COLUMBIA LAW PROFESSOR DANIEL RICHMAN’S LEGAL EXPOSURE + 'SPECIAL GOVERNMENT' EMPLOYEE CONNECTION According to FBI…

COLUMBIA LAW PROFESSOR DANIEL RICHMAN’S LEGAL EXPOSURE + 'SPECIAL GOVERNMENT' EMPLOYEE CONNECTION According to FBI records declassified by @FBIDirectorKash in 2015, then Director @Comey got Richman hired at the FBI.  Richman’s responsibilities included protecting and burnishing the FBI and Comey’s public image. The records state, ”In 2015, Comey instructed the FBI to hire (Daniel) Richman (a Columbia University Law Professor) as a Special Government Employee and to grant him a Top Secret clearance …Comey also used Richman as a liaison to the media.” The memo continued, “Richman contacted journalists to correct stories critical of Comey…” and Richman “had been a source” for the New York Times that “...quoted Richman several times both on the record and on background, in stories regarding Jim Comey.” While Comey told senators, under oath in 2017, that he had never authorized anyone at the FBI to leak to the media, the records show Comey personally instructed the FBI to hire his friend, Richman,  who acted as a de facto PR media rep for Comey and his agenda. The declassified records also reveal that Richman told investigators he spoke in January 2017 to NY Times reporter Michael Schmidt and the classified information came up in their conversation. Richman claimed the reporter knew more detail about the highly sensitive intelligence than he did.  While the information was of unknown credibility, it reportedly suggested that then Attorney General Loretta Lynch was somehow compromised in the Clinton email case.  Given the highly classified nature, we may never know the details. According to the FBI records, “Richman was pretty sure he did not confirm the Classified Information. However, Richman told the interviewing agents he was sure ‘with a discount.’” Asked what that “with a discount” means, a former senior Justice Department official, Jim Trusty told me, “..he (Richman) has some doubts about the certainty with which he can express himself. So he's just basically saying, give me a little discount here. Don't treat it as the basis of a false statement someday.” A false statement would be prosecuted under 18 USC 1001 which I mentioned earlier. The highly classified intelligence was apparently a factor in Comey’s controversial decision to circumvent his boss, AG Lynch, and announce in the summer of 2016 that no charges were warranted for Clinton’s mishandling of highly classified information in her State Department emails. I first reported on the ARCTIC HAZE records in 2025 which are available in the thread
