Some Republicans are questioning why former FBI Director James Comey didn't write a memo about his meetings with former Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.) and Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) both raised concerns about the fact that Comey did not write a memo about his conversation with Lynch.

The comments come after Comey testified last week he felt "queasy" last year when Lynch urged him to reword how his agency characterized the probe into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's use of email. Lynch allegedly asked that he refer to it as a "matter" rather than an investigation.
quote:

Gohmert said he thinks Comey ruined his own credibility and said Lynch was using her official position to help the campaign of 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

"And that didn't seem to bother him enough to do a memo," he said.

Because he wasn't scared of getting fired - or else he's lying again and probably has a drawer full of memos that he's keeping under lock and key just in case, well, you know the rest ca.

Comey is a liar. He doesn't have a single memo, and even if he does, they are his version of what happened. Comedy's memos only mattered when dems thought they could hammer Trump with them.

Because it wasn't a private meeting. Lots of witnesses. King and Gohmert have to be idiots for not seeing that.

Comey is Herman Munster and Paul Ryan is Eddie.

I think more than two republicans should be screaming this...But then again most GOPer's probably love them some Eric Holder mentored Comey.

Because he didn't think Lynch would systematically lie about the interaction in the way that he knew Trump would/has.

The woman who refused to say whether or not it’s illegal to lie under oath, when she testified before the Judiciary committee. Yeah, okay.

I'm confused.

I hear both that Comey's memos & testimony exonerate Trump and that they were bad faith/frauds that wrongfully attempt to implicate him.

Which is it?

I'm starting to think this also.

Remember, noone actually saw the memo when the story first broke. The leaker read excerpts to the reporter over the phone. I haven't followed it much after that, but did the entire memo ever surface?

There was also a report that noone in the fbi has been able to recover any comey memos since the testimony.

comey is the lowest of lows.

He was paid off by the clintons years ago to look the other way with their pardon of marc rich.

marc rich should have been doing life in prison but the sleazy clintons, a low level DOJ flunky named comey let marc rich off scott-free.

comey got a HUGE payoff with a cushy job at Lockheed Martin.

The sleaze gets deeper and deep with the clinton and comey connections.

Your precious 'muh russians' meme has failed. Trump now has the upper hand, he has the intel

comey knew/knows that and he is trying to CYA his sorry sleazy self.

If the memos existed they would have been presented to congress instead of the statement. Or the memos are damning because they can prove he never took Lynch notes etc.. So if your Comey the best thing is to say they don't exist and then burn them.

Subpoened deadline of Comey memos missed.

So why was Comey not asked ONE time why he failed to turn in the memos? Or was this just for Chaffetz's/Gowdy's committee?

"Let's talk about anything other than the subject at hand."

Trump is a liar. He 100% promised to testify.

But "Look over there!"

James Comey is Washington D.C.'s version of Roger Goodell. He paints a picture of himself being this ethical, holier than thou figurehead. But in actuality he's just a slimy piece of shite only out for numero uno.
