Inspector general finds James Comey violated policy on Trump memos, but the Dept. of Justice declines prosecution. Comey responded to the report, calling out 'those who defamed me' or had suggested his handling of the memos would result in his prosecution
The Justice Department's inspector general on Thursday released a report scrutinizing fired FBI Director James Comey's handling of memos he wrote detailing his interactions with President Donald Trump, and concluding Comey violated FBI policies.
Comey has publicly said he considered the memos as personal materials, a contention that the report disputes directly. That statement stands in direct contrast to arguments made by President Trump, who has accused Comey of illegally leaking classified information to the media. DOJ IG"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." I don’t need a public apology from those who defamed me, but a quick message with a “sorry we lied about you” would be nice.
