Do we know what Comey purposedly leaked the information before the memo? Or did others in the FBI?

Comey already stated that he shared the memo with others in the FBI. Could any of those others have leaked the info?

When you accuse someone of lying, this is the type of stuff you need to know.

Its almost as if Comey wasn't there when his boss (the man who owns executive privilege) cleared the room?

Amirite?

Someone with access to that memo released some or all of it prior to the Trump Tweet. I think that much is clear. We don't know exactly who did it, and we don't know who had access to it. We will never know that most likely. What we do know is that Comey is responsible for it being leaked.

Not that I GAF. This memo bullshite is fricking retarded.

Perhaps.

Its obvious that someone with knowledge of the conversation did, at least.

Are you really hung up on the word quote? Would it be better if it said cite? Does that really make a difference?

You honestly think it is a coincidence that on May 11th the NYT reported the substance of the conversations as reflected in the memo alegedly leaked in full on May 12th?

You just happen to think that the source of the May 11th NYT article were Comey's associates who Comey had discussed the conversations weeks or months earlier? They just so happened to call the NYT and give them information that tracks the language of the memo? From memory having been told weeks or months before?

The timing hardly supports coincidence and multiple sources in this instance.

To get Rosenstein to pull his thumb out his arse and appoint a special counsel?
Why?

The FBI is an investigatory branch. You are referring to a prosecutor. Was there an attempt by Rosenstein to obstruct what the FBI was doing? No!

Until that occurred, Comey should have had ZERO interest in the issue of a special counsel one way or another. None!

So if youre a law professor, at Columbia (NYC) and you get fed a memo from the FBI Director, which news organization do you contact?

CNN (Atlanta). Nope
WaPo (DC). Nope
NYT (NYC). BINGO!

Which would pretty much destroy Comey's narrative as far as the timeline

Unless he has a political horse in the race. But then he's not the independent paragon of virtue.

Because, as Comey repeatedly stated, he didn't just write a memo. He also told other FBI officials about conversations he had just had with Trump. Those conversations formed the basis of the May 11 story.



Then why the code red?

If the information on the meeting was already leaked by someone other than Comey, then why did he feel the need to leak the information in response to the tweet?

The Left hyperventilated that Comey was too political in the events leading up to the election. Now we're being sold that he's the second coming of George Washington. And it's all simply agenda driven to take down a Republican.

So transparent.

The information leaked on May 11th was only to counter the lies Trump told Lester Holt that morning about the dinner.

He wouldn't release the Flynn info because it couldn't be corroborated. That changed with the "tapes" tweet.

You guys cant keep your narrative straight, because you've lost track of the lies. Comey should be prosecuted for perjury at this point
