None of Comey’s ‘leaks’ where memo’s that where classified…
No charges will be brought against him…
One somehow would think that Barr or Trump DO NOT want Comey all over the media….AGAIN…
Comey worked very hard to cover his rear….
Former FBI Director James B. Comey violated FBI policies in how he handled memos that detailed his controversial interactions with President Trump, the Justice Department’s internal watchdog found in a report released Thursday, both in engineering the release of their contents to the press and storing them at his home without telling the FBI.
The inspector general found that the memos — which described, among other things, how Trump had pressed Comey for loyalty and asked him about letting go an investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn — were official records, and as such, Comey’s treatment of them broke the rules.

The former FBI director gave one of the memos — which included information the inspector general called “sensitive,” but unclassified — to a friend and authorized him to share its contents. He also stored four of the documents in a safe in his personal home and provided copies to his personal attorneys without FBI authorization, the inspector general found.
One of those memos shared with the attorneys was later determined to contain information, such as the names of foreign countries being discussed by Trump, that was classified as confidential, the lowest level of secrecy, the inspector general wrote.
On Twitter, Comey noted that the inspector general found “no evidence” that he or his attorneys released any classified information to the media….
Note…
The Justice Dept. is thinking about charges against another ex-FBI boss Andrew McCabe for ‘leaks’….

Trump said Comey “should be ashamed of himself.”
The fact that Trump would tell anyone to be “ashamed of himself” is so rich with irony that it be beyond description.
Well the Republican Party lets Trump get away with it so why not?
The guy who banged a porn star right after his third wife gave birth to his fifth child and then paid her 6 figures not to talk about his mushroom dick actually went after a fellow Republican for his relatively classy affair.
And did Republicans like Mitch McConnell or Mitt Romney defend Mark Sanford?
Nope they let him get away with it.
Pathetic party to it’s core.
Personally?
I think Trump is a bit afraid of Comey
His statement is RWALLY soft….
No ‘lock him up?’
Barr HAD to have run this call past Trump in advance….
