If Comey Memo Is Real and He Held It Without Turning It Over - He May Be
Prosecuted!

Well, how about that!
FOX News legal expert Gregg Jarrett argued Tuesday that if James Comey
obstructed justice and held onto a memo of the president asking him to end
an investigation then Comey could be prosecuted.
Quite a pickle!
FOX News reported:
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.
So, if Comey believed Trump attempted to obstruct justice, did he
comply with the law by reporting it to the DOJ? If not, it calls into
question whether the events occurred as the Times reported it.
Prosecuted!

STILL can't understand why liberal Democrats are so in love with Muslims.
Muslims are against abortion, contraception, pre-marital sex, they kill
homosexuals BY LAW and they treat women as slaves and chattel. Their old
men rape little boys and get away with it... oh, and they HATE you. Am I
leaving anything else out that you just LOVE about them?
