re: Former FBI Director James Comey indicted

quote:

This involves leaks that were made by or authorized by Comey. Mcabe was brought before Congress and was accused of leaking. He was also asked if Comey authorized those leaks. A special prosecuter could not prove that McCabe or Comey leaked, and at the time, said that Comey did not authorize the leaking. Later, when pressed again, he said that Comey did authorize the leaking, but the special prosecuter did not charge Comey because he found McCabe unbeleivable.

I just read all the comments and celebration over taking down Comey and I assumed this indictment was related to bogus RussiaGate. After reading the indictment, it now seems more likely that they are referring to authorizing leaks about Hillary Clinton (Person 1) by Andrew McCabe (Person 3).

If it were RussiaGate, who would be Person 1 and Person 3?

Count 1 of the indictment charges:
1. On or about September 30, 2020, in the Eastern District of Virginia, the defendant, JAMES
B. COMEY JR., did willfully and knowingly make a materially false, Fictitious, and
fraudulent statement in a matter within the jurisdiction of the legislative branch of the
Government of the United Stales, by falsely stating to a U.S. Senator during a Senate
Judiciaiy Committee hearing that he, JAMES B. COMEY JR., had not “authorized
someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports" regarding an FBI
investigation concerning PERSON 1.
2. That statement was false, because, as JAMES B. COMEY JR. then and there knew, he in
fact had authorized PERSON 3 to serve as an anonymous source in news reports regarding
an FBI investigation coneerning PERSON 1.
3. All in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2).

It looks like the first count was non-billed. There are only two counts.

I Just keep seeing people on this board claim that they won’t get a conviction.

They won't, Fox news brought on their legal expert last night and he point blank said that the case should be thrown out.

I didn't see this before I posted the 3 counts.

That Hugh Hewitt guy was saying it will be hard to prove INTENT. This is nuts.

Another Risk for comets is - if convicted on top of other stuff - loses law license

Count 1 on that copy was refused by the grand jury.
