There is Now Enough Evidence to Indict Comey or Snowden Should be Pardoned

Comey is as guilty as Hillary for treating government work product including top secret information as personal. Comey, just like Hillary, claimed the memos were all ‘personal’ that he made talking to Trump because he did not trust him (contrary to his trust for Clintons). There is no such ‘personal’ qualification and he leaked those memos to the New York Times which he admitted openly in Congress. But those memos contained classified information and that was a CRIME for him to leak them no less pretend they were he ‘personal’ property. Every FBI agent signed a confidentiality agreement as do traders working for a bank. The agreement signed by Comey states plainly: ‘all information acquired by me in connection with my official duties with the FBI and all official material to which I have access remain the property of the United States of America.’ This means (1) he stole government documents obstructing any investigation of him, and (2) he then leaked classified information to the New York Times. Let’s see; they say Snowden should be indicted for the same thing. Curious!
This is why Comey never recorded Hillary’s ‘interview’ before the FBI to ensure she could never be charged as Martha Stuart was for ‘lying to the FBI’ in such an interview and sent to prison. Comey wrote private memos when talking to Trump, but not Hillary, and then leaked classified information to the New York Times releasing his memos. Legally, he should be prosecuted as they prosecuted Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby who was Dick Cheney’s chief of staff for leaking information.
