They already said they do not have them, but Comey's bud is alleged to have copies. Sue him.

Well I don't think a lawsuit based on an FOIA request would be applicable to a private citizen but whatever.

I know this is probably a dumb question but ill ask anyway.

would filing a freedom of information inquiry grant them access to those memos if they do exist?

Those that fear the deep state shoud be on the side of CNN in this case.

We were assured that such memos weren't classified, since they were leaked to Comey's pal, so I would like to see the rationale used if the FBI were to choose not to turn them over.

Sauces revealed a search of FBI equipment (computers, hard drives, etc) showed no trace of the supposed memo's. The actual existence of any "Comey/Trump memo" is doubtful, at least any written prior to his firing.

Comey was fired while literally across the country from his office. His office was searched and packed up without him having access to anything in the office. No memo's in possession of the FBI, no results of a search of FBI computer equipment.

If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit! (As seen on CNN)

If they aren't classified, CNN should get them. I despise that network with a passion but if they want to do some real journalism for a change, I'm all for it.

Amazing how Cernovich is followed like the Gospel but the real news report of the friend turning over the memos is ignored.

They are suing for something that didn't exist until it was politically convenient. Whatever they get wont contradict what we already know.

If they were classified, then Comey committed a crime by sending them to his buddy. If they weren't classified, then they will have to be turned over and the details of their preparation can be determined. It's a win-win.

They should contact Comeys neighbor. They may have a few copies.

Even though the memos are an integral part of an investigation? I'm not too sure about that.

I hear Comey's dad has a copy on the fridge.

He's awful proud of that boy.

So CNN acknowledges that the memos should be turned over due to FOIA laws, meaning they ARE federal records, not Comey's own personal diary notes.

Comey broke the law.

Well that can be verified either by his alleged consultation with other FBI officials & legal counsel AND there should be some sorry of electronic trail verify the date.
