"Comey wrote a memo about NEARLY EVERY SINGLE INTERACTION with Donald Trump."

[Miles Archer]

Just now on MSNBC.

"Close friend" of Comey said that the meeting asking to drop Flynn is 100% legit and praised NYT on their reporting, said Comey wrote a memo on "nearly every single interaction with Donald Trump."

1. Drip drip drip

Vengeance is a dish best served very slowly and deliberately.

[ismnotwasm]

2. Holy shit.

[Cha]

44. Comey Damns Trump By Saying He Didn't Write Memos On Obama Because Obama Was Truthful

3. Woof! I really did laugh out loud.

[Kingofalldems]

4. Hahaha!

[mucifer]

5. Wouldn't surprise me if donald has something on Comey

Bet he's regretting some decisions he made in November.

[bathroommonkey76]

7. I doubt little Donnie has anything on Comey

Everything that comes from his administration is a lie.

[Miles Archer]

10. Well, he DID refuse to take the loyalty oath.

[malaise]

6. This one is obstruction of justice

[mcar]

8. Ruh Ro!

[sheshe2]

9. Oh Boy!

Sing!

[yallerdawg]

17. Here's what seriously pisses me off about this asshole Comey.

All this going on - memos, anecdotes about conversations, investigations.

What did Comey talk to America about? Hillary's emails!

What was the last thing Comey told us before the Corrupt One fired him?

Paraphrased: "Huma sent her husband thousands of classified emails for him to print out!"

FBI had to correct his "misstatements" the day Comey was fired!

When Comey had the chance to do a great service to the American people - he did nothing.

[deurbano]

26. Yeah, he wants to play the "hero" again, now... but he got us here.

[still_one]

30. You are absolutely right. When Comey sent the letter to the FBI to the republicans in Congress,

and the media reported it as the "email investigation had been reopened", that was a deliberate LIE, and Comey went mute, and made himself unavailable to correct that false report that was being propagated by the republicans and the media, that made him part of the LIE, and he disgraced himself and the FBI by his silence

[Control-Z]

11. Can you tell me which

meeting we're talking about? And who wanted to drop Flynn from what? I guess I should know this but there are so many Flynn stories at this point.

Thanks!

[Miles Archer]

15. Comey and Trump were in the room with Sessions and Pence.

Pence left, Sessions tried to stick around, and he was asked to leave.

Trump met privately with Comey and asked him to drop the Flynn investigation.

That's today's big story...just broke a while ago.

[Control-Z]

21. Thanks. I haven't had the news on today.

I've been watching Homeland for the first time. Kind of binge watching. I started with season 1, episode 1 last night. I'm now on episode 6.

I needed something a little more normal, or expected, I guess, than RL is right now. And easier to stomach. Lol.

[Purrfessor]

27. Great show!

[LAS14]

16. Yeah, I was confused about the "drop Flynn" bit. nt

[montanto]

12. This obstruction,

and the upcoming attempt to cover up this obstruction, should be the end for our "dear" leader.

[calguy]

13. Don't mess with the FBI

Trump is going to learn the hard way. When Comey starts talking the shit is gonna hit the fan.

[AngryAmish]

18. Can't fire everyone in the Deep State.

He is so stupid.

[canetoad]

14. Nicely played by Comey

Now that Trump has issued the denial, he can obviously back it up with the tape he made.

[Leghorn21]

19. Holy fuck, I can BREATHE - and who else has obstructed, I can't remember - Nunes -

Didn't Priebus make a lil phone call to the FBI quite a while back?

And why wouldn't Director Comey wear a wire?? Like seriously?

No, sorry, but I'm just not in the mood to "LET THIS GO", MOTHERFUCKER

[Jarqui]

20. Fast forward to them leading this heartless, lying con man away in handcuffs

Can't wait.

[gratuitous]

22. So Comey was paying attention during the campaign

Nothing came of it (of course), but there was a report last year that President Trump's own lawyers learned over time to have at least two lawyers in on every meeting with him, because Trump couldn't be trusted to follow through on things he agreed to do during a meeting, or even to admit that he'd agreed to things during a meeting.

