Today's hearing was as close to a resounding success for Trump as he could have hoped for and now his attorney comes out and immediately starts fricking it up.

There is no way possible that the NYT could have more than one article about Comey and Trump during the month of May.

Oh wow, look what 30 seconds of google found:

In a Private Dinner, Trump Demanded Loyalty. Comey Demurred.


quote:

By MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT MAY 11, 2017


quote:

Only seven days after Donald J. Trump was sworn in as president, James B. Comey has told associates, the F.B.I. director was summoned to the White House for a one-on-one dinner with the new commander in chief.






Back to twitter for the next talking point.

ETA: I see CAD has already covered this.

The date of leak doesn't equal the date of an article being published.

It was reported that the press had the memo a week prior to running the story.




thank you

He spelled President as "Predisent" in a typed message. He doesn't even know how to use the spell check in the software he used.

uh, why exactly would Trump call out Comey for leaking to the press, if there had not been press reports about the meeting?

To defend the NYT and criticize Trump's atty on that tweet is beyond ignorant. There were only 2 people in the room. One was obviously talking. Trump threatened him with tapes. Well before the article on the 16th

That May 11 article makes no mention of the memo.

That article was what Trump responded to.

Then Comey called his bluff with releasing the memo.

This isn't a good look for you all. Yeesh.

Mr. Comey described details of his refusal to pledge his loyalty to Mr. Trump to several people close to him on the condition that they not discuss it publicly while he was F.B.I. director. But now that Mr. Comey has been fired, they felt free to discuss it on the condition of anonymity.



MAY 11


MAY.

ELEVENTH.

Boom goes the dynamite.

I'm still not seeing your point. Comey didn't just write memos, he also spoke about his conversations with several other people at DoJ.

I think you all are confusing Comey speaking about the meeting and leaking the memo.

These are 2 separate events.

It seems Trump's lawyer is also conflating the 2 events.

I will agree, that I can't find any mention of the Comey memo prior to May 16th and Trump did tweet on May 12th, however, we do not know when Comey leaked his memos.

It does seem to favor Comey at this point, but as others have stated, we do not know when NYT was given the memo, only when they published it.

I'm a Trump supporter, but this looks like a bust on Trumps team for this one. Wasn't necessary to bring up dates and try to refute Comey, when Comey did the damage himself. Should have just stuck with what Comey said under oath and not trying to stick more to the story

If your dynamite is a link to a google search where every link is referencing a memo written by Rod Rosenstein, you need new dynamite. It's not proving your point.
