FISA 702
Washington, April 19, 2018
Washington, D.C. – Today House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Ca.), House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) issued the following statement:
"We have long argued former Director Comey's self-styled memos should be in the public domain, subject to any classification redactions. These memos are significant for both what is in them and what is not.
Former Director Comey's memos show the President made clear he wanted allegations of collusion, coordination, and conspiracy between his campaign and Russia fully investigated. The memos also made clear the ‘cloud’ President Trump wanted lifted was not the Russian interference in the 2016 election cloud, rather it was the salacious, unsubstantiated allegations related to personal conduct leveled in the dossier.
The memos also show former Director Comey never wrote that he felt obstructed or threatened. While former Director Comey went to great lengths to set dining room scenes, discuss height requirements, describe the multiple times he felt complimented, and myriad other extraneous facts, he never once mentioned the most relevant fact of all, which was whether he felt obstructed in his investigation.
The memos also make certain what has become increasingly clear of late: former Director Comey has at least two different standards in his interactions with others. He chose not to memorialize conversations with President Obama, Attorney General Lynch, Secretary Clinton, Andrew McCabe or others, but he immediately began to memorialize conversations with President Trump. It is significant former Director Comey made no effort to memorialize conversations with former Attorney General Lynch despite concerns apparently significant enough to warrant his unprecedented appropriation of the charging decision away from her and the Department of Justice in July of 2016.
These memos also lay bare the notion that former Director Comey is not motivated by animus. He was willing to work for someone he deemed morally unsuited for office, capable of lying, requiring of personal loyalty, worthy of impeachment, and sharing the traits of a mob boss. Former Director Comey was willing to overlook all of the aforementioned characteristics in order to keep his job. In his eyes, the real crime was his own firing.
The memos show Comey was blind to biases within the FBI and had terrible judgment with respect to his deputy Andrew McCabe. On multiple occasions he, in his own words, defended the character of McCabe after President Trump questioned McCabe.
Finally, former Director Comey leaked at least one of these memos for the stated purpose of spurring the appointment of Special Counsel, yet he took no steps to spur the appointment of Special Counsel when he had significant concerns about the objectivity of the Department of Justice under Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
As we have consistently said, rather than making a criminal case for obstruction or interference with an ongoing investigation, these memos would be Defense Exhibit A should such a charge be made."

Gowdy must have drafted this. There are noticeable limp-wristed portions.
Ok, that's good.
Well, that's not good.
And Comey is now part of a general movement to ridicule POTUS and place his presidency in jeopardy. Additionally, Comey leaked these memos, knowing they are classified and did so with the intent of making the POTUS look bad and with the intent of spawning a SC.
Given the above, we now have a problem in this memo.
So, the problem here is that Comey is just a flawed man? No legal issues to pursue? Is that the message Gowdy wants us to take from this? It would appear that's the case.
So little man Gowdy is writing off the possibility that Comey was part of a conspiracy or engaged in illegal activity. Comey is just flawed and apparently out of his depth.
Finally, former Director Comey leaked at least one of these memos for the stated purpose of spurring the appointment of Special Counsel
But I thought there was no animus, Trey.
Well, if this doesn't prompt one to look at conspiracy, what does?
Well this seems nice but it's pretty weak. That fits in nicely with Gowdy's MO.

I don't think they were using this as their opportunity to make charges, rather they were taking a victory lap. I fully expect line-by-line charges to crop up next week once everyone has time to digest this and beat back the reporting sympathetic to Comey.
Of course this will be after The Orange One takes the lead by laying out his expectations via Twitter blasts (which has already begun).
Patience, grasshoppah.

Comey is a moral crusader with a YUGE ego problem. Unfortunately DC is full of these types.

Gowdy must have drafted this.

It's a pussified lack of candor - that's what it is - and it's typical of these little bitch Republicans. They are blessed with the best candidate they've had since Reagan and they do everything possible to shite this away.

^ This is what passes for an argument over in the intellectual vacuum that the big thread has become.

Yes, you are correct. Since the above person both directed the IG, and appointed Micheal E Horowitz, Esq.
Outside of those two "facts", continue on with your opinion, and personal feelings.

Your posts are usually pretty good in here. You are way off base with this crap though.
