That law is to make sure the person "going along" with the obstruction of justice is held responsible. Comey didn't go along with the President's hopes and wishes, and the President didn't push it any further until he fired him. Maybe Comey is looking for payback, but he wouldn't have let this memo leak if he had any worries he'd be "stung" for it. He's the head of the FBI. I think he knows the law and how it's treated, don't you?You boys are really creeping me out with all your calls of imprisoning the people who are calling out Trump's mistakes and misdeeds. This is America. Trump screwed up. Live with it and stop talking like a bunch of thug fascists.Can't imagine they'd find a penitentiary where the goon would be safe from the animals, but then that's his problem, eh? Try to out-slick the The Donald at your peril you fools.
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.

the question is - can you break the law to catch someone breaking the law then? if the law states that you must disclose someone trying to obstruct justice and you don't, why is that ok?
i'm tired of one side going around, through, over and whatever else to ignore laws they don't like to go after people for the same or lesser "crimes". if trump is guilty - fry him. if comey is guilty, fry him. if hillary is guilty, fry her.
are mistakes and misdeeds illegal and prosecutible or do people not like trump so suddenly they are?
