Former FBI Director James Comey, who famously criticized former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for using personal email, used his own personal email account and laptop to conduct FBI business, the HuffPost reports.
The DOJ inspector generals report released on Thursday found that Comeys use of a personal Gmail address was inconsistent with FBI policy.

I think Comey's image of himself, that rather sanctimonious air, is forever crushed by this report. The idea he was using an unsecured email account to conduct FBI business while castigating Hillary Clinton for carelessness is beyond belief. Of course, we learned earlier that there were plenty of Congressmen doing the same--using unsecured devices yet screeching about Clinton.
The Trumpster's will attempt to exploit this for their own purposes, anything to protect the Mad King.
As for Comey? He'll be remembered for a moment of very bad, even disastrous judgment.
