Comey's memos

Five of presumably seven of Comey's memos held by DOJ were released to congress. You can read them here.  Shearyl Attkisson summarizes the memos very nicely on her twitter account here.

The memos were used as reason to launch Mueller's investigation into Trump collusion with Russia to bend the election in his favor, but there is nothing in these five memos that suggest any such thing, and that is why Rosenstein was so resistant to turn them over. He knew they contained nothing incriminating but were used for leverage anyway. They are a bluff.

We hold the idea that Comey kept notes as events occurred, such as Henry Kissinger did during his terms in government so that when it came time to write his books. The White House Years and Years of Upheaval, his attention lavished on the day to day details and the precise wording in meetings is something remarkable remarkable to behold. But that is not the case with Comey. He wrote them all at once.

Comey was fired on May 9th. He leaked portions of his memos May 16th. Mueller was appointed May 17th. That's way too fast, too convenient, for natural development. It was planned.
Tragedy that a special counsel investigation was launched by leaking of the memos (which Comey has admitted). No basis in the memos to trigger a criminal investigation & it is to the discredit of Rosenstein that he caved to the pressure of the media/Democrats & appointed Mueller.

"It was planned."

Absolutely. Transparently. If this can just be conveyed to the general public...by Trump, who else? the whole dirty scheme will be neutralized. Yes, we'd like it and them to be more than neutralized but that's about all that can be hoped for.

All the people involved who still have jobs are all repositioned from their original duties.

And you notice there hasn't been a peep out of them.

They are busted. BUSTED. BUSTED to pieces.

They were told to sit down and shut up, and when they are needed they'll be called, and when told to speak then they'll spill. They are cooperating as witnesses. Against the others. In the hope of prosecutors going light on them.

Sounds like malfeasance and misfeasance in office, which are indictable offenses.

I am so sick of this guy, and I'm not alone. I predicted that he's the one who's going to pay the prison price.

Whole thing is a lie. People need to pay a serious price for starting and continuing this charade on a lie against a duly elected president. It'll never happen. The best you will get is Détente.
