The Republicans Tweety surrogates and Tweety himself claim that former FBI Director Comey sharing his work notes, that it is even considered a "leak," is awesomely stupid. Really, really, really insanely stupid.
Sharing his work notes, Comey did not commit a crime.
Sharing his work notes, Comey did not leak anything.
I worked in DoD contracting for 44 years and continue to be an expert in intellectual property and what a Government worker can and cannot share with the public. Rather than go into the obvious stupidity of the claim Comey "leaked" anything, et me ask the reader a VERY simple questions. Have any of our Presidents written a book about their work? How about any politician writing books about their Government jobs. THEY DISCLOSED EVERYTHING and it was LEGAL!
Is that good enough for you?
Oh, by the way, Comey is going to do a LOT MORE SHARING and SOON, he is writing a book now. lol

"James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director who was fired in May by President Trump, is writing a book about his experience in public service, including his tumultuous and brief tenure in the Trump administration."
"Fired FBI Director James Comey Is Writing a Book"

"Infamous memo-writer (and former FBI director) James Comey is working on a book about his experience as a public servant. Not surprisingly, the New York Times reports that the book will cover Comey’s doomed tenure in the Trump administration and interactions with the president, and that the upcoming book deal is sure to make the fired FBI director a sizable amount of money. The agents now working for Comey are of the literary kind, and they’ve recently been making the rounds at New York publishers as the book is expected to go up for auction among the major houses next week."
I am not sure why New York Mag wants to be cutesy, maybe sarcastic, like they support Tweety, [thye do . . . ] in their story, but who cares? I don't care.
Wow! I can't wait to see the book!
Maybe NY Mag is upset with Comey for influencing the 2016 election?
"Apparently, despite speculation that he would be able to secure an eight-figure book advance, Comey only recently warmed to the idea of writing a book after realizing he had something more to say about the surely voluminous amount of notes he’s taken throughout his career. Fox and Friends’ producers can rest easy, also, since the book will be fully and officially vetted in advance to make sure no classified information is disclosed.
It remains unclear, however, if Comey will do the right thing and make sure advance copies of his book don’t go out until 11 days before the next presidential election."
Wow! I can't wait to see the book!
These guys do not like Comey. How d they know, before the book is written, that there is ANT salacious material to write about? Do they see salacious stuff going on to write about now? Yes, I think they do.
Maybe these guys recognize Comey is upset with Tweety because he helped Tweety get elected by announcing the true "nothing burger" email thing 11 days before the election. Tweety fired Comey for the exact thing he praised him for during the 2016 campaign. Comey showed such courage, right? Then, as the Russia investigation proceeded without a pause, Tweety got nervous and fired Comey, and said it was because he messed up the 2016 election with his handling of the Hillary email investigation "NOTHING BURGER."
"… And James Comey is Writing a Book"

"The move underscores Comey’s talent for headlines.
In a season of open congressional hearings, his stole the show when he said it made him “mildly nauseous” that his conduct during the 2016 presidential campaign regarding the Hillary Clinton email investigation might have led to Trump’s election. His tough treatment of Trump and alleged refusal to drop his investigation into Russian collusion ultimately led to his dismissal from the FBI’s top job.
Now, armed with untold amounts of salacious information, Comey seems increasingly gearing up to be one of the president’s most ferocious and dangerous outside critics."
