This is evidence but it seems like the clearest evidence of Trump trying to influence the investigation is firing the guy in charge of it.


This bears repeating.

His, or his associate's, intent was for Congress to include the memo in their coming subpoena.

Am I the only one that's surprised it took Comey this long before firing his first shot back at Trump? If this conversation really took place I can guarantee that Trump's boys already have a response ready to knee cap Comey at the appropriate time.

so who is lying? or does it depend on who you want to be lying?


Was Comey's major problem lying? Stepping over boundary's, uses "can't comment" alot on hearings, and has bad timing on press releases, sure. But lying didn't seem like his thing.

The other person is much more murky in the realm of "truthfulness"

Dude I really don't know who is lying


The letter is an unclassified memo.

Just release it.

wholesale.


it belongs to the FBI. comey isn't going to release FBI documents after getting fired, and i can't imagine the FBI will release their documents without some court order or request and approval going through the proper channels.

Well the difference is that there are tapes (per trump), and memos, and transcripts that will sort this out.

All of which will be subpoenaed by the senate

Here's the cycle of how this story will play out.

- Damaging Trump story is released
- Media hyperventilates
- Trump supporters go into a shell, waiting for cracks in the story to appear.
- Trump detractors think this is finally the bombshell they've been waiting for
- A few talking/deflection points start making the rounds
- Trump supporters start regaining their confidence and latch onto to whatever deflection works for that day. If that doesn't work they will use the default "But Hillary/Obama" line.
- It becomes a Left-Right pissing match all night
- The next morning, Trump tweets something retarded that he saw on Fox & Friends.
- People move on to another Trump story that comes out 24 hours after the original story breaks

he's a company man. he's not going to testify about what went on in his office without an order to do so.

More chance of Trump firing off some more tweets to further incriminate himself. Like, way more chance.
