James Comey Walks Free, For Now

Assuming William Barr and U.S. Attorney John Durham really are performing an investigation into the origins of Spygate - which is far from a safe assumption at this point - I can even understand the rationale behind merely humiliating Comey with yesterday's Inspector General report documenting his serial leaking of FBI documents.

The Department of Justice theoretically does not possess unlimited resources to pursue every case that comes its way - unless your name is Roger Stone or Paul Manafort, of course - so better to conserve those resources for prosecuting Comey's role in the failed coup d'etat that was mounted within the FBI and other agencies against President Donald Trump throughout 2016 and 2017.

Still, with every tweet he issues and every TV appearance he makes, Comey personifies the dual system of justice that continues to exist in our country.

The public record is damning on Comey's role in all of that - he lied repeatedly to the FISA court about the veracity of the Steele Dossiere and its contents.

Horowitz's April 2018 report targeting Andrew McCabe contained criminal referrals, and the only thing DOJ did to McCabe was fire him.

Today, McCabe is not only a free man, he is a highly-paid "Contributor" to CNN. He and Comey probably popped the cork on a bottle of Dom last night to celebrate Comey's continuing liberty.

Rumors have been flying around this week that Barr and Durham are indeed about to finally, at long last indict McCabe for his various well-documented crimes.
