MTP Guest on Comey "Leaking" His Memos

Didn't catch his name, but this NSA guy said that:

1. As Comey's notes were taken as part of his job as director, and

2. as they were intended to be shared with FBI employees,

that the notes were no longer his personal notes, but, rather, FBI property.

That said, he said there was no criminal "leak" of the notes by Comey. The only thing that may be asserted was that he did not follow the usual protocol of seeking clearance from the necessary government agency to publish the notes before revealing their content.

The Trumps will do anything to evade and distract from the issue.... certainly acting out their guilt.

ever in his life when the truth hurt him.

Not once, not ever.

The truth does hurt him 98% of the time, so that is that.

And think about it, Comey saved Trump from a LOT of further embarrassment about 'the tapes'.

He wrote a separate narrative after he was fired, and provided that.

Is the NSA guy claiming that the FBI is like J. Peterman on Seinfeld, who buys Kramer's stories, and then forbids Kramer from ever telling them again from memory?



Comey outmaneuvers these shitbags eight ways to Sunday.

Good question - would check.

How do you know he didn't share memos?
