CNN states the obvious - The alleged leak to the media that underpins the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey appears to relate to the 2016 investigation concerning Hillary Clinton, rather than the separate 2016 FBI investigation of Donald Trump and Russian election meddling.
Prosecutors say in the indictment they believe Comey had authorized an anonymous leak to the press about an FBI investigation. The indictment then accuses him of lying under oath to the Senate in 2020 when he was asked whether he had authorized a leak, and he testified he hadn’t. The indictment doesn’t identify which specific leaked details or news reports form the core of the case.
It appears they may not have been able to make a case (not yet, anyway) about the Russia shit and the bullshit FISA warrants, but officials and people involved in the case tell CNN the false statement charge appears to center on alleged leaks for news articles about the FBI’s investigation of Hillary Clinton and her use of a private email server.
What was it he said about 'Hillary Clinton was "extremely careless," but "no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case,' or some such nonsense? We all knew he was bullshitting, and now his feet are in the fire, but I'll be shocked if he's convicted...
