Comey IG report exposes the hypocrisy of the ‘Russia hoax’ crowd

To hear the Trump team tell it, the media’s biggest sin was reporting on potential collusion and obstruction of justice. When special counsel Robert S. Mueller III concluded there was no criminal conspiracy and punted on obstruction, all of it was immediately rendered foolish, overzealous speculation. Reporters who circumspectly detailed key events months and years before Mueller did publicly were suddenly lumped in with pundits who had declared President Trump to be a guilty man.

But many of the same people who objected to this exercise were happy to publicly convict James B. Comey of something he’s now been cleared of. They did so using an unfounded allegation that’s now proved baseless.

A long-anticipated inspector general’s report on Thursday found Comey violated FBI policy by failing to turn over memos after Trump fired him and later leaking details of the memos to the New York Times through an intermediary. Importantly, though, the Justice Department won’t prosecute Comey.

ADVERTISING
Also importantly: the inspector general found “no evidence” that Comey leaked any information that was classified.

That’s news to plenty of Comey’s critics, including Trump, who have assured us for two years that Comey had done just that. As I noted Thursday, Trump said Comey had leaked classified information at least 10 times, but he wasn’t alone.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) cited the “leaks of classified correspondence from Mr. Comey to the press.”

Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) said “James Comey leaked classified information to the media."


“We know that Jim Comey has leaked classified information,” former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said in May 2018 on Fox Business Network — a claim he repeated on Fox News just this month.

Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett said in April 2018 that Comey “leaked these classified documents to three people who he’s hired as his counsel so he can hide behind the attorney-client privilege on these communications."

“I want to know how he can admit on camera and during testimony that he leaked classified memos from presidential meetings and he hasn’t been charged with a felony; that’s what I’d like to know,” former White House aide Sebastian Gorka told Fox Business’s Lou Dobbs that same month. Dobbs would go on to say twice that Comey appeared to have leaked classified information.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson assured viewers earlier this month that “Comey was responsible for the unauthorized disclosure of classified information.” Even after playing a clip of Comey denying that the specific information he leaked contained classified materials, Carlson doubled down. He said, “The FBI has determined that Comey’s leaked memos did in fact contain classified information that Comey failed to redact.”

It’s not clear what this was based on, and the inspector general says it’s not true.

“We found no evidence that Comey or his attorneys released any of the classified information contained in any of the Memos to members of the media,” the inspector general report says.

Even after the report came out, though, the claim won’t die. Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-Tenn.) took to Twitter and wrongly maintained it showed Comey “leaked classified info.”


The genesis of this claim is clear. In 2017, the Hill’s John Solomon reported that four of the seven memos Comey wrote about his conversations with Trump contained classified information. But even that story didn’t say whether those specific memos were leaked or whether any classified information was communicated.

The next day, though, Trump and “Fox & Friends” were connecting those dots.



“James Comey leaked CLASSIFIED INFORMATION to the media,” Trump said in a tweet. “That is so illegal!”

Instant fact checks noted they were connecting dots that the record hadn’t connected, and “Fox & Friends” corrected itself the next day. But that didn’t stop Trump and other GOP politicians and conservative pundits from making the same claim repeatedly over the next two years. Even as recently as a month ago, Solomon reported that the report “likely will conclude [Comey] leaked classified information.”

When pundits were saying Trump colluded with Russia or obstructed justice, they were often referring to publicly available reports and facts that overwhelmingly turned out to be true. They were inferring criminality based upon that information, at a time when prosecutors themselves hadn’t yet decided on that point.

In this case, Comey’s critics, including the president, were trafficking in a claim that hadn’t been reported, much less proven, to argue that he committed a crime. Now this claim has been shown to be a complete invention.

It’s pretty breathtaking in its hypocrisy.

I wish we could shelve the collusion, Comey, Trump aspect and do something about foreign meddling in our elections. That’s a real problem we should all recognize and time to do anything is running out.

 

[coloradonoles]

While I tend to somewhat agree with the overall premise...

To conflate the IG report with no subpoena power and no ability to even charge anyone with anything... and the 2 year SP investigation with the full power of the US Justice system behind it is intellectually dishonest.

