Trumpies are in flux, hampered by their inability to understand topics that aren’t chanted, screamed or magic-markered onto a box lid…

It’s all posturing. It works for the base, it worked when they were intimidating some little plumbing contractor that they stiffed, or bullied a dissatisfied tenant. Here it won’t work, but that won’t stop them going through the motions.
Comey, I suspect, is not surprised. He got Drumpfie’s number (and by extension his sleazeball consigliere’s) a while back.

“the complaint, to be filed with the Justice Department Inspector General and the Senate Judiciary Committee.” Apparently Trump’s attorney has no idea what he’s doing. What is the IG’s office going to do with a complaint about a person who is no longer an employee and was not an employee at the time of the incident? Comey can’t have engaged in official misconduct if he wasn’t an official or under some continuing obligation (e.g. to protect classified material.)
What would a Senate committee do with such a “complaint?” It’s not a law enforcement agency and it’s not a court. Comey’s “leak” could be seen as a whistleblower action against potential abuse of office; it would be protected as a result.

But speaking of Title 18 . . . an agent of the President of the United States attempting to intimidate witnesses by filing false claims in retaliation for testimony and in an attempt to chill future speech and future whistleblowing by present government employees?

Comey notes of his conversation is not privileged information.
Nice try
Isn’t there some mob money you should be laundering?

The “leak” that the complaint refers to resulted in a New York Times article on May 16. It doesn’t refer to the publication of Comey’s upcoming testimony the day before the hearing.
That said, executive privilege simply doesn’t apply and as he explained, Comey made sure that the information he passed on was not classified. So the complaint is still baseless.

And, with this act little Donnie descends to full sleaze bag level. Little Donnie truly believes that everyone he “employs” has signed a non-disclosure pact. Since facts are irrelevant to Donnie he truly believes that his sleaze bag lawyer can bully Comey just as he has bullied so many people Donnie has stiffed.
Bingo!! Now, everyone who believes this will trigger an impeachment process to begin please contact me about a wonderful bridge I am putting up for sale.

This isn’t referring to his prepared statement.
This is about his notes about the conversation he had with Trump.
But still there is zero basis for this claim. It will be laughed out of court.
But the intent here is to distract, attack Comey, and froth up his base over “leaks”.

Comey violated the Federal Presidential Non-Disclosure Agreement Act of 2017.

How is it a leak if it’s done in pretty much public?
Without the healthy complexion:)
I see the origin of this is Van Jones, but the other day I saw a guy standing at a very busy SF intersection holding a big sign that had that phrase printed on a professional looking sign, and he was wearing a Nixon mask. That’s what resistance looks like. one guy on a street corner, and a cold and windy one at that.

My response was to dickweed’s comment. I wasn’t commenting on the story itself.
That may depend on how many judges McConnell can ram through before it gets that far.
I wasn’t commenting on the story itself but responding to dickweed’s comment.
