Some Republicans are questioning why former FBI Director James Comey didn't write a memo about his meetings with former Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.) and Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) both raised concerns about the fact that Comey did not write a memo about his conversation with Lynch.

The comments come after Comey testified last week he felt "queasy" last year when Lynch urged him to reword how his agency characterized the probe into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's use of email. Lynch allegedly asked that he refer to it as a "matter" rather than an investigation.
quote:

Gohmert said he thinks Comey ruined his own credibility and said Lynch was using her official position to help the campaign of 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

"And that didn't seem to bother him enough to do a memo," he said.

Because he wasn't scared of getting fired - or else he's lying again and probably has a drawer full of memos that he's keeping under lock and key just in case, well, you know the rest ca.

Comey is a liar. He doesn't have a single memo, and even if he does, they are his version of what happened. Comedy's memos only mattered when dems thought they could hammer Trump with them.

Because it wasn't a private meeting. Lots of witnesses. King and Gohmert have to be idiots for not seeing that.

Because he didn't think Lynch would systematically lie about the interaction in the way that he knew Trump would/has.

"Let's talk about anything other than the subject at hand."

Trump is a liar. He 100% promised to testify.

But "Look over there!"

James Comey is Washington D.C.'s version of Roger Goodell. He paints a picture of himself being this ethical, holier than thou figurehead. But in actuality he's just a slimy piece of shite only out for numero uno.

His memos were made up after the fact this is why they are not on the FBI computers. Comey is working for the deep state!

Trump has been shown to be a pathological liar. It's typically a good idea to document official encounters with pathological liars.

Several reasons...

Lynch said what she said to many people, not privately to Comey.

Lynch isn't a well known liar like Trump.

The directive to refer to something as a "matter" publicly instead of an "investigation" isn't out of line with DOJ protocol. Especially when you consider that they knew the Trump campaign was under investigation and never admitted it publicly.
