Comey "most definitely" wants to testify before Congress -- and he wrote more memos: Source

[kpete]

On Wednesday, the Department of Justice appointed former FBI director Robert Mueller to be the special counsel in charge of the Russia investigation.

But the memo documenting Comey's February meeting with the president that prompted that invitation may not be the only memo that exists. Comey wrote other memos, although this source didn't elaborate on that point. Other people familiar with Comey's style of working told CBS News they fully expect more Comey memos exist.

Comey has not yet informed Rep. Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the oversight panel, whether he will testify at a public hearing scheduled next week, Chaffetz told CBS News' Scott Pelley Wednesday. A source familiar with Comey's thinking said the ousted FBI director is willing to work on finding a time and a way to testify.

Chaffetz told Pelley he wants the hearing with Comey to do the hearing "as publicly as we possibly can."

1. We absolutely need Comey to testify publicly.

As media reported yesterday, the end result of Mueller's investigations will end in a report that is submitted to the Justice department. He will not report his findings to the public. PERHAPS Congress will be able to force him to testify for them but he will likely be reserved in nature.

I would rather have Comey tell us what he knows now. Mueller can still do his job even with Comey's testimony out there. It will provide more context for why Mueller is needed.
