DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz Reveals He Referred James Comey For Criminal Prosecution

DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform on Wednesday morning.

Horowitz revealed to lawmakers that he criminally referred former FBI Director James Comey for prosecution.

The Washington Times reported:

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz said Wednesday that he referred ex-FBI Director James Comey for criminal prosecution.

“We are required by the [Inspector General] Act to send information that we’ve identified that could plausibly be criminal to the Department of Justice,” said Mr. Horowitz, confirming what amounted to a criminal referral.

The Justice Department ultimately decided not to prosecute Mr. Comey despite Mr. Horowitz’s team concluding he improperly leaked information to the news media. The documents leaked by Mr. Comey were sensitive, but not classified.

Comey gave portions of his classified memos to his friend-turned-lawyer-turned-unpaid-FBI-official Daniel Richman to leak to the New York Times in order to prompt a special counsel investigation into President Trump.

Horowitz released a report last month on Comey’s handling of his classified memos and said he “set a dangerous example” when he leaked his Trump memos to his friends and attorneys.

Congressman Mark Meadows (R-NC) on Wednesday asked Horowitz to investigate allegations that Comey lied during a 2017 Senate hearing because there were “numerous” times where Comey’s testimony did not match up with what was written in Horowitz’s report.Horowitz agreed to look into the allegations, according to the Washington Times.

Congressman Jody Hice (R-GA) called Horowitz’s revelation that he criminally referred Comey for prosecution “monumental.”

So now it seems anyone in Govt can leak sensitive info about even the president, if he doesn’t like him, and it’s a never-mind. What happened to the principle of deterrence?

Mr. Comey is part of the neo-McCarthyist era.

the McCarthy hearings only lasted a measly 36 days. CNN and MS-NBC have now been deceiving the public for nearly 3 years. if you include Kavanuagh and the Clarence Thomas lynchings of the 90s, that’s 30 years.

Big question ? why was he not prosecuted ? All the crooks would have been caught in the web.

Crooks and pro-jihadi criminals all around.

CNN and MSM canonises this pro-jihadi/pro-illegal immigration RINO while Egyptian media expose him for being Leading supporter of Muslim Brotherhood in America and Middle east https://tinyurl.com/y9hk3dpk

Its absurd and farcical how MSM Lies and brainwashes American citizens

Bolchevik communist so called revolution = a true “astro-turf” origins via the bankster Globalist’s plan for an eventual borderless OWG called “their” – NWO.
You see “they” had to irradicate Christianity + Judeo-Christian Scriptural values in Western society to dumb down culture + society to where they’d aquiece quietly.
Euro-peons are now aalmost lost and going down for the 3rd time….you see WWI – then WWII were orchestrated to continue the communist encroachment = then the UN+EU were installed by “them” – along with the continued and upgraded worldwide monetary scam via “The FED’s” control of the U.S. dollar.
It gets denser here on up thru history…

Off topic – COULD SOMEONE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS?

Facebook Created Over 100 Pro-ISIS Pages, Meantime Censoring Conservatives
By Jared Harris
Published September 18, 2019 at 2:02 pm

While still facing criticism over the censorship of conservatives, Facebook was walloped by a report this month that documented hundreds of pro-terrorist pages created by the social media giant itself.

(You read that right. FACEBOOK Is creating PRO ISIS PAGES ON FACEBOOK!)

It can’t be stressed enough that these are not pages created by individuals that happened to slip past Facebook’s algorithm, but rather pages auto-generated by the social media platform itself.

“Horowitz revealed to lawmakers that he criminally referred former FBI Director James Comey for prosecution.” Big deal, means nothing. Has Comey been charged? No. Will he be charged? Probably not. Why? Because he’s protected, that’s why. It’s all a big f**king charade and the joke, for now, is on the American people.

Comey is a two faced rat…….lower than a snake in a wagon rut, as we say in Texas. I don’t think he should be in jail, I think he should be stood up in front of a firing squad.

