Then you agree with what Trump's lawyer said, that the NYT essentially appeared to be quoting from the memo the day before the Trump tweet.
The words "essentially appeared to be" are not in his lawyer's response. I would agree with that statement, but not that Kasowitz said it.

His lawyer didn't qualify it like you have. He flat out said the NYT quoted the memo in their May 11th article. That did not happen. They discussed the presence of the memo and what someone told them it contained.

It's possible that someone was Comey or his lawyer friend, but not definitive.

We're not alters, he just sits a few terminals down from me at CTR. Does this mean you were talking out your arse about April 9 news stories?

I don't think the May 11th article mentions the memo at all

It makes perfect sense that Comey tells friends about the conversations. They go to the media about said conversations.
The same exact identical conversations from Comey's memo. Of all the potential conversations? Not the failed camouflage episode at the WH? Not the random small talk phone call? Not Comey's other recollections regarding Trump or Obama? Of the dozens and dozens of stories, these just happened to appear as if they were read from the Comey memo.


Right.

I think you're right. I only just skimmed it when someone linked it earlier in the thread.

Did Comey not write memos after all his Trump conversations?

I'll spell it out for you.

Trump and Comey have a private dinner.

Comey claims he started keeping memos about his Trump interactions.

NYT prints an article detailing what was discussed during that private dinner on 5/11.

Trump tweets the following day.

Am I missing something?

Yes? That conversation was by far the most newsworthy.

Yes, that Comey didn't just keep memos on the interactions, he told other FBI guys about the interactions. So you have both a written account of the interaction and several hearsay sources depending on how many of those FBI guys were also leaking.

So I don't get how Comey having a memo for this conversation makes it some grand coincidence, especially since it was the main conversation

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


Can you clarify the difference between leaking through a conversation and leaking through a written memo.

Are we supposed to be cool with one but not the other?

You guys got successfully trolled by Trump's lawyer. It is so obvious the May 11 story came from a Comey memo. It's minimally relevant whether it ditectly quotes the memo or not if the question is the source of the leak.

When accusing someone of lying under oath, they are different, no?

You don't have to be cool with anything.

Whatever you say, Iosh. Just think about what was going on here for a minute. Comey admits he was leaking material. The only question is as to why.
