James Comey reportedly is being investigated for possibly lying to Congress during testimony in 2020 about whether he authorized a leak of information.
That’s a whole different set of words, that don’t mean the same thing as what he’s being accused of, though.
They’re claiming that he authorized the leak…which means he either did or he didn’t…and it would have had to have happened before the leak occurred in order for it to be true. So, “after the fact” is not how that would have to have happened.
If all they were concerned with was why he didn’t punish the guy, then that is a completely different accusation than him authorizing it.
