Did James Comey's Document Leaks Violate The FBI Employment Agreement?
2017-06-10
[The Federalist] Former FBI director James Comey's decision to leak FBI documents to a friend may have violated the FBI's employment agreement regarding unauthorized leaks.

During his testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday, former FBI director James Comey revealed that he was the source of leaked memos about his conversations with Donald Trump surrounding the Russia investigation. Comey explained that he shared the memos with his friend, a professor at Columbia University, who then shared them with the New York Times, actions that may violate the FBI’s own employee agreement.

"My judgment was I needed to get [the memos] out into the public square," Comey said. "So I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter. I didn’t do it myself for a variety of reasons, but I asked him to because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel."

#5  In this case replace "judgement" with "scheme" and this best describes Comey's intent. He is a vain man - with an excessively high opinion of himself...but, in the end produced nothing but shame for the FBI. Shame...that is his legacy.

#4  "Comey's a leaker?"

Personally, I hope he is pissing in his pants.

#3  Special prosecutor snagging the Deep State. Maybe but I am suspicious. Comey sang his praises too highly, it makes me suspicious. Is Mueller a swamp thing or an honest cop?
