Burr says the "burden is on the New York Times" to produce the memos, not on Comey. Says there may be an effort to undermine the president.

I rarely get enraged over politics, but this does the job. I would LOVE for the IC to get those memos to the NYT.

[Y2Kev]

Is that Monica's apartment

 

[cartoon_soldier]

And it sounds like Comey is ready to go hand deliver it.

I really think this is it. Trump fucked with the wrong man in Comey.

Does Comey still have the memos?

We don't know what happened to his files once he was fired.

I would be shocked if there weren't any copies he kept

 

[sangreal]

I mean, NYT probably will have the memos by end of business day.

Yup. They're not even classified

 

[benicillin]

Wasn't Comey literally fired a week ago at this same time? It feels like a month.

 

[Oblivion]

Surely he would provide backups knowing the kind of fuckery Trump and his minions would try to pull.

The memo was read to the NYT. Do you think someone at the FBI just has an eidetic memory?

In a Trump timeline, it's better to not think about time in a normal sense, think about it more like it's a flat circle.

Omg Roseanne is back

CNN has a source with the memo as well, they confirmed it.

Comey wants to go public

---> @KenDilanianNBC just reported that Comey "plans to go public" about the memos he kept from his meetings with Trump.

[teiresias]

LMAO at Burr wanting the press to basically "leak" to prove their info. The GOP needs to make up their mind with whether leaking is ok or not.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Tapper on CNN just said that some of the memos are out there with some of the public. They are not all in the FBI building.

Good point.

[nature boy]

From the failing NYT article:

Mr. Comey created similar memos — including some that are classified — about every phone call and meeting he had with the president, the two people said. It is unclear whether Mr. Comey told the Justice Department about the conversation or his memos.

Drip drip drip...

 

[cartoon_soldier]

WaPo confirms with more details

https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...9_story.html?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.8a7a56d7ef27

Comey’s written account of the meeting is two pages long and highly detailed, the associates said. The details of Comey’s notes of the meeting were first reported by The New York Times.

 

[Poodlestrike]

And now this new Comey thing jesus Christ it NEVER ENDS

I'd almost believe that it WAS a Gish Gallop except that it all ties back into the same fucking stuff.

Burgess Everett @burgessev
New detail: President Trump called @JohnCornyn and asked him to consider FBI job

I know we all get tired of saying/hearing this. But can you even begin to fathom the reaction, had Hillary fired Comey to stop the email investigation and tried to replace him with Nancy Pelosi? It is literally unfathomable.

To me, this is Trump's Sandy Hook moment. Once the Newtown thing happened it became clear, if 20 dead children won't sway Republicans on gun control in this country, nothing will.

Now we have a president who fires the guy investigating his Russia connections, then leaks intel to the Russains. This is officially it. If the Republicans don't care about this, there's no reason to think they'll care about anything. He might as well make the Oval Office a Miss Teen USA dressing room for more convenient p-grabbing. Absolutely nothing matters at this point.

I would argue that Sandy Hook was the Republican's Sandy Hook moment. The line in the sand where the question was clear: personal gain or people's lives? Children's lives?

They chose that avoiding pissing off the gun lobby was more important to them, demonstrating clear and present moral cancer.

They gave Joy own her show and then demoted her. And what makes them think that Joy wouldn't shit on Trump just as much as Lawrence does? MSNBC is trying to turn into CNN lite.

Fox Lite more like. I gave them the benefit of the doubt when they were just hiring ex-Fox women (because hey, they were well recognized personalities probably looking to flee the company after the Ailes mess broke), but at this point it's become clear that they're more interested in chasing the conservative news unicorn than anything else. Even making money, which is fucking bizarre.

This Comey face turn is amazing.



I need a polling outfit to run a "Which is worse: Leaking classified information to foreign entities or leaking to the press?" poll.

Tweet it at PPP.

This is enough to take him down with obstruction of justice charges, and the IC can bring those forward without Congress if I'm not mistaken.

Pretty sure no? President is basically unjailable barring impeachment.

When democrats get back in power (and, at this rate, they will soon) they need to go all out. Pass everything they want however they can. Republicans had power and used it to not only give all favor to the rich but also ignored blatant crimes by the president. Democrats need to throw all semblance of mutual respect for republicans out the window.