Comey clearly learned that he needed to memorialize things right after any meeting with Trump.

[grantcart]

23. I am guessing he kept a copy of each one too lol.

[Equinox Moon]

24. Where and how were the memos saved?

One would think after his firing all his stuff was collected, but by whom?

[avebury]

38. If he was smart he would have kept a thumb drive or some other type

of external drive and saved a copy all of any documentation relating to his dealings with Trump. That is what I would do.

[Equinox Moon]

43. I have since heard on the news that he left copies at the FBI amongst co-workers.

He intentionally wanted a paper trail, plus, he told co-workers what trump said, at the time.

[avebury]

45. I had heard that he established his reputation for documenting his meetings

back in the Bush Jr era when they discusses torture. Whether you like the guy or not, you have to admit he is not totally stupid when it comes to protecting himself from misguided Presidents. If only he hadn't released the Hillary email crap just before the election he would probably have a good reputation but that act did taint him.

[Xipe Totec]

25. Jesus! Talk about a blank check!

[Generic Other]

28. Just like anyone who has to deal with a difficult person at work

One has to document the interactions, so there is a timeline and a paper trail. Comey's little black book.

[Honeycombe8]

29. Bwahahahaha! Comey was a careful, meticulous Director. Bwahahahaha! nt

[JNelson6563]

31. Well of course he did!

It's practically ancient wisdom to keep a written record of VERY important interactions. But of course Team Trump didn't think of that because they possess no wisdom among them.

[MrPurple]

32. Wonder if Comey lost access to any of his memos/evidence

when he was surprise fired while in LA and lost access to his office and his work computers. That's probably why Trump fired him when he did, so they could seize his office/computers while he was out of town. As dumb as he is, Trump (or at least Bannon) had to know that the timing of the firing the day before meeting with the Russians would play terribly. They had to have been desperate to get it done then or they would have timed it better and fabricated a better backstory.

[avebury]

39. As I indicated above, if he was smart he would have backed up all of this

documentation on an external hard drive or thumb drive that he kept with him at all times while at work and hid somewhere else when not.

I know someone who used her personal phone to document what went on at work.

[RobinA]

46. If He Doesn't

note and secure conversations with the likes of Trump he isn't fit to be FBI Director. Of course, I would have said that the CIA director knew e-mail wasn't secure, and look how that turned out...

In this age of lay-offs, firings, investigations, etc., even most Joe Average Workers have stuff stashed.

[nolabear]

33. Honey, he's FBI.

I mean seriously.

[LuckyLib]

37. Exactly. They know what a loose cannon T is. Comey would document everything verbatim.

[gay texan]

34. a bit of speculation here

I think, ultimately, Comey knew Trump was going to pull some bullshit like this so he made seriously good notes.

I still hate Comey for what he did to the 2016 election, but he might be on the road to redemption.

Just speculating

[spanone]

35. i bet you could take the 'nearly' out of that sentence.

[Tatiana]

36. Guess Comey is going to prove that he doesn't need to be FBI Director to nail Trump.

I think they are going to drip, drip, drip until Trump gets the F out of office or is impeached.

They won't be able to function with the steady drumbeat of obstruction of justice and treason.

Remember Comey's goodbye letter? Looks like his agents are ready.

[catbyte]

40. I've read that Comey did the same thing every time he met with President Obama. The only difference

is that President Obama acted like a President and never asked Comey to do anything hinky, impeachable, or illegal.

[FreepFryer]

47. CNN is reporting Comey did not write memos of his convos w (the truthful) President Obama.

42. This does not surprise me

Comey is a lawyer

[GusBob]

48. Why are people surprised? He is a smart law enforcement officer. Trumps own lawyers know he lies

During the campaign we were informed that because Trump had such a hard time telling the truth, in meeting with his lawyers there was always more than one lawyer present to ensure veracity of events
