FBI Comey did break the law. He is a leaker. They were written when he was the FBI director. I believe he acted out of malice. Comey would not tell the public that the president was NOT under investigation , yet Comey allowed the fake narrative to continue for months and months on the left with the New York Times receiving the leaks.
Comey told President Trump he was not under investigation for a three month period.
President Trump was frustrated that Comey would not allow this fact to be made public. Comey was putting the screws to President Trump and Trump knew it. Not nice. Very telling of how Comey hated Trump from the beginning.
To me lying can be the sin of omission. Yes Comey never stated publicly that Trump was not under investigation; but he had his 'reasons' why he could not confirm the information he gave our President in private. Some can call that a shrewd politician and some can simply call it lying to hurt somebody they felt was an opponent. Why could he not state then what he can state now?
I also loved that statement from him before his testimony: Don't let Trump alone with me! https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/06/u...rump.html?_r=0. Comey was the head of the FBI and knew exactly what was proper and what was not. It apparently did not bother him when he talked privately to Loretta Lynch and he was so terrified that he changed his testimony. We did not hear him scream not to leave her alone with him! So it all boils down to who Comey wants to run the show and who he doesn't want to run the show!
Let me ask you this, then. For many years, I worked for a public agency funded by local government. That agency also received some state and federal funding. My salary came from that agency.
During most of those years, I kept a private journal that eventually filled several volumes. I included incidents which happened at work as well as entries about my personal life. I wrote about frustrating incidents as well as productive ones. I occasionally wrote critically about coworkers and supervisors, some of whom were not good at their work and who caused difficulties for others. I also wrote about others who did do their jobs effectively. I wrote about both professional successes and occasional failures and frustrations. I wrote about friends and travel and my various leisure activities that were non-work related. I wrote about my immediate and extended family members.
I wrote about the days of my life during that time.
To whom does that journal belong now? To whom do the contents of that journal belong? Is it all mine? Or is part of it the property of any of the three levels of government who contributed to the agency for which I worked a couple of decades ago, since I must have used part of my salary to purchase the empty journals and pens I used to write in them?
If I wanted to discard my journal(s), would I be free to do so without first checking with local, state, and federal government for permission? Do government officials and my former supervisors have the right to read my journals?
Or if I decided to share something I wrote way back then, or send some of it off via someone I knew and trusted who would be able to facilitate publication for whatever reason, would I be in violation of the law?
I don't think so. You can see how ridiculous this argument becomes.
Comey used the FBI's computers to store the information.Comey was on the FBI's time clock.
Party made the conclusion that just because something wasn't classified it was legal to "leak" it. 100% false.
Try to respond to what was posted.
You claimed there were numerous privacy laws broken so You name them, that is how claim work, you make it you back it up.
Actually that is how it works, if it is not classified then it is open to be repeated to others, you just do not like it because those wink, wink, nudge, nudge tactics by trump make him look bad, again.
Comey's memos weren't classified documents. If they are considered classified then all Trumps tweets are which makes our President the leaker along with his private meeting with the Russians in the Oval Office.
Then theres Bannon with his own agenda.
Kushner, Sessions in his administration and the list of other people he fired or resigned.
Oh Yea, Trump's midnight tweet of gibberish, does he have an alias twitter account?