You could probably sum up both like this...

Trump wasn't found guilty of much because they couldn't charge him anyways so they never really looked that hard. Plenty of smoke.

Comey got off on a technicality. Deserved being fired and shamed for.

I agree, but you say this as if you're sure we aren't doing anything. If that were true, I would be concerned. The fact is we almost certainly are doing something, but the public mustn't know what exactly that is, for very obvious reasons.

 

[dgordo]

Truth isn’t truth

 

[BGHAWK]

trump has leaked classified information and he will continue to do so as long as it benefits him and he will continue to say Comey leaked classified information and will continue to do so as long as he THINKS it will benefit him. If we've learned anything about trump the past few years it's you can be sure if he accuses someone of something illegal, he's done it or doing it himself.

I agree, but you say this as if you're sure we aren't doing anything. If that were true, I would be concerned. The fact is we almost certainly are doing something, but the public mustn't know what exactly that is, for very obvious reasons.

I feel we aren’t doing much because all the bills to address this have been stopped in the Senate and our President still pretends it never happened.

 

[gonegoIfling]

IG report is a bombshell!! Hannity has the details tonight on his show!!

 

[khael-hawk]

Our bills to address this won't address this. They're political fluff. This will and must be addressed discretely and if there has ever been anything that isn't discrete, one of those things is certainly the United States Legislature.

 

[BringIt2017]

This is bullshit and I’m tired of it. The damage these people have done will take decades to repair.

All of them need to be out. Trump, both sides of Congress and the media have created an impossible mess.

 

[khael-hawk]

IG report is a bombshell!! Hannity has the details tonight on his show!!

Hannity always has the details tonight on his show. The problem is, Hannity does way too much promoting Hannity and not enough delivering the details he claims he has tonight on his show.

 

[naturalmwa]

Our bills to address this won't address this. They're political fluff. This will and must be addressed discretely and if there has ever been anything that isn't discrete, one of those things is certainly the United States Legislature.

Ok, let’s assume that’s true. How do you imagine this will be addressed discretely when the President not only doesn’t think it’s a problem but also benefits by not addressing it? I see no avenue for your scenario to play out.

