Re: So Comey must be arrested.

He broke the law.

Here's a thought experiment:

Someone sexually harrasses your daughter.

She reports it to the local police, who say they will investigate it.

The local police chief then publishes her name, the name of the alleged perpetrator and the name of a local mayoral candidate who happened to have employed a partner of the alleged perpetrator on the local news - without your permission or knowledge.

You would not accept this, and it would be illegal.

That's what Comey did, except on an international rather than local scale. He must be prosecuted, and given the opportunity to defend his actions in court.

He's either deliberately broken the law (prison time) or he's an idiot, so he is clearly not fit to serve in his current role.
