Rudy Giuliani: ‘Prosecutions Will Happen’ Following Damning IG Report On Comey
(Breitbart) – Rudy Giuliani weighed in on the explosive DOJ Inspector General Report on former FBI Director James Comey’s handling of the Russia probe and promised that “prosecutions will happen,” despite the Justice Department’s decision to refrain from prosecuting Comey.
Giuliani said the report proves that Comey “leaked and lied,” adding that it confirms that there was a concerted effort to remove President Trump based on a “contrived, false charge.”
“With what I know about Ukraine and elsewhere, I am sure that this happened and went higher and lower than Comey. Prosecutions will happen,” Giuliani declared:
IG report found Comey leaked and lied (was less than candid) as FBI Director. We all know he fixed the Hillary massive email, phone and server destruction case and tried to frame @realDonaldTrump. What a legacy! Oh, he prosecuted Martha Stewart for lying.

IG report on Comey shows that the Mueller investigation was an attempt to remove the President of the US based on a contrived, false charge? With what I know about Ukraine and elsewhere, I am sure that this happened and went higher and lower than Comey. Prosecutions will happen.

The report determined that Comey broke FBI rules by leaking memos from his private conversations with President Trump. It also found that the former FBI director set a “dangerous example” for other employees and noted that Comey sought “a personally desired outcome.”
“Comey’s own, personal conception of what was necessary was not an appropriate basis for ignoring the policies and agreements governing the use of FBI records,” the report stated.
“We conclude that Comey’s retention, handling, and dissemination of certain Memos violated Department and FBI policies, and his FBI Employment Agreement,” it continued.
Despite that, the DOJ declined to prosecute Comey.
“Upon completing its investigation, the OIG provided its factual findings to the Justice Department for a prosecutorial decision regarding Comey’s conduct, as required by the Inspector General Act,” the office stated.
“After reviewing the matter, the DOJ declined prosecution,” it added.
Despite Comey’s bizarre claim of vindication, many GOP leaders issued strong statements on the explosive report, describing it as a “stunning and unprecedented rebuke” of Comey.
“The Inspector General’s report is a stunning and unprecedented rebuke of a former Director of the FBI,” Rep. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said in a statement.
“This is the first of what I expect will be several more ugly and damning rebukes of senior DOJ and FBI officials regarding their actions and biases toward the Trump campaign of 2016,” he continued:

I appreciate the time and effort Mr. Horowitz and his team spent documenting the off-the-rails behavior of Mr. Comey regarding the leaking of law enforcement materials to the media.
I also appreciate Mr. Horowitz for reinforcing the proper standards expected of senior DOJ and FBI officials.
Well done Mr. Horowitz.
