JAMES COMEY: INDICTED BUT NOT PROSECUTED.

"The responsibility to protect sensitive law enforcement information falls in large part to the employees of the FBI who have access to it through their daily duties. On occasion, some of these employees may disagree with decisions by prosecutors, judges, or higher ranking FBI and Department officials about the actions to take or not take in criminal and counterintelligence matters. They may even, in some situations, distrust the legitimacy of those supervisory, prosecutorial, or judicial decisions. But even when these employees believe that their most strongly-held personal convictions might be served by an unauthorized disclosure, the FBI depends on them not to disclose sensitive information. 

Former Director Comey failed to live up to this responsibility. By not safeguarding sensitive information obtained during the course of his FBI employment, and by using it to create public pressure for official action, Comey set a dangerous example for the over 35,000 current FBI employees—and the many thousands more former FBI employees—who similarly have access to or knowledge of non-public information. Comey said he was compelled to take these actions “if I love this country...and I love the Department of Justice, and I love the FBI.” However, were current or former FBI employees to follow the former Director's example and disclose sensitive information in service of their own strongly held personal convictions, the FBI would be unable to dispatch its law enforcement duties properly, as Comey himself noted in his March 20, 2017 congressional testimony. 

Comey expressed a similar concern to President Trump, according to Memo 4, in discussing leaks of FBI information, telling Trump that the FBI's ability to conduct its work is compromised “if people run around telling the press what we do.” This is no doubt part of the reason why Comey’s closest advisors used the words “surprised,” “stunned,” “shocked,” and “disappointment” to describe their reactions to learning what Comey had done. 

We have previously faulted Comey for acting unilaterally and inconsistent with Department policy. Comey’s unauthorized disclosure of sensitive law enforcement information about the Flynn investigation merits similar criticism. In a country built on the rule of law, it is of utmost importance that all FBI employees adhere to Department and FBI policies, particularly when confronted by what appear to be extraordinary circumstances or compelling personal convictions. Comey had several other lawful options available to him to advocate for the appointment of a Special Counsel, which he told us was his goal in making the disclosure. What was not permitted was the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive investigative information, obtained during the course of FBI employment, in order to achieve a personally desired outcome. 

The OIG has provided this report to the FBI and to the Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility for action they deem appropriate." - IG Report, page 59-60.)

ICHEOKU says akin to the Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton October 2016 similar indictment without consequences, where the then FBI director James Comey made out a compelling case for her criminal liability, but upended it by saying that no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute the case; the Inspector General literally indicted James Comey in the released report, but peradventure the Justice Department deemed it inappropriate to and will not prosecute James Comey for his intentional misdeeds and you wonder, if, in fact, the justice system is really a one-cap-fits-all accountability system. 

Anyway, ICHEOKU as well as the watching public are still askance as to why the former, ever sanctimonious FBI director, James Comey, was not marched off in handcuffs, prelude to his criminal prosecution. He was a former employee of the FBI and failed to protect information which came to him by reason of his employment. But for his employment, he would not have had access to the information, thus making it a product of his employment and therefore a protected information, but he went ahead and leaked it, regardless. James Comey also put his personal desires above the FBI standing rules by acting in the fashion he acted. He leaked a protect information just to satisfy his personal crave for vengeance against the president; a payback for his firing. Now, in addition to a leaky Comey, a vindictive Comey will also become one of his sobriquets. 

But for a man who said that he does not do a weasel move, ICHEOKU wonders how else his move against the president could be described other than simply weaselly. May be it was not okay for people in the FBI to run around telling the press what they do, but it is okay for James Comey, as shown by his own conduct, to run around and telling the press what he did? The only reasonable inference being that it is either James Comey does not fall within the definition of a person in the FBI, bound by this non disclosure rule or James Comey was above the FBI, hence a different rule applied to him specifically. 

What a specimen of human contradiction he really is and this was a guy that led the Federal Bureau of Investigation and for such a long time. He would have gotten away with it if not for a courageous President Donald John Trump who decided to take him on and successfully unmasked the creep who was formerly masquerading as the nation's chief law enforcement officer. What a way to write the last chapter of his career as another one bites the dust, James Comey, that is. ICHEOKU agrees with he Inspector General that James Comey's conduct was a dangerous example for all the thousands of subordinates in the FBI. 

An inveterate traducer of the president and now he is totally and completely vanquished, exposed as a despicable lying weasel, who should never have headed the FBI. He said he does not do sneaky things, but he did more than sneaky things. He said that he does not leak but he leaked more than a broken faucet. He said that he does not do weasel moves but real weasels are now jealous of his weasel moves. James Comey, a career of shame. Karma is real.
