Comey could face espionage charge (attorney, FBI, Clinton, crime)

[stburr91]

Comey could face espionage charge for leaking classified information. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. LoL

It too early to know if he will face charges, but I wouldn't want to be Comey right about now.



Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley has sent a letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.


After a review of the seven memoranda created by former Director Comey, it is now clear that four are marked classified at various levels of sensitivity. Former Director Comey reportedly provided copies of four memos to Columbia Law School Professor Daniel Richman. If true, that would mean at least one disclosed memo contained information now-marked classified.

My staff has since reviewed these memoranda in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) at the FBI, and I reviewed them in a SCIF at the Office of Senate Security. The FBI insisted that these reviews take place in a SCIF because the majority of the memos are classified. Of the seven memos, four are marked classified at the “SECRET” or “CONFIDENTIAL” levels. Only three did not contain classified information.

I don't know (or care), but Confidential and Secret documents are not very damaging to the national interest. And most of these documents are over-classified.

They are currently marked that way, however they probably were not at the time. Are we planning on going back and retroactively making things a crime?

The usual nonsense.

Why the hate for Comey? Oh right, he didn't drop the investigation on a man who turned out to be guilty when your President asked him to.

My thoughts too. They also believe he let Clinton off the hook with her emails.

This isn't an unnamed source making an unfounded claim in the NYT.

This is the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman going to the DOJ and asking questions that could lead to Comey being charged for violating the espionage act.