VI. Conclusion
Congress has provided the FBI with substantial powers and authorities to gather evidence as part of the FBI's criminal and counterintelligence mission. The FBI uses these authorities every day in its many investigations into allegations of drug trafficking, terrorism, fraud, organized crime, public corruption, espionage, 101 As for the other three Memos that Comey provided to his attorneys, there was no classified information in Memos 4 and 6, and Comey redacted the entire paragraph of Memo 7 that contained classified information before he sent Memo 7 to his attorneys. Compare the version of Memo 7 in Appendix A with Comey’s redacted version of Memo 7 in Appendix B. 102 Safeguarding Classified NSI PG, ¶ 3.7. 59 and a host of other threats to national security and public safety. In the process, the FBI lawfully gains access to a significant amount of sensitive information about individuals, many of whom have not been charged, may never be charged, or may not even be a subject of the investigation. For this reason, the civil liberties of every individual who may fall within the scope of the FBI's investigative authorities depend on the FBI's ability to protect sensitive information from unauthorized disclosure.
As Comey himself explained in his March 20, 2017 testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, he was unable to provide details about the nature or scope of the FBI’s ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election because "the FBI is very careful in how we handle information about our cases and about the people we are investigating…. Our ability to share details with the Congress and the American people is limited when those investigations are still open, which I hope makes sense. We need to protect people’s privacy…. We just cannot do our work well or fairly if we start talking about it while we’re doing it".
However, after his removal as FBI Director two months later, Comey provided a copy of Memo 4, which Comey had kept without authorization, to Richman with instructions to share the contents with a reporter for The New York Times. Memo 4 included information that was related to both the FBI's ongoing investigation of Flynn and, by Comey’s own account, information that he believed and alleged constituted evidence of an attempt to obstruct the ongoing Flynn investigation; later that same day, The New York Times published an article about Memo 4 entitled, “Comey Memo Says Trump Asked Him to End Flynn Investigation.” The responsibility to protect sensitive law enforcement information falls in large part to the employees of the FBI who have access to it through their daily duties. On occasion, some of these employees may disagree with decisions by prosecutors, judges, or higher ranking FBI and Department officials about the actions to take or not take in criminal and counterintelligence matters. They may even, in some situations, distrust the legitimacy of those supervisory, prosecutorial, or judicial decisions. But even when these employees believe that their most strongly-held personal convictions might be served by an unauthorized disclosure, the FBI depends on them not to disclose sensitive information. Former Director Comey failed to live up to this responsibility. By not safeguarding sensitive information obtained during the course of his FBI employment, and by using it to create public pressure for official action, Comey set a dangerous example for the over 35,000 current FBI employees—and the many thousands more former FBI employees—who similarly have access to or knowledge of non-public information. Comey said he was compelled to take these actions “if I love this country…and I love the Department of Justice, and I love the FBI.” However, were current or former FBI employees to follow the former Director's example and disclose sensitive information in service of their own strongly held personal convictions, the FBI would be unable to dispatch its law enforcement 60 duties properly, as Comey himself noted in his March 20, 2017 congressional testimony. Comey expressed a similar concern to President Trump, according to Memo 4, in discussing leaks of FBI information, telling Trump that the FBI's ability to conduct its work is compromised “if people run around telling the press what we do.” This is no doubt part of the reason why Comey’s closest advisors used the words “surprised,” “stunned,” “shocked,” and “disappointment” to describe their reactions to learning what Comey had done.
We have previously faulted Comey for acting unilaterally and inconsistent with Department policy.103 Comey’s unauthorized disclosure of sensitive law enforcement information about the Flynn investigation merits similar criticism. In a country built on the rule of law, it is of utmost importance that all FBI employees adhere to Department and FBI policies, particularly when confronted by what appear to be extraordinary circumstances or compelling personal convictions.
Comey had several other lawful options available to him to advocate for the appointment of a Special Counsel, which he told us was his goal in making the disclosure. What was not permitted was the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive investigative information, obtained during the course of FBI employment, in order to achieve a personally desired outcome.
The OIG has provided this report to the FBI and to the Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility for action they deem appropriate.

 

[naturalmwa]

Then I must not have made myself clear. It’s my position that in order for there to be discrete action, there needs to be an actor willing and able to act discretely. I don’t think we have such an actor. So I view your position as just wishful thinking.

 

[hawkedoff]

And we are viewing the difference in justice for all vs justice for some. Comey isn't charged for leaking information and having classified information at his home. Any underling would be be in jail. Hell we put people in jail recently for simply lying to an FBI agent where the entire situation was fabricated to catch someone in a lie vs actually looking for a material crime.

The FBI is rotten as is much of our justice system. It has become or maybe always has been a collection of people that are politicized and are following their own agenda.

 

[SB_SB]

Now Trump can apologize to Comey and put this behind him. I look forward to hearing Trump say he's sorry and was wrong.

And I still sleep with a binkie and a light on in the closet. I guess we're both paranoid.

We apparently aren't able to communicate clearly, because parinoria is not what I'm expressing. I can appreciate a dude with an oral fixation however.

That the POTUS broke the law. Yeah, you wingers don't give a shit if your child ruler breaks any laws, including killing kids. But you no doubt don't know anything about this.

I don’t see anyone saying he did nothing wrong but the report clearly states he didn’t leak confidential information and he didn’t break any laws but violated department policy.

He didn’t leak to the media. He did however leak to his buddy who then gave it to the media. He did so to jump start the Mueller appointment. He even testified to this.

You guys are just being dishonest if you are saying he didn’t leak it

Oh I see, so you are banking the defense of comey on the fact that he leaked the memos but it didn’t contain confidential information.

You guys are special.

He also lied to Congress. He informed them that he had given his friend memo 4. It was later found he gave him 4 other memos.

Are you cool with that lie?

Oh I see, so you are banking the defense of comey on the fact that he leaked the memos but it didn’t contain confidential information.

I’m repeating the conclusion of the report. I literally quoted it. I was under the impression that by saying confidential in ever post you know the difference. My bad. Of course he leaked info, that’s not even in question.
