OK Pub Congressman: 'Comey leak ~~unlawful~~ inappropriate, but no harm done.'

[Wash Times] A key Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee said Sunday that former FBI director James Comey’s leak of his memos detailing his private meeting with the president was "inappropriate," but "releasing his memos [is] not damaging to national security."

"I’m still wondering why he prospectively wanted to get out his side of his opinion," Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma said Sunday, appearing on CBS’ "Face the Nation."

Mr. Comey testified last week that he leaked the memos through a friend to The New York Times after President Trump hinted he may have tapes of their private conversation. According to Mr. Comey, the president directed him to stop the investigation into his former national security advisor Michael Flynn and also requested his loyalty -- something Mr. Trump denies.

Mr. Lankford said he doubts that Mr. Trump has recordings of his private conversation with Mr. Comey, as the president has hinted the tapes exist.

Please consider the sleepless, vengeful, spiteful prick scenario. No need to get back to me Senator, just ponder it for a spell.

#3 “inappropriate,” but “releasing his memos [is] not damaging to national security.”

Well, it does prevent the work of the country to proceed in an orderly way...But maybe that is the goal of Dems and the Rinos. Don't want to make it appear that anything is getting done in Washington (sarc).

#4 No harm done? How about the obstruction of justice on the part of Obama's Deep-State DOJ? How about the waste of time caused to the intelligence community as well as the rest of us?

#5 Technically correct, lawyerly parsing of the situation: no 'damaging to national security'.
But what happens when the Praetorians become corrupt and lose their impartiality, Senator? What then?
