DoJ Begins Second Probe Into Comey's History Of Leaking Classified Intel

[NYT via Zero] The New York Times just published a bombshell report that's faintly reminiscent of the scoops that the Liberal paper of record used to publish during the spring and summer of 2017, when the Mueller probe was in its infancy.

Except this time, instead of the the leak focusing on alleged wrongdoing by President Trump and his inner circle, the NYT is focusing on former FBI Director James Comey, who has increasingly been taken to task by the mainstream press in recent months for his botched handling of both the Clinton investigation and the origins of the probe in Russian interference (remember that?).

This leak, which involves a classified information about Russian intelligence, allegedly surfaced in the Washington Post and NYT some time during 2017.

A report published in September by the DoJ's inspector general found that the fired FBI Director James Comey leaked sensitive law enforcement material in the Trump-Russia investigation. Doing so set a "dangerous example" for the bureau's other employees, Inspector General Michael Horowitz wrote. Comey's former No. 2 man, Andrew McCabe, was also fired for leaking, and is also under investigation.

How utterly delightful, though one can see why the Deep State might become vicious in its disappointment..

Whatever this document was (the NYT claims it was also mentioned in a book by James Stewart published last fall), it apparently played a key role in Comey's decision to cut the DoJ out of his announcement that the FBI wouldn't be pursuing charges against Hillary Clinton in the email scandal. Furthermore, it was allegedly obtained by Dutch Intelligence operatives, before being handed over to the US. The NYT says the document was "one of the key factors" that drove Comey's decision to give Hillary a pass.

I thought everyone knew the use of Foreign Intelligence data in a US criminal investigation was prohibited.
