Comey didn't read anybody's mind. He explained why the case wasn't prosecutable.
"In looking back at our investigations into mishandling or removal of classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of: clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information; or vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of intentional misconduct; or indications of disloyalty to the United States; or efforts to obstruct justice. We do not see those things here."
Flynn's case followed existing precedent.
- lsh123 5y agoI can copy/paste the Comey’s quote to apply it to the case of the NSA employee from the article. BTW, in Clinton’s case there is a clear effort to go around FOIA so you can call it obstruction of public justice if you want.
- lern_too_spel 5y agoThe indictment says you can't. "[The accused] willfully transmitted that information to another person who was not entitled to receive it." Comey found there was no clear effort to go around FOIA either and that Clinton complied with all requests to the best of her ability. I don't know why you're making stuff up when all of this is written in plain English that any of us can read.