I have often wondered, and it is a legitimate question to ask , if Comey, McCabe, Strzok, and these other politically FBI jackwads constantly cited in news reports are even certified peace officers in the first place.

Can you imagine anyone of such suspicious character being authorized to routinely carry a loaded gun?

I have to agree. These are very politically sensitive cases. They involve high political officials. Comey was a high official in the DOJ. Barr is high official in the DOJ. It looks like this is a made to order case for a special counsel, someone outside the DOJ, with no conflict of interest, to make the decision about prosecution.

Comey perjured himself and leaked sensitive but not classified information… and participated in an attempted coup. And that’s not enough to get prosecuted? Others have had the book thrown at them just for perjury. Why not Comey?

A few days ago you mentioned a forum with private messaging.
Could you provide a link on that?
TIA.

LOL! Hi Felix… I’m around… 🙂

It’s been a long time since I’ve sent private messages in these forums… I think YouTube had the ability to send private messages but that is gone now… I’m pretty sure I’ve used that in the past. Perhaps there were problems with people harassing others. I was under the impression that Discuss might have had that but I never actually tried to do that so I can’t be certain other than to say that it certainly isn’t there now. It’s possible that I’m thinking of something that predates Discuss but if that’s the case, I can’t remember what that was but whatever it was, I’ve used that also in the past.

If you are still trying to connect with somebody then I’d recommend creating an email address you don’t actually care about and then quickly exchanging contact info through that then deleting that email thread and disabling the account when you are done exchanging contact info so that it can’t be hacked.

Having said that, many YouTube personalities put their email addresses out there. The annoying thing is having trolls spam you as well as the possibility of having the account hacked. But I’d think the spammers probably wouldn’t bother because that doesn’t give them the responses they desire… it’s not a public forum for their trolling to be seen. The only other ones who would essentially attack an email are those who oppose your viewpoint and are trying to bury your email account. Hence I suggest making a temporary dummy email address that you don’t actually care about.

Thanks for getting back to me. A junk email was my first thought but I liked your idea of using private messaging in a forum better. I found one that might allow messaging but you have to sign up to make sure of it and I am not so eager to use that forum for that.

I hope all is going well with you. You’d sure have my vote! I sincerely hope you get that vanilla Obama out. We understand what it is like to have Trudeau heading your country. We hung our head in shame during his reign of U.S. hatred. We are pulling for you.

Thank you again!

Does anyone really believe that Comey, Mueller, McCabe, Ohr and the rest of the gang in the FBI and DOJ suddenly became rogues? If you do then I have a bridge to sell you. These men and women possess the hubris to bring down a president, the gall to fabricate evidence against Gen. Flynn an others. They knew they would be protected and rewarded for their actions. They have no fear of you or me or even the President himself. These men reflect the culture of the FBI and the DOJ which is to serve the deep state and the elites, to bring the full power of the federal government to crushing any and all opposition. These men have framed tens of thousands of Americans many of whom, languish in the federal prison gulag, many with their reputations destroyed and in shambles. These are purely evil people serving an institution that is wholly corrupt and must be destroyed as it is incapable of being reformed. W have allowed the Marxists and the Stalinists to take control of our most important institutions and they are using them to loot, destroy our people and culture.

It would be illegal to INDICT an INBRED Operative of The DEMOCRAT-COMMUNIST-ISLAMIC-NAZI TERRORIST ORGANIZATION, namely Little Jimmy Comey. What’s wrong with you people, you should know that.

The decision not to prosecute reflects badly on Bill Barr. They say he has bigger fish to fry, including Comey himself, but unless he does a lot of people will be seriously wondering about whether the law is being applied fairly.

Why are you ignoring the last sentence of the WT article you are quoting: “The documents leaked by Mr. Comey were sensitive, but NOT classified.” Inconvenient to the axe you want to grind?
