You guys got successfully trolled by Trump's lawyer. It is so obvious the May 11 story came from a Comey memo.
There's no way in hell the NYT holds back the Flynn thing if they're going off the memo.

Yep. This tells me it was second hand info. Not directly from the memo.

the public record reveals the NYT was quoting from these memos


so we finally agree the language the NYT used on May 11 were exact quotes from the memo (which only surfaced later right?)

game set match

Comey admits he was leaking material. The only question is as to why.
To get Rosenstein to pull his thumb out his arse and appoint a special counsel? I don't see any reason to disbelieve Comey's motives there.

It still means that Comey leaked the memo to someone who in turn leaked it to nyt prior to Trump tweet.

yup. but people ware acting dense in this thread.

you honestly think comey VERBALLY told his buddy what was said to trump who then VERBALLY relayed that at a later time to the NYT yet they got the exact syntax and phrasing from the memo?

cuz that how it happened right?

so how does it work. did comey read the memo aloud on the phone to his buddy who recorded it and then his buddy played that back to the NYT days later??

how in your funny little world did the exact memo phrasing get over to the NYT days or even possibly weeks after the conversation with comey took place?

WHAT A GREAT MEMORY HIS BUDDY (who didn't have the memoe) HAS!!



YOU CRACkED THE CASE!

You think the NYT would have held back the Flynn stuff? Because that was by far the biggest story when this broke.

I seem to remember reports around the time the news of the existence of the memos broke that the friend was dictating portions of the memos to the press. This also explains why the "Flynn is a good guy" leak came later. So we should say that Comey did not leak the memos to the press in full, but instead gave the memo to his friend with instructions to leak portions of the memos to the press. So...how is that better or substantively any different?

you think the NYT just happened to use the exact same phrases that were in the memo prior to May 12 because ______________ . (fill in the blank)

Yes? Usually the telephone game requires more than two people before anything funny happens.

the May 11th article only talks about the "pledge for loyalty"

it doesn't go into full detail

you have literally stated nothing correct in this thread

but but partial memo leak means comey didnt leak.

the memo was only 'mostly read'.

and of course the fact that over a month passed from the meeting with trump means comey's buddy has a mind like a steel trap.

Yea....it does. That person may not have given the NYT the memo at that point, but it was still leaked to the NYT that (a) there was a memo, and (b) that memo says Trump told Comey that he hoped Comey would "let Flynn go"
