James Comey received his law degree from the University of Chicago in 1985, and while the former FBI head hasn’t practiced law in years, his bar association membership is being challenged anyway.
The cause? Comey allegedly leaking memos detailing his interactions with President Donald Trump. Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley has accused Comey of leaking classified information to the press, and President Trump’s lawyers allege that Comey leaked classified information to the press for months before being fired.
Now he’s going to suffer the consequences for the leaks.
According to The Blaze,
Attorney Ty Clevenger wrote the New York lawyers’ disciplinary committee on Friday, saying that if Comey leaked classified information, it should boost the case against him, Sen. Charles Grassley earlier this week revealed that Comey allegedly wrote seven memos about his interactions with Trump. The government believes at least four of the memos may contain classified information. Additionally, Comey is accused of leaking at least four memos to a friend who is a law professor.
Clevenger maintains that Comey’s actions go against New York bar rules that prohibit attorneys from “illegal conduct that adversely reflects on the lawyer’s honesty, trustworthiness or fitness as a lawyer.”
Clevenger previously complained to the NY Bar Association in October that Comey had lied to Congress and destroyed potential evidence. The complaint came after it hit the news that Comey had drafted his letter exonerating Hillary Clinton months before the FBI even interviewed her, and also touched up language detailing her wrongdoings to make them seem less dramatic.
In his latest complaint, Clevenger wrote that “If Mr. Comey deliberately leaked the documents, his breach of duty was analogous to willful breach of client confidentiality, and that reflects adversely on his ‘honesty, trustworthiness or fitness as a lawyer.’”
Just days ago, President Trump included Comey alongside Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin as people legal action should be taken against.
Crooked Hillary Clinton’s top aid, Huma Abedin, has been accused of disregarding basic security protocols. She put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign agents. Remember sailors pictures on submarine? Jail! Deep State Justice Dept must finally act? Also on Comey & others

Share this story with others to show them that Comey is suffering the consequences of trying to take down President Trump!
I do hope the FBI and the CIA, (etc) become an honerable organization again. This coup just shows how important it is to “Mind the Store”… from Rats and Thieves who steal and give away all the merchandise America has invested in since her inceptionn…. How SAD…. How Disgraceful. !!!
At 76 years old I remember the high regard I had as a child for the FBI. Men of honor, The Untouchables. I am sorry that I lived to see this turn of events.
all those dead folks left in hillary’s wake, makes me think that maybe the f.b.i. also had a hand in this too. think maybe those cases should be looked at once again, this time, more closely, by an outside source. maybe comey knocked them off for the clintons?
I believe that what was going on was they thought they could cover up all there dirt and old Hillary would slip in as president. THEY SURE AS HELL GOT FOOLED AND THANK GOD FOR THAT.
The NY bar Association? SOME HOPE! They’re all crooked ambulance chasers!!!
Amazing how deep this swamp is. Trump is going to need a backhoe and septic tank bilge pump to get rid of all of these Washington swamp monsters. I say give him another 7 years to finish the job. America will be the better for it.
He needs to lose it . Anyone that would do as he did for the Clinton’s when he was in the job for the American people. Not the Clinton’s only.
Comey the commie should be in prison already. What takes so long? He’s protected from HellAviv???
Comey teh commie should be in prison already. What takes so long? He’s protected from HellAviv???
Slowly but surely the crooked will bite the dust.
Loosing his Bar Association membership should be the least of Comey’s worries. He should go to jail.
Don’t want to feed him in prison.
Don’t want to waste a good rope or bullet either or the electricity to fry him or the cost of an IV to does him.
Public stocks – if you have a bad day, go dance on his putrifying carcass
Comey is guilty and needs to go to jail and lose his law license.
Of course something NEEDS to be done, but it won’t be. Instead, they will at least hopefully go away and stay away.
Hunter, I do not know if you are guessing or you have facts. I will support you with this. You are one hundred percent correct. The ABA cares only for the ABA and it contains some of the crookedest people in the world. Check out Black Robes at http://wiseowl7.wixsite.com/mysite.
This bar has no interest in anything ethical. They will protect the worst of the worst. They sided with lawyers who sued victims of scams. See “Norvergence”
killary had her law license revoked after lying during WATERGATE trial. she has never stopped since taken out . they have had people taken out for crossing them if they are about to rat on them.
Its not the FBI. Its the FBM now or Federal Bureau of Matters. Loretta said so.
Mike;…So did Obama’s tranny “wife”..Lost her license to practice law in Illinois because of a real estate scam…
Bill Clinton had his law license revoked for “giving false testimony under oath” during the Paula Jones case. Why should Comey be treated different? Bath House Barry whoever the hell he really is had to surrender his law license to avoid prosecution for lying on hius bar application. What’s worse a crooked cop or a crooked lawyer?
look who was the head of our Country the idiot Obama, so what can you expect him to do? appoint someone smarter than him?
I am afraid that you are more correct than anyone will admit to .
Sheila said, “How did such a stupid person become head of the FBI?” The answer is, the Democrats bought him – body, mind and soul. We can’t really blame him; he knew Killary would have had him done in if he hadn’t let them attach his strings and make him dance. This was all meant to go away when Killary won and when Plan A didn’t work, rich politicians always have a Plan B, C, D, E, etc. The Dems have many scape goats with whom to divert attention away from the Big Guns. We can rest assured that many more will go down while they remain untouchable.
“How did such a stupid person become head of the FBI?” one wonders.
My guess is that the spiderweb of the democrats and the clintons/obama is far greater than anyone can imagine. Ethics, honesty, responsibility is 2nd nature to the democrats. 1st priority is self, 2nd is party, 3rd is country.
To Carol Nanno: The question is: Will the criminal behavior of those you mentioned in your post will ever see the light of day? Those who have been accused are working like hell to get rid of Trump who is the only one that can make it happen. Wanna take bets?
I hope you are right!
There are sooooo many people who are going to fall when the full extent of their crimes/treason are finally exposed. I can’t wait!
Comey should lose far more than his bar membership, he should lose his freedom & spend years in an orange jumpsuit. He is beyond corrupt & a total disgrace to the FBI.
The sins of Comey are far to aggregious to be just called intentful treason. H eneeds to be publicly ridiculed before the entire nation. He may still be brought into the R.I.C.O.case coming against 17 members of the Obama administration and 12 from the HRC campaign. It takes time and no leaks. They know it is coming. Why do you think you have not seen RUDY for such a long time. The SESSIONS thing is to keep their eye off the ball. This is 1000x bigger then his mafia caper and it will hit like a missle. you will not believe the no bail -flight risk attachments.Now watch what happens. Make copies of this before they take it down !!!!!!!!
Carol you must be one of those ass kisser of obama the traitor and killary clinton the crook.
You cannot reason with a Snowflake they are beyond hope since they posses a one track mind.
you just clean your house Carol… and bake some cookies while you’re at it!
would someone please tell grassey and his friends to clean there own house before they start on any one else.
He should lose more than that for leaking Classified information, like his freedom for a couple of years.
