The memo that no one has seen, the memo thAt could have been written the day after he was fired, the memo that there is no way of knowing if it even accurate, no way of know when it was written or even accurate. That memo? But I can seen your Trump hate is strong. Oh and Comey was asked if anyone in the administration put pressure on him to drop the investigation not just DOJ, but hey I guess Trump isn't part of his administration.....

Regardless of the authenticity of the memo, the given contents of the memo aren't what is being claimed.

So, I'm not really sure why this is pretending to be a story still.


What are you basing that on?
My guess is he's basing on what is quoted in the memo, because no where in it does say drop the investigation or does he even really ask for it to be dropped. He simple asked can you see fit to drop it... Plus another guess would be that Comey flat out said under oath no Trump or anyone in the admin asked them to drop it, a week before the supposed memo even came out. So either Comey fabricated the memo or he lied under oath to Congress and the American people... But why would we ever believe him, or Clapper both have been caught in the recent past lying to Congress...
First, we haven't seen the memo. Second, Comey was asked about the justice dept pressuring him, not just anyone.
The memo that no one has seen, the memo thAt could have been written the day after he was fired, the memo that there is no way of knowing if it even accurate, no way of know when it was written or even accurate. That memo? But I can seen your Trump hate is strong.

Look - I'm sympathetic to the argument that the memo hasn't been released yet so we don't know exactly what it says.  But if you think Comey wouldn't have taken some basic steps to allow these memos to be authenticated at a later date you're a fool.  It would be ridiculously easy to do that to a standard that would pass muster in front of any jury in the country - and the article already states that he circulated copies to some of his senior staff.

If the memo exists, it doesn't mean what he wrote was true.  Peppering the files with CYA spin memos is standard practice when you think you might be fired.

Sure.  It's all going to come down to who has more credibility* if it comes down to a "he said / he said" situation.  Of course, if Trump made similar "requests" to other agency heads then it turns into "he said / all these other guys said".

*credibility to the average American, not necessarily who Arfcom likes best...

And again who has seen the memo, we have no proof none. Even the guy who leaked hasn't seen it. And even if it could be authenticated to have been written before he was fired there is still absolutely no way to proven it is accurate to what was said in the room. It is still he said he said, it would not be admissable  in court. There is no proof of any of the allegations against Trump none that has been seen by Congress or the American people... Which is different when it comes to Holder, Hillary and Obama's crimes that proof has been all over.

Or he filled out a regular 302 and uploaded it into Sentinel (which would capture the date/time). Or he had it dated / witnessed by another agent. Or it sealed and logged into evidence (capturing the date and time).  Or he emailed it to an associate via secure email (creating a log of the date time).  Or some combination of these methods. Nah I'm sure the FBI Director did it in some manner that could easily be picked apart by some low-information type on Arfcom between customers at the Jiffy Lube.

If you believe that, sure.  Comey just randomly perjured himself to protect Trump.  Makes total sense.

Or he either:

A) Was answering the question that was asked about whether he ever received an order from DOJ to stop the investigation, or;
B) He felt Trump made inappropriate comments, was certainly trying to meddle in the investigation, but did it in a ham-fisted*, inept way that didn't actually affect the investigation and it wasn't an "order" to close the investigation.

Either/Both satisfy the story that was reported here (minus the headline) as well as Comey's testimony.  No purjury required.

*tiny, tiny little ham-fists

Or, he ignored all the appropriate protocol just because..........is that what you mean Hell, from all appearances he is no stranger to playing fast and loose with the rules...........things like insisting on having at the very least a stenographer during a high profile interrogation, allowing potential witnesses destroy their hard drives, making determinations of guilt without ever presenting to a grand jury, yeah, he probably just followed protocol.

You people still swallowing the media bullshit?

Trump is President because the Republican parties in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin ran strenuous GOTV efforts.
As any professional politician will tell you without an effective GOTV effort no candidate has a chance. See the 2012 Romney "Project ORCA" debacle.

Or perhaps you think it's a coincidence that the Michigan party chair was elevated to RNC chair.

Trump had to put together an independent GOTV effort in Ohio, because the state party did nothing on the instruction of the Governor.
That cost the Ohio party chair his job. While you weren't looking he was replaced with a Trump ally.

I agree with you that documenting an event is the smart thing to do to CYA - especially if you're dealing with someone who has a...complicated...relationship with the truth like Trump. I disagree with your editorialization that it involves "spin" without more evidence.

Yup, on the 3rd I think.

Although Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) didn’t specifically ask about Trump in the question she posed to Comey, the inquiry was about whether or not he had experienced having a higher authority stop an FBI investigation.
“So if the Attorney General or senior officials at the Department of Justice opposes a specific investigation, can they halt that FBI investigation?” Hirono asked.
“In theory yes,” Comey answered.
“Has it happened? Hirono asked.
“Not in my experience,” Comey responded. “Because it would be a big deal to tell the FBI to stop doing something that — without an appropriate purpose.”
“I mean where oftentimes they give us opinions that we don’t see a case there, and so you ought to stop investing resources in it,” Comey said. “But I’m talking about a situation where we were told to stop something for a political reason, that would be a very big deal.

Yup, on the 3rd I think.

Although Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) didn’t specifically ask about Trump in the question she posed to Comey, the inquiry was about whether or not he had experienced having a higher authority stop an FBI investigation.
“So if the Attorney General or senior officials at the Department of Justice opposes a specific investigation, can they halt that FBI investigation?” Hirono asked.
“In theory yes,” Comey answered.
“Has it happened? Hirono asked.
“Not in my experience,” Comey responded. “Because it would be a big deal to tell the FBI to stop doing something that — without an appropriate purpose.”
“I mean where oftentimes they give us opinions that we don’t see a case there, and so you ought to stop investing resources in it,” Comey said. “But I’m talking about a situation where we were told to stop something for a political reason, that would be a very big deal.
“It’s not happened in my experience,” Comey said.

POTUS is not the AG or a senior official at DOJ.

The "higher authority" language is from whatever article this was from, and was not part of Hirono's question or Comey's response...
