As James Comey trots around the country on his book-selling tour, tweeting bible quotes and nature scenes, a less serene series of events is playing out in Washington D.C. which suggests the former FBI Director may be in trouble over the memos he leaked to Columbia law professor Daniel Richman, allegedly detailing conversations between Comey and President Trump.

While Richman told CNN "No memo was given to me that was marked 'classified,' and James Comey told Congressional investigators he tried to "write it in such a way that I don't include anything that would trigger a classification," it appears the FBI's chief FOIA officer disagrees.
While we previously reported that Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said four of the 7 Comey memos he reviewed were "marked classified" at the "Secret" or "Confidential" level - tonight we find out that every single Comey memo was classified at the time, per Judicial Watch director of investigations Chris Farrell - who has a signed declaration from the FBI's chief FOIA officer to that effect:
We have a sworn declaration from David Hardy who is the chief FOIA officer of the FBI that we obtained just in the last few days, and in that sworn declaration, Mr. Hardy says that all of Comey's memos - all of them, were classified at the time they were written, and they remain classified. -Chris Farrell, Judicial Watch
Therefore, Farrell points out, Comey mishandled national defense information when he "knowingly and willfully" leaked them to his friend at Columbia University.
It's also mishandling of national defense information, which is a crime. So it's clear that Mr. Comey not only authored those documents, but then knowingly and willfully leaked them to persons unauthorized, which is in and of itself a national security crime. Mr. Comey should have been read his rights back on June 8th when he testified before the Senate.
In closing, Farrell tells Dobbs "Recently retired and active duty FBI agents have told me - and it's several of them, they consider Comey to be a dirty cop."
Heres hoping 2018 brings more ethical leadership, focused on the truth and lasting values. Happy New Year, everybody.

What was that about "more ethical leadership" Jim?

With incompetent Sessons as AG, and dirty lawyer Rosenstein as asst AG, i don't expect any law will be enforced.

Hence the massive push again to remove the threat due to mental incompetence. The new DOJ investigations into the Clinton Foundation and relook at how the E-mail Server case was handled are mortal threats. They're going for blood to shut those down before they lose this Game of Thrones for realz.

Leaking classified documents is one thing...
Leaking classified documents to intentionally trigger a fake Special Prosecution against a sitting President, costing millions of dollars (and in all likelihood Comey was point on the Fusion GPS meme before the election)? Treason or sedition - take your pick.
When Hillary said "We'll all hang if he gets elected" she wasn't kidding.

imo that is not clear at this point. why did he walk away from syria and allow most of isis to be destroyed? that some still survive at a u.s. army base hasn't really changed that assad is consolidating his rule, with the help of the iranians, hezbollah and the russians. and trump added the one state solution, which actually has a chance of success, to the (fifty years failed) two state solution as outcomes for palestine/israel that are acceptable to the u.s.

Jeff "Hans Brinker" Sessions was sent into his post to keep his finger in the dike. Looks like there are too many leaks to plug now, let's hope he gets washed away in the coming flood.

Fuck Sessions. What a worthless pos. Still no action on anything that matters, but fuck the 10th amendment we are going after weed. Jesus Christ what a fucking idiot.
In reply to … by macholatte
While I agree that there are far more important matters that Sessions could be looking at, we should be glad when he enforces laws - even ones we may disagree with - rather than bending and/or breaking them, like his two predecessors. And to the best of my ability to recall events, he hasn't pulled off a Waco or Ruby Ridge yet.
What I would like to see is Congress doing its job. They should pass a law, or better yet initiate a Constitutional amendment, delegating control of wee to the states. Unfortunately DC is keen on accumulating power. Most of them probably don't know the 10th. Or maybe they just don't care, since they keep reauthorizing Patriot Act crap and such.
