James Comey's Criminality: An Investigation into FBI Memo Mishandling

Inspector General's Findings on Comey's Conduct

• 🔍 The DOJ Inspector General's report excruciates James Comey for mishandling FBI files related to President Trump, contradicting Comey's claims of exoneration.
• 📄 Comey is accused of taking FBI files, including classified information, to his home, lying about their possession, and leaking them to the New York Times to trigger the Robert Mueller investigation.
• ⚠️ The OIG concluded that Comey violated FBI policies by providing an unclassified memo to a friend with instructions to share it with a reporter, and by retaining four memos in his home safe without authorization.
• ⚖️ Despite findings warranting criminal prosecution referral to the Justice Department, Attorney General Barr's office declined to prosecute Comey for his actions.

The "Coup" Against Trump and Comey's Role

• 🎯 The report is seen as confirming a "coup" against Trump, with Comey acting as the "chief spy" in an operation to create a record that could be used to destroy him.
• 🤝 Comey's first one-on-one meeting with President-elect Trump on January 6, 2017, involved confronting him with the salacious and unverified dossier, which the FBI knew was unreliable.
• 🕵️‍♂️ Witnesses within the FBI reportedly discussed concerns that the one-on-one briefing could be perceived as an attempt to hold information over Trump, but they proceeded with the meeting, which is described as an "ambush interview."
• 📄 Comey began writing the first memo immediately after the meeting in his FBI vehicle, capturing details he intended to share with FBI executive managers.

Justice Department's Decision and Judicial Watch's Role

• 🚫 The Justice Department's decision to decline prosecution of Comey is described as "beyond belief" and "outrageous," especially in contrast to the lengthy investigation into Andrew McCabe.
• 🏛️ The speaker criticizes the Justice Department's handling of these cases, suggesting a pattern of protecting "connected" individuals and failing to address major corruption issues.
• 📢 Judicial Watch is highlighted for its role in uncovering documents related to Comey's misconduct, the FISA warrant, and the FBI's coordination with Clinton's lawyers, often through litigation rather than voluntary disclosure.
• 🚨 The speaker expresses frustration that Judicial Watch is often the sole entity pursuing these investigations, emphasizing the need for accountability within government agencies.
