Well, that’s not true at all.
Provide a quote from the report to back up your position – I’ll offer the entire conclusion which makes it clear that the functioning of the FBI is dependent on not indulging in personal opinions.
Strzok. Page. Again and again.
A tidbit
As a result of their review, Baker, Strzok, the Unit Chief, and Page recommended
classifying portions of Memo 2, Memo 3, and Memo 7, which had not been marked
classified by Comey. At the time they conducted this review, none of these
individuals knew that Comey had shared copies of Memos 2, 4, 6 and 7 with his attorneys.
Amazing.
Everyone in the FBI giving their personal opinions and case notes to the media is not whistleblowing. As the report says, Comey released information on ongoing cases even as he told Congress he could not talk about certain things because they were ongoing cases.
Comey had other routes he could have taken for his concerns, which makes it definitely not whistle blowing. As the report concludes:
“Comey had several other lawful options available to him to advocate for the appointment of a Special Counsel, which he told us was his goal in making the disclosure.”
- B. Whistleblowing specifically identified as an exception.
“Opinions”?
Here is older gem/thread that I came across looking for something else.
Seems fitting here.
Comey violated FBI policy and the requirements of his FBI Employment
Agreement when he chose this path. By disclosing the contents of Memo 4,
through Richman, to The New York Times, Comey made public sensitive
investigative information related to an ongoing FBI investigation, information he
had properly declined to disclose while still FBI Director during his March 20, 2017
congressional testimony.
C. Comey Failed to Immediately Alert the FBI to the Unauthorized Disclosure of Classified Information
Page 59
He also didn’t give them the copies of the memos. He tried to keep them. For his book no doubt.
This clown was the Director of the freakin’ FBI.
Nothing will happen to Comey or any of these people.
Swine eat slop at the same trough.

From the conclusion
We have previously faulted Comey for acting unilaterally and inconsistent
with Department policy.103 Comey’s unauthorized disclosure of sensitive law
enforcement information about the Flynn investigation merits similar criticism. In
a country built on the rule of law, it is of utmost importance that all FBI employees
adhere to Department and FBI policies, particularly when confronted by what
appear to be extraordinary circumstances or compelling personal convictions.
Comey had several other lawful options available to him to advocate for the
appointment of a Special Counsel, which he told us was his goal in making the
disclosure. What was not permitted was the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive
investigative information, obtained during the course of FBI employment, in order
to achieve a personally desired outcome.
Emphasis mine. Again and again and again. Just like Strzok and Page.
And what was the “personally desired outcome”?
Comey and his little cabal are a stain on the already tarnished reputation of the FBI.
Anybody who trusts such an organization to do anything is a fool.

So which is more damning; the Mueller Report on Trump or this one?

- Both equally damning

- Neither is damning

- Doesn’t matter, I’m going to whine about the poll options no matter what

"Comey had several other lawful options available to him to advocate for the
appointment of a Special Counsel, which he told us was his goal in making the
disclosure. "
?
So you want to pull the wings off the fly one at a time? Ok, here’s some math:
Comey+Strzok+Page+Steele+X (where X is all other ■■■■ heads involved) = change the result of the election.
They didn’t want Trump to be President. As bad as Trump is, and he is very, very bad, they don’t get to decide that. Bureaucrats tried to overturn the results of the 2016 Presidential election. Period.
“Lawful” - what an interesting choice of words.
Correct, but does not speak to what I was talking about. Basic “Comey bad”. Got ti.
B. Disclosure of FBI Information for Non-Official Use Purposes
Pursuant to FBI policy, all information acquired by FBI personnel “in
connection with official FBI duties, as well as all official material to which FBI personnel have access, is the property of the United States.”25 Accordingly, before
disclosing FBI information outside of the FBI for non-official purposes, current or
former FBI personnel must obtain, with limited exceptions such as for
whistleblowing and disclosures to Congress, advance permission from the FBI.26
This policy applies to any type of disclosure—whether oral, written, or electronic.27
FBI employees agree to be bound by this requirement when they sign the FBI
Employment Agreement.
Emphasis mine. You’re wrong.
Comey is a ■■■■ bag.
Don’t you say that about Karl Rove!
This poll isn’t fair! I don’t like the options! You’re mean!
