” system.
President Trump, please pardon the sailor and restore his benefits (and way of life). I assure you, it is the right thing to do and every real American will agree with you.
When all is said and done, a whole bastion of people will be indicted, including Hillary, Huma, Comey, Lynch, Wasserman-Schultz, etc. I can’t believe how the Left is completely ignoring all the facts…do they just think the evidence will disappear? I’m waiting to see who turns up dead next ala the Clinton machine????
Don’t investigate just allow the voters to have their names put on a ballot. Guilty or Not Guilty. If the guilty verdicts outnumber the not guilty ones those folks get jail time (ten years). The out Harry Reid, Pelosi, Schumer, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Lynch, Comey, Mueller, Lee, Star, and a handful of other top Democrats on the ballot. Let the American people vote like a giant jury as to their guilt. Its the only way they will ever be convicted or serve any time for their crimes.
When the Clinton email case was opened, Mr. Comey could have chosen any one of 1000 FBI agents to oversee the case. Yet, he personally decided to oversee the case himself; for some reason. Could it be that he chose to assume total leadership over the case so he could continue to be the protector of Hillary Clinton from a real investigation? What better control is there when the investigator is already owned by the subject? I suggest that that is true. He has performed numerous things to sabotage the Hillary Clinton email case.
1. He provided immunity to the only witnesses who could successfully lead to substantiate criminal activities.
2. He interviewed Hillary Clinton but for only four hours on a Saturday. That was the extent of his determination of no guilt and he didn’t take notes.
3. Mr. Comey’s role was as an investigator. Yet Mr. Comey chose to usurp the role of prosecutor away from his supervisor Ms. Loretta Lynch. Comey as Investigator, had no authority to determine innocence or guilt, yet he exonerated Hillary Clinton and arrived at a “not guilty” verdict by declaring that there was a lack of “intent”; that is not required by the Rule of Law.
4. He ensured that justice was obstructed in the Hillary Clinton email investigation.
5. And he did many other irregularities to corrupt the entire case against Hillary Clinton.
Not the least surprised. All one had to do was listen to Comey read off a list of easily prosecutable crimes Hillary committed and then exonerate her (which he had no authority to do) by proclaiming she was “extremely careless” instead of “grossly negligent”. It was obvious from that moment “the fix was in”.

How many times are you going to make this same post ?
put the ass in jail for all his treason that he has done to this country– crooked as hell and part of the obama trash team–all the garbage in DC needs to removed and cleaned up — the bad nes ruin the good ones that really LOVE this country
In the next couple of elections each and every member of the House of Representatives and Senate needs to be changed for NEW BLOOD who doesn’t OWE any POLITICAL DEBTS and WE CAN MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. This is the only way to get our GREAT COUNTRY back on track.
No bombshell here.. It has become public thinking many or most in the DC Elite behave as if they see themselves beyond the purvue of laws they’ve written to apply to the rest of us. from Healthcare to National secrets.. and beyond. They pretty much do anything they want, we are supposed to play by the rules and pay for it all. If anyone in the beltway gets jammed up in the laws, they just get together with the propaganda ministry, and crank out one spin after another via the mass media until the facts are so obfuscated and so twisted and so opinionated there’s no sorting it out, we are supposed to get tired of fighting to bring out the truth and give up. It’s what the other countries called The Big Lie … Interestingly, Hillary’s house just caught fire according the the ‘news’. One has to wonder if it was holding her “servers”.. and if they survived…
We all know they are felons. Why aren’t they all in jail? Sessions needs to do his job!
Brian, Either Jeff Sessions is afraid or doesn’t know what to do in either case it is taking too long to get anything done to satisfy a majority of the American people, he needs to either do something or resign.
Having the FBI investigate the Clintons- Comey – Mueller and Freeh is like having the Mafia investigate Al Capone.
Comey, Mueller and how many others in the FBI are all corrupt and are all backing up each others lies.
Millions of us watched the investigation into Comey, we know this and it is taking too long for anything to be done to any of these people, including Lynch who Comey said forced him to not call looking into Hillary an investigation.
So much came out and so little has been done.
You are so right Yadja.
