Comey has spoken....

I doubt it, he, along with many think Trump is honest. It would be funny if our nation wasn't at risk. I mean the guy went to the ME not even knowing we had a military base in Qatar.

But I bet he know how many States we have, as opposed to Obama, and he hasn't proclaimed he landed under fire, like Hillary.

You really need to think better about what examples you intend to use; because you continually make yourself appear naïve and in-informed. :good4u:

:dealwithit:
 
The criminal aspect is a strawman.

The take home is that Comey is a leaker and his leak was intended to damage Trump. Couple that with the fact he refused to go public with what he knew to be true---Trump wasn't a subject of investigation.

He's a Swamp Weasel. Comey saw all the fake news headlines claiming Trump was subject of an investigation---yet he knew better. He might as well come out of the closet as part of The Resistance.

He deserved be fired while he was on the other side of the country. And he deserved to have his office cleaned out while he was gone.

It would have been even more dramatic, if they would have waited until he returned to DC, then stopped him at the entrance to the FBI (with reporters on hand), and told him he wasn't allowed to enter.
While he stood there in wonderment and confusion, they could have then called, had his stuff brought down to him, and demanded he surrender his gun, badge, and FBI ID.

NOW, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN EPIC.

You hang onto that, bravs. Brighter legal minds than yours disagree.

Did Comey violate executive privilege by testifying in the Senate and disclosing his conversations with the president?

No, according to experts on executive privilege, in part because Comey is no longer an administration official. Moreover, the president may have waived any privilege by also
publicly discussing his contacts with Comey.

“Executive privilege does not apply to a private citizen who is called to testify before the Senate,” said Mark J. Rozell, dean of the school of policy and government at George Mason University and the author of a 2010 book on executive privilege. “Trump tripped himself up, first by speaking about his conversation and by firing Comey.”

Typically, legal privileges are invoked by people who have evidence or documents that someone else is seeking. By invoking their privilege, they are saying they are refusing to turn over the material. But in this instance, Comey was a private citizen who was willing to speak to the Senate. “There is no legal prohibition on him, as a private citizen, discussing his conversations with the president,” Rozell said, so long as he was not revealing information that was classified as secret. And Comey said Thursday that he intentionally ensured that nothing in his memos about the Trump meetings contained anything that could be considered classified material

So did Comey violate any law or privilege by releasing the memo recounting his conversations with Trump?


Probably not. Several lawyers said he was free to reveal the information. But some were troubled by Comey disclosing the actual memo.

“These were unclassified notes made by Comey himself. I know of no legal bar to his releasing them to the press,” said Walter Dellinger, a former White House lawyer under President Clinton.

Lawyers pointed to the dozens of books written in which former White House aides described their times working with the president, including details about their confidential conversations. The 1st Amendment and its protection for the freedom of speech would probably stand in the way of any effort to block such a book, assuming it did not reveal classified information."

The problem is that Comey’s description of his use of an FBI computer to create memoranda to file suggests that these are arguably government documents. Comey admitted that he thought he raised the issue with his staff and recognized that they might be needed by the Department or Congress. They read like a type of field 302 form, which are core investigatory documents.

The admission of leaking the memos is problematic given the overall controversy involving leakers undermining the Administration. Indeed, it creates a curious scene of a former director leaking material against the President after the President repeatedly asked him to crack down on leakers.

Besides being subject to Nondisclosure Agreements, Comey falls under federal laws governing the disclosure of classified and nonclassified information. Assuming that the memos were not classified (though it seems odd that it would not be classified even on the confidential level), there is 18 U.S.C. § 641 which makes it a crime to steal, sell, or convey “any record, voucher, money, or thing of value of the United States or of any department or agency thereof.”

There are also ethical and departmental rules against the use of material to damage a former represented person or individual or firm related to prior representation. The FBI website states:

Dissemination of FBI information is made strictly in accordance with provisions of the Privacy Act; Title 5, United States Code, Section 552a; FBI policy and procedures regarding discretionary release of information in accordance with the Privacy Act; and other applicable federal orders and directives.”

Comey, now being a civilian may effect the rules and guidelines above but then the gov. document can be considered a stolen
document that was released to the public. I don't see why becoming a civilian would absolve you from the laws...is you steal a document and quit or get fired from your job don't
make the thief any less responsible for the theft....don't worry about it....the case would probably go to a district federal judge appointed by Obama and dismissed....


The only thing is, the public will know he committed a crime just like Hillary did with her emails....it cost her the election, but Comey will pay nothing....

So basically you just responded; because it made you "feel" good, seeing as how you had nothing of substance. :good4u:
