Disgraced Ex-FBI Boss James Comey’s Problems May Just Be Beginning

James Comey may soon find out if orange prison jumpsuits come in XXX-Tall…

Rep. Devin Nunes had some bad news for the disgraced former FBI director who is currently gloating that he has beat the rap for leaking classified information.

Following reports that Comey would not be prosecuted per recommendation from the DOJ Inspector General, Nunes slammed the door on the idea that the man who ran a “covert” operation against President Trump would not be held accountable.

Speaking with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, the California Republican who serves as ranking member of the House Intel Committee predicted a bleak future for Mr. Comey.

According to Rep. Nunes, Comey’s jubilation is going to be short-lived because of the multiple criminal referrals made against the man who Trump affectionately referred to as “slimeball” in the SpyGate operation are now in the hands of U.S. Attorney John Durham.

And as Nunes notes, unlike IG Michael Horowitz, Durham enjoys the power of a prosecutor who could put the squeeze on Comey’s underlings and then start working his way up.

Via the transcript:

NUNES: Unlike what you saw with the Mueller dossier team, which now we know Mueller wasn’t even in-charge of that investigation. So, I don’t believe you will see that. But I do believe that James Comey will be held accountable.

And there’s one other point that is important to make. The IG although has important powers, the IG does not have the power to investigate or compel people to be interviewed that don’t work with the Department of Justice, or in the government.

So, I’ve always been hesitant to — although, I appreciate what the IG is doing — they are limited, where John Durham is not limited, the U.S. Attorney looking at this.

So, there are a lot more people that need to be interviewed, even in our investigation. You know, we would love to have a law enforcement arm that we could go out and conduct more interviews.

But the F.B.I. and the U.S. Attorney in Connecticut, they have — they’re building their team, they have a lot of people out, there will be a lot of people that are interviewed, because what we want to make sure is, is that that it’s not just James Comey that gets looked at, but this whole fiasco that’s occurred.

CARLSON: That’s right.

NUNES: You know, you just touched on a little bit in your opening. Don’t forget the worst that’s done, the leaking is really bad, and it was wrong. And it was done to incite a Special Counsel and poisoned millions of Americans.

But the worst thing I would argue in all of this is that the spying on the political campaign began in the first place long before they told Congress that it began.

This is really about the abuse of the nation’s anti-terrorist surveillance apparatus to spy on political opponents including Trump and those close to him and to use that information to frame him.

A recent article that was published at the Federalist but has since been disappeared down the memory hole except for a cached version states:

As I previously reported, even before the Russia collusion hoax, Comey signed his name on sweeping surveillance violations. Pursuing Comey on the memo-leaking offense would be like charging Comey for jaywalking after he crossed the street to fire a close-range kill shot at our Constitution.

There have been increasingly serious scandals regarding U.S. intelligence agencies spying on Americans. In 2013, for example, the National Security Agency found its employees had used the most powerful spying tools to monitor their spouses and lovers.

In 2014, The New York Times reported that the Central Intelligence Agency had hacked emails of Senate investigators. This is an extremely serious assault on Congress’s oversight powers under Article I of the Constitution, and a violation of the CIA’s charter. Yet the Department of Justice declined to prosecute, and the CIA got away with it.

The NSA has compiled a database of all the data. What kind of data? All of it: Facebook posts, emails, voicemails, facial recognition, communication on dating apps, naughty pictures you send your wife, and your college transcript. As our devices increasingly listen and watch their owners, the NSA has found ways to access images and sounds captured by your computer, phone, and iPads.

Comey once confided in a reporter that he keeps tape over his laptop camera. Now, why would he do that, as the court charged with ensuring that the government does not abuse this database required he and former CIA director John Brennan to certify the FBI did not use this database to spy on Americans without a warrant?

This may be why. Since 2017, we’ve known that Comey lied to this court to cover for FBI abuse of the database. He signed a false affidavit certifying that the FBI did not query the database on Americans without a warrant.

Comey presided over an assembly line of constitutional violations. As I noted, “The FISC court did not provide numbers but it’s reasonable to infer that the term ‘widespread’ in reference to ongoing violations by multiple officials could mean thousands of felonies under the cover of the Comey and Brennan affidavits that apparently remain uncorrected, in spite of having been found false by a published court opinion.

Now go back to AG Barr’s Senate testimony back in May.

If Nunes is correct, then Comey isn’t going to be going down alone and the investigation into spying by former Obama regime intel bosses could end up with him behind bars.
