Something doesn’t smell right – I smell rotten eggs. Why didn’t Comey have to get permission and approval of his book before it was published? And, the fact that he used classified data?

“It is the nature of our profession.” This is to remind Comey of the FBI’s key element of their ethos: “I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions.”

Is James Comey Being Protected by DOJ & FBI?

Many are asking the question of why former FBI Director James Comey has not faced any criminal charges for his actions that led up to his firing and after he was fired by President Donald Trump. Instead, of being in jail or facing prosecution, Comey is making the national circuit promoting his new book that supposedly tells the truth about what happened between him and Trump.

Comey tries to come across as the victim of unjust termination and criticism by Trump while ignoring the fact that it has been proven that he lied multiple times to different people and agencies. It was also revealed that he intentionally leaked sensitive information related to conversations he had with Trump to the media, for the express purpose of prompting the appointment of a special counsel to investigate the alleged collusion between Donald Trump, the Trump campaign and Russia in relation to the 2016 presidential election.

It seems that the mainstream media isn’t the only one on Comey’s side. It appears that there are still anti-Trump and pro-Democrat factions within the FBI that may be protecting Comey and trying to prevent him from being prosecuted for what appears to be criminal acts while serving as the Director of the FBI.

Judicial Watch has been filing a number of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits against the FBI, seeking information related to Comey’s actions and his new book. Here are some of those lawsuits:

In June 2017,Judicial Watch filed a FOIA lawsuit seeking the memorandum written by former Director James Comey memorializing his meeting and conversation with President Trump regarding the FBI’s investigation of potential Russian interference in the 2016 United States presidential election (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:17-cv-01189)).

In July 2017, Judicial Watch filed a FOIA lawsuit seeking metadata of the “Comey memos” and related records-management information (Judicial Watch, Inc., v. U.S. Department of Justice(No. 17-cv-01520));

In August 2017, Judicial Watch filed a FOIA lawsuit seeking the handling, storage, protection, dissemination, and/or return of classified information signed by Comey (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice(No. 1:17-cv-01624)).

In September 2017, Judicial Watch filed a FOIA lawsuit behalf of the Daily Caller News Foundation against the U.S. Department of Justice seeking memoranda allegedly written by former FBI Director James Comey regarding his discussions with President Donald Trump and Trump’s aides (Daily Caller News Foundation v. U.S. Department Justice(No. 1:17-cv-01830)).

In January 2018,S. District Judge James E. Boasberg orderedthe FBI to turn over the “Comey memos” for in camera review by the court. In doing so, the court rejected arguments by the Sessions Justice Department to dismiss the lawsuits seeking the Comey information. On February 2, Boasberg ruled that the “Comey memos” would not be made public. Judicial Watch and the Daily Caller News Foundation are appealing the ruling.

Additionally, Judicial Watch filed a FOIA lawsuit on March 16, 2018, seeking records pertaining to Comey’s new book, but after the Department of Justice failed to provide those records on time, Judicial Watch has filed a lawsuit against the DOJ and FBI for:
“All records of communications between the FBI and former FBI director James Comey relating to an upcoming book to be authored by Mr. Comey and published.”

“All records, including but not limited to forms completed by former FBI director James Comey, relating to the requirement for prepublication review by the FBI of any book to be authored by Comey with the intent to be published or otherwise publicly available.”
Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch stated:

“James Comey illegally took and then leaked material from his FBI memos in order to get a Special Counsel appointed to target President Trump. And so now Judicial Watch is asking questions about whether James Comey is getting special treatment from the FBI to use these ill-gotten FBI documents in his book.”

Judicial Watch filed a previous FOIA lawsuit concerning Comey’s book. The first one was filed in August 2017 but the DOJ has yet to comply with that lawsuit.

One has to wonder why the DOJ and FBI have repeatedly failed to comply with the FOIA requests made by Judicial Watch. Is it because there are still anti-Trump and pro-Democrat staff still working in these government agencies who are trying to do everything possible to protect Comey from any possible prosecution?

AG Sessions and FBI Director Wray are colluding with Comey.
