Gregg Jarrett is a lawyer who is also a reporter for FOX News. He recently wrote an op-ed about the now famous “Comey Memo” that the left is so excited about.
Jarrett claims there’s nothing to it.
He writes:
Comey’s revenge is a gun without powder
James Comey was lying in wait.
His gun was cocked, he took aim and fired. But his weapon was empty.
Three months ago, the then-FBI Director met with President Trump. Following their private conversation, Comey did what he always does –he wrote a memorandum to himself memorializing the conversation. Good lawyers do that routinely.
Now, only after Comey was fired, the memo magically surfaces in an inflammatory New York Times report which alleges that Mr. Trump asked Comey to end the Michael Flynn investigation.
Those who don’t know the first thing about the law immediately began hurling words like “obstruction of justice”, “high crimes and misdemeanors” and “impeachment“. Typically, these people don’t know what they don’t know.
Here is what we do know.
Under the law, Comey is required to immediately inform the Department of Justice of any attempt to obstruct justice by any person, even the President of the United States. Failure to do so would result in criminal charges against Comey. (18 USC 4 and 28 USC 1361) He would also, upon sufficient proof, lose his license to practice law.
Jarrett discussed his column with Tucker Carlson last night:
Another point that came up recently takes more wind out of the left’s sails:
@PoliticalShort But now they have convicted @POTUS w/o proof or intent. #Comey claimed opposite in May 2017 testimony. pic.twitter.com/V9T0lzgvUv
