| 2017-06-09 |
| [Free Beacon] Former FBI Director James Comey revealed Thursday that he provided excerpts of his memos to a friend with the understanding that they would be given to reporters. Comey told the Senate Intelligence Committee that after President Donald Trump tweeted that he might have "tapes" of their conversations, he realized his private memos might set the record straight. |

| #12 The Director of the FBI leaking a memorandum? WTF, maybe he is Pajama Boy having hot chocolate. Well, the hearings were a typical congressional circus, but they sure revealed the character of this ex (thank G-D)FBI director. |

| #11 His home and office should have been shuttered and put under armed guard as soon as he was discovered as the cut-out. All in all, it must suck to be Prof. Daniel Richman about now. |

| #9 I've never understood why memos would have any power. They could be fiction written who knows when as far as anybody knows. He should have written them up during the meeting and had Trump sign the memo. Then both get a copy. Then it might be worth something. |

| #6 So how long has Daniel Richman been at Columbia Law School? Was he there when Obama was supposedly there? Or does he "not remember" him either? |

| #4 "I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter," he said. "I didn't do it myself for a variety of reasons but I asked him to because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel." Snowflake pajama boy didn't deserve to be head of the FBI. No better than the DC snipers John Allen Muhammad and Malvo taking shots. He is a duplicitous weasel who is not to be trusted. |

| #3 One certainly has to wonder if this was the first Comey 'task' assigned to Prof. Richman ? I'm sure he wouldn't mind a discreet examination of his cellie, laptop, and bank account, just to clear the air. |

| #2 Of course politics didn't play a part - the idea of not supporting the Party to the best of his ability never even occurred. |
