and then there's this.....James Comey won't be prosecuted over FBI memos.....

The Justice Department inspector general's office referred former FBI Director James Comey for potential prosecution over his handling of memos that the FBI later determined contained classified information, a person familiar with the matter confirmed Thursday.

Justice Department prosecutors declined to prosecute Comey, in part because they didn't believe there was evidence to show Comey knew and intended to violate laws on handling classified information.
At issue were memos that Comey shared with a friend and attorney, Daniel Richman, who then shared the information with a New York Times reporter.
Two memos Comey shared contained information the FBI deemed as "confidential," the lowest classification level.

But it still means that the IG made a criminal referral for the former head of the FBI.

How is it we're hearing this before we see the IG report?

Open Trail under Oath would sink not only Trump but a few other Congressional Players. Comey paper trail sounds very extensive.
