It is possible the memo exists and the conversation happened, but that Comey did not think it constituted obstruction, because it didn't.
If the president expressed regret that Flynn was being persecuted for nothing and hoped that the matter could be dropped, that's not obstruction.
Ethan Murphy
Has comey himself confirmed this memo to be true. Last I heard it was 2 anonymous sources claiming it exists
Liam Sullivan
Exactly.
So it's either nothing, or Comey broke the law.
Luis Collins
I haven't seen anything besides anonymous sources. OP is a little wrong.
Jaxon Gomez
Keep in mind that the Times didn't even see the actual memo - their "source" read it to them aloud.
So the "source" could have literally just made it up.
Eli Peterson
This won't get reported on the media. They'll find a new angle of attack and blow it up to absurd proportions and have every blue checkmark on Twitter talking about how it's impeachable.
Ayden Lewis
Even so, firing Comey isn't obstruction of justice because Comey leaving does not mean that they need to stop the investigation. Democrats act like it was Comey doing all the work by himself.
Isaiah Russell
Yeah, Comey is fucked. But , this is all based on a NY Times reporter that wrote the wiretapping article who received the information from an "unnamed" associate of Comey over the phone when NOBODY has seen these memos.
Here, i'll press this.
Jacob Barnes
If it exists, Comey wrote down the conversation but didn't think Trump was trying to tell him to end the investigation. If you read what it supposedly says it sounds like Trump just lamenting the situation and hoping it would end and Flynn wouldn't get in any trouble. If Comey didn't report anything it's cause he didn't feel pressured.
Brody Young
>he is required to IMMEDIATELY report it
this. if he heard that from Trump and only took notes, what was his intention with that information? blackmail?
#SeditiousConspiracy
Landon Sanchez
Comey was arrogant and self absorbed in his illusions of grandeur, he thought that he could keep covering up for Clinton and Democrap crimes.
The memos are fake imo but we have until May 24th according to House Oversight cmte.
But Trump has tapes so Evidence > Memory
Ayden Roberts
Comey isn't fucked. If the memo is real he just has to say that He felt Trump wasn't instructing him to end the investigation but just commenting on how he hopes Flynn doesn't end up in jail.

Jacob Richardson
I's only true if the WP or NYT reports it.
Christopher Russell
Maybe he already has I mean do you workfor the DOJ
Joshua Garcia
If you are correct then why would Comey make his claims now? He's to smart to think anyone would fall for "I didn't think it was obstruction then but I do now".
Noone knows what's Comey thinking. Maybe he and his friends never talked to the press at all. Maybe they found some memos in Comeys office after they fired him, and decided to fuck with the media.
Who knows?
Ian Nelson
>firmed this memo to be true. Last I This (((memo))) had one purpose.
To build up more pseudo tension regarding Trump, at which point it would force the DOJ to appoint a special prosecutor.
The memo will be drowned out now that Mueller is on the case.

Keep trying to obfuscate the issue, Ruskie cumguzzler. Point of fact: Trump committed obstruction of justice. He's got to go. Vote for the next kompromised pervert, if that's your kind of candidate, but stop trying to act like this shit isn't real.
Jackson Watson
>If the FBI director thinks somebody is trying to obstruct an investigation, he is required to IMMEDIATELY report it to the DOJ. Source on this?

Comey had to make it but also knew that the DOJ was completely corrupt and would use it to destroy Trump in a manner reminiscent of the politics of 3rd world shitholes
Dominic Sullivan

Camden Moore
I feel bad for him.
Trump told him to keep quiet so he would not be lynched over this, But the Media Crusaded it as a WHAT IS TRUMP HIDING???? Now Comey is fucked when Trump was just trying to give him an out.
Landon Baker
See here's the thing. Comey hasn't claimed shit. This is all from WaPo citing an anonymous source over the phone. Plus it's not classified. So WHERE THE FUCK IS IT???
Bentley Adams
I think Hannity laid it out last night.
Zachary Williams
Comey's disappeared. He's been completely silent, it's the MSM claiming that an anonymous associate of Comey read him a memo that Comey allegedly wrote and showed to said anonymous associate before archiving or w/e. Comey's probably gone into hiding as shit starts to go down
Carson Allen
It most likely doesn't exist. If it does, Comey will say Trump wasn't obstructing justice and that is why he never brought the matter forward.
Nolan Foster
Something about being complicit if a federal officer know a law was broken and kept quiet. It's similar to how people get charged with accessory.

