interviewed James Comey's deputies and confirmed that he had authorized the leak of classified information to the New York Times right before the 2016 election.
So putting his thumb on the scale of the 2016 election.
And despite this knowledge, despite that there was a leak of classified information, they know who leaked it.
They know who authorized it.
They know who their star witnesses would have been if you brought a prosecution.
You would have brought in James Comey's chief of staff, James Rubicki, and his former chief counsel, James Baker, because they're the ones who confirmed that this happened.
They decided not to bring any charges at all.
They let James Comey walk, and they kept this a secret.
And this decision, by the way, was made at the beginning of
or in the middle of President Trump's first term under the Justice Department, under Jeff Sessions, the U.S.
attorney in Washington, D.C., declined the soon-to-be special prosecutor.
But at that time, the Connecticut U.S.
attorney, John Durham, also declined to bring charges.
And so James Comey walked.
And everyone said, well, what's the difference?
Why should we care now?
Well, there's some statutes on classified intentional leaking of information that harms the national interest, i.e.
espionage.
Actually, it's 10 years, which means that Pam Bondi could theoretically reopen an investigation today.
