The Lawfare article claims there had been no legal violation. I can not speak about Swedish law, though I had at one time owned a SAAB and also a Volvo.fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12546762254541549688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519488391496270073.post-78756873126846942102017-06-10T07:59:55.309-04:002017-06-10T07:59:55.309-04:00Timothy Edgar and Susan Hennessey at Lawfare are s...Timothy Edgar and Susan Hennessey at Lawfare are saying that Mr. Comey did nothing wrong in leaking his memos of his private conversations with the US President to the press. OK .... as I said .... I am not a lawyer. But I do know that the U.S. has laws that when people in national security are out of office (of which Comey was a part of it) and they want to write a book or do a speech .... it must be OK'd by the proper agencies. Is Mr. Comey exempted from these rules .... I doubt it. And their are serious legal consequences if you do not respect those guidelines<br /><br />Another part of the Lawfare article that I find amusing .... is their argument that President Trump committed a criminal offence for obstructing justice. As I said .... I am not a lawyer .... but I do know that as head of the executive, President Trump has a lot of authority here. That is why when President Obama ordered law enforcement to stop enforcing the law in deporting the Dreamers .... a perfect case of the President obstructing justice if there ever was one .... no one raised is as a legal issue because the President has this authority. The dispute with President Obama was political .... as it is now the case with President Trump, but the opponents are claiming that this is a legal issue..War News Updates Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12034101783150523332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519488391496270073.post-56571086904642677092017-06-10T07:21:44.892-04:002017-06-10T07:21:44.892-04:00If your country does not have very differect laws ...If your country does not have very differect laws than mine (In Sweden as a goverment employe you are not allowed to run around screaming about national security matters even if you have been fired some months ago). It is because you have learnt the secrete matters because of your position (and as FBI director I can guess you get to know extremly much stuff that is secret but very important for national security ). <br /><br />I think in Sweden you must keep quiet in for example 30 years even if you are no longer part of the military.<br /><br />I think and I hope you are wrong in saying that you are allowed to leak secrets that are vitalfor national security in the US just because you have left your employment.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519488391496270073.post-14807433008519567122017-06-10T07:16:19.150-04:002017-06-10T07:16:19.150-04:00ok.

Fact: Comey did NOTHINGH illegal. He did not leak any classified materials and when he tipped off his friend, he was no longer a govt employee. Thus he ought not be charged, as above, with having done something illegal.

And they would not dare to make so bad choices for their own people (mass imigrarion, the destruction of their own culture, islamisation of society) if they did not have a fall back plan. So when you have politicians like we have in the west, you must have special treatment for people like Comey to make it work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