Lucas Allen
Redpill:. Comey and Trump are working together.
Comey isn't stupid enough to leak a non-issue memo that contradicts his sworn testimony. He did that so he would be subpoenaed to confirm Trump never obstructed, confirm other memos of Obama and Hillary exist, be forced to hand them over. It leaves Trump scot free, gets Comey free pass to share memos without looking like a snitch to Clintons, and start real swamp draining.
Ian Powell
This is all working out according to God's design. I am so thankful that Trump has heard God's call. Deus Vult!
Luke Rivera
I like this theory.
Oliver Peterson
Only with concrete evidence. Sup Forums and republicans would say Trump was only kidding, he always talks like that.
He gave Trump enough rope to hang himself. It's probably why the investigation didn't go away. I feel like Comey didn't initially believe there was anything there.
Christopher Howard
What is keeping someone from writing a fake memo right now?
Some retard can write a memo saying all kinds of stuff, date it whatever date they want, and then just stamp Comey's name on it (or have Comey sign it himself)
How do you prove when something was written or typed
inb4 word document - like that wouldn't be easy to put a different file creation date on
Joseph Flores
So that's the key. Comey committed a crime by not reporting obstruction, if he thought it was.
The media and democrats don't understand the law.
They prove themselves to be hysterical losers over and over again.
The memo doesn't even exist, and wait amd see; Trump "leaked" the memo to damage the media and make his enemies look like lunatics. He's done it before and he'll keep outplaying them.
Angel Campbell
This. Comey was called to testify before Congress this past Tues and declined. He's not saying shit. I think the memo exists and some deep state anti-Trumper in the FBI saw it after Comey's firing. They saw an opportunity where it could be taken out of context/interpreted a certain way so they leaked it. Comey isn't clarifying the MSM because he's a political hack. But when push comes to shove and he testifies, he'll say that Trump never told him to squash investigation.
It's really the reason Comey was fired. He's told Trump privately that he's not under investigation, but he refuses to do it publicly, hiding behind the "ongoing investigation" line. He's politically compromised and had to go.
Bentley Stewart
Comey needs to be drawn and quartered
Gabriel Bell
>Colbert audience doesn't know whether to cheer or boo Comey getting fired.

Jose Gomez

Rosenberg doesn't think it was obstruction Trump did not fire Comey to halt the Russian investigation Flynn is a red herring; his investigation is entirely irrelevant to Trump's
Eli Brown

Oliver Walker
Because it's not really obstruction just casually talking about the case and the president expressing that he thinks it's a goose chase is not an obstruction.
It's like y'all niggas never been around lawyers and judges they throw around heir personal feelings about cases all the time
AND it's not even a criminal investigation, hard to obstruct justice when there is no justice to obstruct
Owen Price
Yep and this would be justification for his firing and us getting president pence. Its funny you know not a single liberal I know actually wants Trump to be impeached because they are all scared to death of Pence. This is just a game for the media trying to tare down Trump's approval so they can get their socialist candidate in the next election. Don't get me wrong I am not a Trump cultist but at the same time this is rightfully the media trying to play 4D chess against Trump and so far (((their))) plan is working because they have spun a narrative just like in Syria. To them all these allegations are now fact even though none of it has been proven and it is very unlikely to be true.
Adam Young
The MSM are cockroaches who need to be destroyed. They are a direct threat to our democracy
Owen Jenkins
Or it was fucking nothing and obstruction of justice never crossed his narrow mind, and he's trying to make Trump look bad, and the media took it and ran with it. He will testify, he won't share any ((((memos)))) to protect the real criminals in the previous administration, and nothing will happen.
Or, put another way, Comey didn't interpret Trump's comments as an infraction because if they had been, Comey, as dutiful servant of the law, would have immediately reported it. Comey's own actions, or lack thereof, are the best indicator of what happened and what was actually said.
Zachary Bennett
>something something if the memo is real etc
Ok - think about this:
1. Memo was never real. Comey knew that if he *had* a memo, it would stand up in court.
2. Comey reeeaaalllyy needs to fire back at Trump. I mean, Trump like...ASS RAPED him in public. Having a memo would be real helpful right about now...
3. Comey *makes up* that he has a memo. You know, because he's a compulsive liar. Who else would feel comfortable lying under oath, than a sociopath and/or compulsive liar?
4. If he's ever asked to produce the memo he made up that he had, HE'LL MAKE ONE AND SHOW IT TO THE COURT.
Shit, I'VE doctored official documents before. Not that fucking hard, especially when you print it on hard copy (leaves much less or no evidence it's not an original). I'm sure the former HEAD OF THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION can doctor, or knows someone who can doctor, up a memo in short order.