Yep. They need to burn all of the bridges at they have for the GOP. It is clear that the GOP is clearly not in it for Americans in general with all the stuff they are doing.

Hear hear. We need a full legislative slate ready to get voted on and signed January 21st, 2021. No commentary, no debates, and certainly no GOP amendments.

Hmmmmmmm

Note that the FBI would typically have a memo documenting key points discussed in a meeting with someone implicated in an inquiry.

The most important unanswered question right now: why is Trump so willing to risk his presidency to help Michael Flynn?

 

[kirblar]

Hmmmmmmm



Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The answer to #2 is simple: Trump is a stupid narcissist.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Lindsay Graham has invited Comey to testify publicly

 

[Kusagari]

Trump is weirdly loyal to people he likes. I don't think there's any thing more to him trying to get Flynn off than he liked Flynn. Whatever wrong doings he did be damned.

 

[whyamihere]

Hmmmmmmm



Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Oh.

 

[metalslimer]

The comey notes will be the new Nixon tapes

 

[Poodlestrike]

It's like Watergate played at 2x speed on a VCR so everyone sounds like a chipmunk.

Trump is weirdly loyal to people he likes. I don't think there's any thing more to him trying to get Flynn off than he liked Flynn. Whatever wrong doings he did be damned.

I mean, he's loyal right up until the moment that it costs him anything personally. We have very clearly passed that point.

 

[benicillin]

It just so happens that the only people he likes are all related to Russia. He's let everyone else dangle in the wind except Russians and Russian associates. Strange coincidence!

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Fucking MSNBC giving show to Greta

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I don't even know what is going on right now.

 

[chadskin]

This is it.

 

[sangreal]

eh, there is a whole cast of russian plants he has thrown under the bus

Trump really is known to be a loyal guy though, and we have learned that he values and demands loyalty from everyone he associates with too

I think he mostly sticks by Flynn because it wasn't his choice to fire him and he can't admit to being wrong

 

[Diablos]

Comey went full on "If I'm going down I'm taking you fuckers with me" mode.

Why not. He has nothing to lose

 

[teiresias]

This is it.

Are you increasingly nervous? How many times this year?

 

[Ernest]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Gabriel Snyder @gabrielsnyder

I honestly don't think there's anything more to that than just plain stupidity.
Flynn had Trump's back during the election, so Trump thought he could do whatever he wanted to help Flynn. That's what makes the most sense; ego and stupidity.

*edit:

The answer to #2 is simple: Trump is a stupid narcissist.

Yes, this

 

[smokeandmirrors]

so

when's the wall getting built

 

[daedalius]

This is it.

The shit is inbound to the fan!!!

 

[Oblivion]

This is it.

Nice to see you too, Increasingly Nervous Man.

edit: Goddamn it, tereisius!

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

I dont believe Trump is intelligent enough to cover Flynn over some grand conspiracy, i think its just a thing where Flynn was nice to him and was loyal during the election so he wanted to try and help him.

Also probably stupid enough to think that he could just ask Comey to stop the investigation and he would do it without question because hes the president.

I don't see Trump getting impeached, but with the talk of a shake-up, and how horrible this week has been......I'm not sure what the next week or two have in store.

 

[thepotatoman]

That on top of having absolutely no respect for the systems that keep the president in check.

 

[whyamihere]

@rachaelmbade
I just asked @DarrellIssa abt the Comey news and he flicked me off -- literally gave me the middle finger -- and kept walking. Said nothing

ass.

Oh, now liberals want Comey to speak about an ongoing investigation in public.

 

[Vimes]

Just saw Senator Risch on PBS, what an absolute scum fucker.

"sharing intelligence with our allies is normal, also the person who leaked this story to the wapo is a traitor to the country"

Yeah, Russia. Great ally.

Republicans constantly proving there are ways they can make me hate them more.

 

[Aaron Strife]

ass.

He knows his number just got drawn along with like 50 other House Rs next year, dude had the closest race last year.

 

[Teggy]

I think Huckabee is broken. His jokes right now are even more terrible than usual.

 

[Plinko]

ass.

Oh man this is amazing. These clowns are going to stick by him no matter what and they'll all lose as a result.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

What are the odds Trump just doesn't return from his international trip?

This is why I don't see Trump getting impeached. It doesn't seem like Republicans are going to wait til the ship is sinking. They're going to ride it out all the way to the bottom of the ocean.
