Inspector general report: Former FBI Director Comey's actions with handling his memos violated US Justice Dept. and FBI policies, and his FBI Employment Agreement, but “the Department declined prosecution.”
Comey said he chose to share the existence of his memos publicly after Trump tweeted that May that Comey"better hope that there are no 'tapes' of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!"an attorney and a professor at Columbia University Law School,
Comey said during his June 2017 testimony he believed the publication of the memos"might prompt the appointment of a special counsel" to lead the Russia investigation. Special counsel Robert Mueller was appointed to take over not long after Comey's firing. In a statement following the release of Thursday's report, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and a Trump ally who has led the charge against Comey and other investigatory figures, said the filing"is a disappointing reminder that the former FBI Director put partisanship and personal ambition over patriotism and his legal obligations to the American people."