they can enter it into the public record to exonerate trump and damage the credibility of leakers
Jackson Sullivan
Perhaps he wasn't sure and was waiting for more evidence that supports the the idea that trump is trying to disrupt an investigation into matters that he's associated with. Evidence like him firing the head of that investigation.
Cooper Reyes
>Implying democracy isn't half of the problem Its just a tool made by the Jews to have a culture war to promote Marxism. I for one am ready to bring back monarchies where they expelled the kikes when they started doing this shit. Only democracy allows for subversion of our media and creation of these types of narratives brainwashing the people who live under it. Its time to go back to traditional forms of government that were able to cop with these problems.
Nathan Sullivan
Comey was never insinuating obstruction of justice, the media is. OP IS smart than the media.
Ian Hall
Trust me, as soon as it begins to get apparent that the Russian debacle is a dry well, they will already be forcing something else...or go to their trusty distraction of war. We have NK, Syria and Iran already on the operating table for John McCain to operate on.
Jordan Perez
An insider posted this: Comey was given certain information as were several others, possibly from Kissinger. He wanted out but could not resign for no reasons given. He worked out with Trump to be fired instead and they came up with cause. His firing was all staged. The memo leak then gave the Justice committee reason to demand all Comey memos related to meetings with Trump AND Obama, Lynch, etc. and the FBI must comply by May 24. This gives Comey cover from the really bad guys who MURDER Leakers that he did not disclose. Some say he is now in hiding and laying low while this unfolds. There was another motive to have the left now treat Comey like a hero because big bad Trump fired him. That gives him credibility with the CIA /Mossad owned Trump destroying media. Watch as this all unfolds-believe nothing you see happen for the surface. This criminal cabal strangling the world is evil to the core and very dangerous. It is a blackmailed nation. The louder someone is freaking out over Trump the more you know they are being blackmailed. Kiddy diddling is the main deep dark secret.
Wyatt Butler
This. Fuck democracy and equality
Oliver Ross
You are assuming he is taking sides , no one plays for a team they do what is best for them.
Maybe he was a pawn of the dems/Clintons and Trump knew and wanted him out instead of having a head of FBI screwing with him for 4 years.
Maybe he was a pawn because the dems/clintons had leverage and he wanted out, talked to Trump and asked him to get him out.
Maybe Trump is a russian pawn and the russians wanted Comey to fuck off because they couldn't get him to stop with the Trump- Russia thing.
There are so many posibilites but like always the story comes out and facts are figured out 1-2 months later , when the story is usually cold and no one cares much at that point.
You can see the media throwing even the kitchen sink at that Trump Russia thing + possible impeachment so who knows but like usual whatever does occure it won't really mean much because everything has weeks to get sorted out in reality.
Nicholas Butler
“Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”
Carson Rodriguez
It makes no sense of Comey to keep things secret within the FBI but talk freely amongst his friends.
Eli Jackson
Brilliant 12D chess thinking there, OP.
He wrote the memo. Several in fact. That's reporting it. It wasn't obstruction until he was canned. Get it?
Christopher Sanchez
If the conversation happened verabatim as Comey described, then Trump didn't even commit obstruction of justice.
Jonathan Williams
>And it was all a set up by Trump and Comey
Normally I'd believe something like that, but I think Comey is too corrupt to play ball for Trump.
Elijah Moore

Zachary Reed
You're a real facile mind, aren't you?
Comey was fired. He doesn't have access to FBI systems now. He is also *notorious* for documenting shit. He has *memos* of Trump interactions, shared with colleagues at the time of creation, on file now, waiting for the evidentiary hearing.
Be patient, little one. Evidence is coming. But it most certainly won't be in line with your claimed participation in document forgery - that's not how the federal filesystem works. There are audit trails for a reason, after all.
