The DOJ has officially released the Inspector General Report on former FBI Director James Comey.
I will continue to update this article with everything from the report:

James Comey is seemingly taking a victory lap over the report.
And to all those who’ve spent two years talking about me “going to jail†or being a “liar and a leakerâ€â€”ask yourselves why you still trust people who gave you bad info for so long, including the president.
— James Comey (@Comey) August 29, 2019
However, Comey admitted to leaking so I’m not sure why he claims this is a false claim.
Analysis! Peter Strzok used James Comey leak to interview Trump associates
Emails confirm Palmieri Report analysis that Comey colluded with CNN to allow reporting of Dossier
BREAKING: DOJ tells Congress that parts of the ‘Comey memo’ leaked to the media were classified.
Exclusive: Comey likely leaker behind WaPo Carter Page Story
The Justice Department’s inspector general says former FBI Director James Comey violated FBI policies in his handling of memos documenting private conversations with President Trump. The department earlier decided not to prosecute Comey. https://t.co/RC4AIFQYjk

Inspector General: Justice Department declined to prosecute Comey. For our part: ‘We conclude that Comey’s retention, handling, and dissemination of certain Memos violated Department and FBI policies, and his FBI Employment Agreement.’ https://t.co/CC4y3Srj8B

DOJ IG: “Comey set a dangerous example for the over 35,000 current FBI employees—and the many thousands more former FBI employees—who similarly have access to or knowledge of non-public information” https://t.co/MiGXXDb0VL

Comey leaked, DOJ gives him a pass anyway https://t.co/Y7ccwVZyDU

“…Comey had several other lawful options available to him to advocate for the appointment of a Special Counsel, which he told us was his goal in making the disclosure. What was not permitted was the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive investigative information…” https://t.co/Elaa2CUpK5

DOJ IG blasts James Comey:
“Comey’s characterization of the Memos as personal records finds no support in the law & is wholly incompatible with the plain language of the statutes, regulations, & policies defining Federal records, & the terms of Comey’s FBI Employment Agreement.” pic.twitter.com/sW0FwshFar

Page 54 of the DOJ IG report:
“Comey Violated Department and FBI Policies Pertaining to the Retention, Handling, and Dissemination of FBI Records and Information”https://t.co/KCAAalsTxL pic.twitter.com/uW4QY213Jr

DOJ IG: it’s “particularly concerning that Comey did not tell anyone from the FBI that he had retained copies of the Memos in his personal safe at home, even when his [COS], the FBI’s [ADD], & 3 SSAs came to Comey’s house on May 12, 2017, to inventory & remove all FBI property.” pic.twitter.com/wvCCGZJtuR

Yet again, rogue FBI Director James Comey was found to believe the rules just didn’t apply to him.
DOJ IG: “However, Comey’s own, personal conception of what was necessary was not an appropriate basis for ignoring the policies and agreements governing the use of FBI records” pic.twitter.com/s7Ezz3Kvrg
— Matt Wolking (Text TRUMP to 88022) (@MattWolking) August 29, 2019
Comey’s actions were “in clear violation of [FBI policy and his] Employment Agreement. As a result, Comey not only disclosed sensitive law enforcement info to his personal counsel but also a small amount of info…the FBI subsequently determined was classified” pic.twitter.com/Z6YBZ2hSpf
— Matt Wolking (Text TRUMP to 88022) (@MattWolking) August 29, 2019
DOJ IG report: “even when [FBI] employees believe that
their most strongly-held personal convictions might be served by an unauthorized disclosure, the FBI depends on them not to disclose sensitive information. Former Director @Comey failed to live up to this responsibility.” pic.twitter.com/867kXv11W0— Matt Wolking (Text TRUMP to 88022) (@MattWolking) August 29, 2019
DOJ IG concludes that James Comey’s habit of “acting unilaterally” and violating FBI policies is contrary to “the rule of law.”
Comey ignored the “lawful options available to him” and once again chose to violate established norms and procedures. pic.twitter.com/1RcTxkU5zo

A curious request given the report’s bottom line was in fact this: “We conclude that Comey’s retention, handling, and dissemination of certain Memos violated Department and FBI policies, and his FBI Employment Agreement.” https://t.co/TOP5btZxNE

Breaking News: A Justice Department watchdog report sharply criticizes the ex-FBI director James Comey for leaking memos about his interactions with President Trump https://t.co/E1JnKsZhST
— The New York Times (@nytimes) August 29, 2019
BREAKING: Comey was leaking on Trump LONG BEFORE he was fired in May 2017:
Jan ’17: Comey shows Chuck Rosenberg memo of dinner w POTUS on laptop at home, even tho he “had no official need to know”
Jan/Feb ’17: Comey tells pal Richman/NYT
Mar ’17: Comey tells pal Wittes/Lawfare

New OIG Horowitz report on James Comey that finds he leaked “sensitive” (classified) government records & violated DOJ rules confirms, at a minimum, that James Comey is a hyper-political snake-in-the-grass who had no business directing the nation’s premiere law enforcement agency

Inspector General Report: James Comey violated FBI policies with memos on Trump discussions: “Comey set a dangerous example for the over 35,000 current FBI employees.” Read the report here. So where are the indictments? https://t.co/YocXk3cfRU pic.twitter.com/2V6XzlMN6n

This is the 2nd time IG Horowitz has let his old pal Comey slide. No criminal referral despite leaking classified information & dissembling to agents. Horowitz also found not credible Comey’s explanation for sitting on discovery of Hillary emails on Weiner laptop for full month
— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) August 29, 2019
Now we know why Comey didn’t want to prosecute Clinton—he didn’t see a problem mishandling sensitive information. After clearing her, he did it too!
Comey, like Clinton, thinks he’s above the law.
— Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) August 29, 2019
If you doubt a pattern of IG Horowitz pulling punches for his old pal Comey,reread section of his earlier report on Clinton emails that deals w Comey’s lack of candor in explaining why he delayed over a month any action on the emails found on the Weiner laptop. It’s clear he LIED
— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) August 29, 2019
IG Horowitz also had accepted his old pal Comey’s explanation that he was in the dark about the discovery of the Weiner laptop emails for a full month even tho McCabe phoned Comey at home right after NY had told McCabe about it. Why does IG keep turning blind eye to Comey lies?
