Department of Justice prosecutors reportedly are investigating the possibility that former FBI director James Comey leaked a classified Russian intelligence document to the media during the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s emails, according to a Thursday report from the New York Times.
Per the Times, the investigation is centered around two 2017 articles from the Times and the Washington Post describing the Russian document, which played a key role in Comey’s unilateral decision to announce in July 2016 that the FBI would not pursue charges against Clinton for using a private email server to conduct official business during her time as secretary of state.... Investigators are examining whether Comey’s personal lawyer, Daniel Richman, gave the Russian document to reporters. Richman played a key role in a different, confirmed leak that Comey orchestrated to hand over memos of his private encounters with President Trump in the early days of the Trump administration.
“I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter,” Comey testified to Congress in June 2017. “I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel.” In August, Horowitz found that Comey violated policy and set a “dangerous example” for the rank-and-file by retaining and leaking the memos. Horowitz referred Comey for potential prosecution over the matter, but the DOJ declined to prosecute....
The Republican rule is simple: always keep at least one investigation open at all times for Republicans to hang their hopes on. As it becomes apparent that one investigation is fizzling out, overlap that failure quietly by opening a new one.
Benghazi, emailgate, Plutonium One, the Nunes Memo report, the failed prosecution of Andrew McCabe, the IG investigation...Durham? Yeah, remember Durham? Boy, nobody talks about that guy much anymore.
But yeah, Barr is super intent on handing Trump any kind of PR win he can get, and he's going back to the old hits to do it.
They just continually end up eating their own poo in every, single one of these sham investigations.
I'm starting to get the impression that repulicans like eating their own poo.
From the NYTimes:
"The timing of the investigation could raise questions about whether it was motivated at least in part by politics. Prosecutors and F.B.I. agents typically investigate leaks of classified information around the time they appear in the news media, not years later. And the inquiry is the latest politically sensitive matter undertaken by the United States attorney’s office in Washington, which is also conducting an investigation of Mr. Comey’s former deputy, Andrew G. McCabe, that has been plagued by problems."
Gee, ya think?
DOJ - Trump via Barr's private investigative arm.
The US has now what was long feared by the Founders, an Imperial President, with no checks or balances
I am shocked. Shocked. To find Gambling going on in here.

Leave it up to Comey's buddies at the NYT to try to get ahead of the story and make it about Trump...even if they have to lie to do it.
Oh well...I bet Comey is a sad panda now that THIS part of his past is catching up with him. But keep in mind that Durham isn't finished.

Nobody's talked about Durham in over a month. And after this investigation fizzles out, expect Barr to open an investigation into Whitewater. By the end of 2020 the DOJ will be investigating Chappaquiddick.

Did he say that some of them get results?What did you say about GOP investigations?

Yes, yes...keep telling yourself that.
i can smell your fear. You're terrified of what this investigation is going to uncover. This is going to be the final apocalypse for democrats! /trumpsupporter
You prefer an Imperial House, I'm sure.
