President Trump said Thursday he wouldn’t be “standing here” if he hadn’t fired then-FBI director James Comey in a post-impeachment acquittal celebration. Trump added: “If this happened to President Obama, a lot of people would have been in jail for a long time already." More recently, an inspector general report last August found that Comey had violated FBI policies by drafting, leaking and retaining memos documenting private discussions with Trump. Comey specifically leaked his memos to a friend, Columbia Law School Professor Daniel Richman, who now serves as Comey's legal counsel. Flynn recently withdrew his guilty plea for one count of lying to the FBI in the White House.
