    • BREAKING: James Comey Referred for Prosecution, DOJ Responds
    Posted at 10:47 pm on July 31, 2019 by Bonchie
     
    According to sources, via The Hill, James Comey was referred for prosecution by IG Horowitz in his yet to be released report on the handling of the Trump-Russia investigation.

    Quote
    Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz’s team referred Comey for possible prosecution under the classified information protection laws, but Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors working for Attorney General William Barr reportedly have decided to decline prosecution – a decision that’s likely to upset Comey’s conservative critics.
    Yes, you read that right. He was referred for prosecution but won’t be prosecuted because of a lack of intent despite the fact that the report itself is said to fillet him for his actions.

    This is the same James Comey who publicly said he leaked the memos on purpose to get a special counsel appointed. Apparently, that doesn’t qualify as intent somehow.

    As many of us have speculated for years, there will be no justice here because no one in D.C. ever pays for their actions. Comey is part of the protected class and is treated as such.

    There is a chance the sources are wrong here about prosecution, but that’s unlikely.

    The DOJ has bigger crimes and fish to fry.

    If Comey were to be prosecuted for leaking, which many lawmakers and prosecutors have done, this would take up time and money, and it is not worth the expense, especially when he has committed far more serious crimes. Others who have leaked stories, even though classified, were not prosecuted, so perhaps precedents have been set.

    • This is a very short 5 minute video with a great discussion between Senator Graham and Sean Hannity.
    They both agree that Barr's decision to decline prosecuting Comey for the leaks is a good move, especially if that case is not rock solid.

    • It will be interesting what Dave of the X22 Report has to say about this.

    All the so called evidence in the Mueller Report came from hearsay articles from the New York Times, and the Washington
    Post.

    The sad thing these articles go practically to all the Newspapers in the country and the world.
    And the readers swallow the lies.
