Disgraced former FBI Director illegally leaked to press to spark Russia witch hunt<\/b>
\nEx-FBI Director James Comey is currently under investigation for his mishandling of classified information, according to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz.
Horowitz confirmed on Monday that the Department of Justice is currently investigating Comey over his memo leaks to the press, which contained classified information, after the question was posed by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA).
\u201cQuestion number one, Mr. Horowitz, are you investigating the handling of his memo and does that include the classification issues, and should Mr. Comey expect a report when it\u2019s complete?\u201d Grassley asked.
\u201cWe received a referral on that from the FBI,\u201d Horowitz replied. \u201cWe are handling that referral and we will issue a report when the matter is complete, consistent with the law and rules that are\u2013a report that\u2019s consistent and takes those into account.\u201d
President Trump summed up the IG report\u2019s findings last Thursday following its release, noting Comey\u2019s illegally leaked memos were the catalyst for the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
\u201cSo, the Democrats make up a phony crime, collusion with the Russians, pay a fortune to make the crime sound real, illegally leak (Comey) classified information so that a special counsel will be appointed, and then collude to make this pile of garbage take on life in Fake News!\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n
