Gregg Jarrett: Comey's revenge is a gun without powder

By Gregg Jarrett Published May 16, 2017 Fox News


His gun was cocked, he took aim and fired. But his weapon was empty.

Three months ago, the then-FBI Director met with President Trump. Following their private conversation, Comey did what he always does –he wrote a memorandum to himself memorializing the conversation. Good lawyers do that routinely.

Now, only after Comey was fired, the memo magically surfaces in an inflammatory New York Times report which alleges that Mr. Trump asked Comey to end the Michael Flynn investigation.

Those who don’t know the first thing about the law immediately began hurling words like “obstruction of justice”, “high crimes and misdemeanors” and “impeachment“. Typically, these people don’t know what they don’t know.

Here is what we do know.

Under the law, Comey is required to immediately inform the Department of Justice of any attempt to obstruct justice by any person, even the President of the United States. Failure to do so would result in criminal charges against Comey. (18 USC 4 and 28 USC 1361) He would also, upon sufficient proof, lose his license to practice law.

So, if Comey believed Trump attempted to obstruct justice, did he comply with the law by reporting it to the DOJ? If not, it calls into question whether the events occurred as the Times reported it.

Obstruction requires what’s called “specific intent” to interfere with a criminal case. If Comey concluded, however, that Trump’s language was vague, ambiguous or elliptical, then he has no duty under the law to report it because it does not rise to the level of specific intent. Thus, no crime.

There is no evidence Comey ever alerted officials at the Justice Department, as he is duty-bound to do. Surely if he had, that incriminating information would have made its way to the public either by an indictment or, more likely, an investigation that could hardly be kept confidential in the intervening months.

Comey’s memo is being treated as a “smoking gun” only because the media and Democrats, likely prompted by Comey himself, are now peddling it that way.

Comey will soon testify before Congress about this and other matters. His memo will likely be produced pursuant to a subpoena. The words and the context will matter.

But by writing a memo, Comey has put himself in a box. If he now accuses the President of obstruction, he places himself in legal jeopardy for failing to promptly and properly report it. If he says it was merely an uncomfortable conversation, he clears the president of wrongdoing and sullies his own image as a guy who attempted to smear the man who fired him.

Either way, James Comey comes out a loser. No matter. The media will hail him a hero.

After all, he gave them a good story that was better than the truth.

This is why I seriously doubt any such memo exists.

"Un-named sources" = "We made this shit up."

Thank your president.
The Stolen Valor Act of 2013 was signed by President Barack Obama on June 3, 2013. The Act makes it a federal crime to fraudulently claim to be a recipient of certain military decorations or medals in order to obtain money, property, or other tangible benefit.

" ...or other tangible benefit." So when he gets a discount or a " freebie " from the trannies that peg him out of sympathy and believing his stolen valor fat ass, that could be prosecutable. As long as it's not up to Comey to recommend charges !

Yeah, yeah. It's ALL on Comey.

Unbelievable.

You.

[nevergaveitathought]

if self-righteous comey was righteous, wouldn't he have reported some supposed illegal act to the dept of justice "contemporaneously"?

instead of holding his "contemporaneous" memos for a couple of months to use as political weaponry and released to the opposition lame media and not the doj?

maybe because trump did nothing illegal even if as reported

[WTF]

So you want law enforcement to show their cards while building a case.... that would have been pretty fucking stupid when you are trying to say so a pattern of abuse... especially if the justice department is in collusion with the person under suspicion

I have no idea. But since there does not have to be a crime for obstruction of justice who cares?

Remember, Comey said he would not mention a case until he had finished investigating it. So he has stuck to his word on this. Now that he is fired he is no longer investigating it. LOL!

He made the mistake of thinking you have enough intellect to understand sarcasm. I can explain it for you but I can not understand it for you.
