that would have lived within the rules of the doj and the fbi to establish? well, let s understand the context. it even says in the ig report, he told the ig, i m doing this because i could not trust the white house. i could not trust the president. and as jeremy said, all of his mistrust was actually right on the money. he ended up getting fired soon after did this. so what would i have done? i ve thought about this. there is a possibility you could have provided those memos to the house or senate. intelligence committees. you could have sent them to the ig. the ig works for the doj and the attorney general. he did what he felt he had to do. i once read an account of a state trooper who saved a family are a burning car on the highway. his supervisor rolls up on the scene. looks at the trooper and reprimands him for not wearing the regulation hat that was required. that s essentially what the ig did today. like it or not, comey felt the white house was on fire.
