i imagine you would have to prove he made these memos consistently

i want to see hillary/obama memos

) How do we know it was written when Comey claims? I can take out a notepad and scribble something down and antedate it to Feburary 14th. That doesn't mean I wrote it then.

This is true, but it is unlikely that the memo exists in a vacuum, meaning there is a difference between finding one solitary memo the guy wrote about something on a date he claims he wrote it , and finding multiple instances of him documenting various meetings and time stamping that documentation, which wouldn't mean 100% that he didn't write it today and just back date it, but it would lend more credibility to his claims.

That's how courts look at that sort of evidence

2) Does the memo really say what the media claim it says? Did Trump really "warn" or "insist" Comey back off? I doubt it.

---

No, in fact the memo didn't even purport to say what the media made it out to be. The words written were that Trump hoped Comey could do something, which is certainly not the same thing as ordering him to do anything. Any honest person realizes that.

3) Why didn't Comey come forward when it happened? If this is such a huge crime, wouldn't he act immediately? In fact, the law says he MUST act immediately when he encounters obstruction from anyone.

---

Because Comey did NOT think Trump was attempting to obstruct then or now. The goal of this release wasn't to get Trump impeached. It was simply to embarrass him.

The memo doesn't exist, so there goes that...

Not when the evidence has not been presented.

Is that as far as your reading got you?

Nope, but that is the only part that's relevant.

“We need all those memos,” Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said in an interview. “We’re going to try to get not just the Comey memo as you heard in my letter, but all memos, all communications between everybody — Comey, and other people in the hierarchy — and throughout the organization, wherever we have to, and over a long period of time.”

The senators requesting the documents — Grassley and Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) — said they want the records by May 24. Grassley also said in the interview that he will "probably, yes" call Comey to testify before his committee.

In the Intelligence Committee, Sens. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and Mark Warner (D-Va.) also sent a letter Wednesday to Comey asking that he testify before their panel in open and closed sessions. The senators had previously asked Comey to testify in closed session this Tuesday, but he declined.

If *all* of Comey's memos are admitted do you democrats think you will ever win anything again?

Im writing a memo today about the time my boss commited crimes in front of me and i never alerted the authorities... just in case i ever get canned.

For rational people, Trump saying that he hopes Comey can end the investigation with Flynn's firing isn't groundbreaking or earth shattering.

If Comey was a Republican and Trump was a Democrat, it wouldn't be a story.

So stop playing around. Appoint a special prosecutor, subpoena it and let it lead where it may. I am telling you, the DNC is playing with fire. Because they are not going to come out clean on this.

Democrats don't really want a special prosecutor, that is just political showmanship. If push came to shove, they would drop this nonsense. A special prosecutor is not bound to any one topic, They can investigate anything really, and no Democrat would someone like me, an investigator with no fricks to give, I'd arrest my own mom if she broke the law, investigating their shite show. I'd have all of their asses in prison.
