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

Source: CBS News

WASHINGTON -- Former FBI Director James Comey "most definitely" wants to testify before Congress -- and wrote other memos in addition to the one claiming President Trump asked him to drop an FBI investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn, a source familiar with Comey's thinking told CBS News' Andres Triay.

The Senate Intelligence Committee and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform have invited Comey to testify about the FBI investigation into Russian meddling and any ties to Mr. Trump's associates, as well as the events surrounding his ouster.

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.

Before you get excited, bear in mind that NONE of these memos are likely to emerge until Mueller's investigation is completed.

assuming that he/she/they had access to more files, would they have revealed the one with the most damaging information first? Or would they have held that one back, waiting on the reaction to this news, but letting it be known that there were more out there?

I'm thinking it's the latter. Time will tell.

to come to Capital Hill. He's playing it smart. He wants to be subpoena-ed, it leaves a paper trial that shows no doubt how guilty this SOB is, it's smart. He's getting his memos and papers in order.

but enough with the promising already - time to deliver on the goods. Comey needs to say when he will actually do the open testimony. Hope this is being scheduled and announced soon.
