  • Inspector General's Report On Comey

    Just came out - a lot to go through. He certainly violated policy, but no charges are being brought.

    No surprise. There's a different legal standard for those in power.

        Of course not. It's our two-tier justice system at work.

            There is another report coming correct? About the FISA thing?

              That's because what he did was not criminal, they had no choice. He could possibly have gotten the info out in another way, rather than violating DOJ policy, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

                It wasn't illegal. They can't prosecute unless the act is illegal.

                  Yes, we know, you're all for authoritarianism rather than the rule of law. Too bad, this is still a democracy!

                    There are several reports coming... but that's all we've been getting are reports that expose just how corrupt the Obama administration and agencies really were, and then nothing ever comes of it. It's frustrating.

                      Gee, even with Trump and his appointees at the helm they can't do anything about it. Ever think that maybe you're just a biased birdbrain whose been lied to?

                        So leaking classified information to a reporter isn't illegal?

                          Seer, you need to get the story straight before making an argument. Comey didn't leak classified information, he gave "sensitive information" to the press which is against DOJ rules, but not illegal, hence the decision not to prosecute.

                              The fact that they said they had decided not to prosecute seems to suggest that it was illegal.

                              I'm always still in trouble again
