James Comey was just referred to the Attorney General for prosecution and the AG has declined to prosecute. Your thoughts?

He was referred for prosecution because he took classified material from the FBI to his own home and stored it for at least a month in his home, an unsecured private location. That is a violation of US Code 1082.

John Durham, a US Attorney who is investigating many things from the 2016 election for prosecution continues his investigation of Comey.

I have heard that the AG will not prosecute this because he is waiting to prosecute Comey for much larger issues, which will come to light fairly soon.

James Comey will not go to jail anymore than Hillary or Trump will.

@Callmedaddy I don't believe the point is to put him in jail. The point is that presently, in the court of public opinion, Comey is smarmying his way around proclaiming his own nobility, when, in fact, he may have committed a crime.

There really IS a criminal penalty associated with the misuse of the FISA courts through perjury to obtain surveillance domestically against private citizens of the United States.

Have a feeling you watch too much Faux entertainment television. James comey will not be held accountable, neither will Trump or any other high profile politician. It's how the elite stay elite!

Partisan politics only divides our nation. This president is one of the best at playing this role. He is simultaneously the victim and perpetrator while remaining a master at diversion.

@Callmedaddy I thought this post was about the prosecution of Comey? Yet you've stated that partisan politics divides us, and you go on to insult the president.
I suppose you believe that is not divisive?

Please don't mention partisan politics if you only wish to perpetuate your sound bytes.

Cause and effect.

Trump asked Comey to scuttle an investigation into Flynn. Comey writes a memo detailing situation. Comey doesnt comply with the president's demand and is ultimately fired. Week after he is fired delivers memo to a friend who then leaks to the press which causes the special counsel to be formed. Special council report doesn't exonerate the president of criminal wrong doing for a reason. It allows for potential prosecution after he's left office.

If President Trump wasn't being shady, then Comey wouldn't have had to leak the contents of the memo.

Realize you want this thread to be only about the fact that DOJ will not prosecute Comey but Trump's stubby little fingers are all over this topic as he created the situation with partisan politics and we continue that fight amongst ourselves. Meanwhile the elite continue to maintain power while we debate among one another.
