Fox news asked an interesting question, Why did Comey wait so long to disclose his memo on President Trump's alleged request to drop the Flynn investigation. We only have his word of "honor" (and using that term in connection to Comey.... well) that the conversation took place. http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/FBI-director-memo-James-Comey/2017/05/16/id/790553/?ns_mail_uid=63131763&ns_mail_job=1731337_05172017&s=al&dkt_nbr=zhwzkc1d If you all may remember, he had no problems using his "memos" and such as a weapon against President Bush.... It is interesting. All conversations in the Oval Office is tapped, I wonder if those tapes will be released for the day the supposed conversation took place. Keep in mind, under the law, Comey was required to immediately inform the Department of Justice of any attempt to obstruct justice by any person, even the President of the United States. (18 USC 4 and 28 USC 1361). But he did not, he held on to the information until after he was terminated.

So.... is Comey a liar? Was his memo a CYA action?

It's very simple: While Comey was still employed by the FBI, he had strict protocols to follow - which included not exposing details of ongoing investigations. His memo's were potentially part of the investigation, until he was no longer employed at the FBI - where upon they became personal papers. He didn't reveal the memo's because he COULDN'T.

Of course it was a lie.Comey is a demorat and all demorats lie.If it had happened wasn't Comey breaking the law for not disclosing it

immediately ?

Comey's actions are all progressive liberal jihadist by design...all that has happened is the wind blew him off of the Clinton tight rope...so now he's in lying beast mode...to cover his conniving and treachery against America...

Specious reasoning; they weren't Comey's papers during any investigation and they will never be Comey's papers. They belong to the U. S. Government as part of an investigation, whether current or completed and the rules of disclosure apply without limit, no matter who generated the information.

If that information had any level of classification then Comey has committed a serious crime, in revealing the memo. The security laws are clear, once the individual is read into the classification program he can never reveal classified information, to anyone without the necessary clearance and the need to know. They are not Comey's private property and he has obstructed Justice by revealing this alleged contact, particularly since the investigation is allegedly ongoing.

Comey is not the one making statements, it is coming from FBI agents who have seen the documents.

I agree, he could not release information outside of his chain of command. This brings me back to the question.... why did he not talk to his "superiors" about this? If our President try to coerce him into letting Flynn of the hook, this would have been considered interference and his supervisors would, under SOP been kept in the loop. Apparently he kept his supervisors well informed on other issues... why not something so important as this? I would like to read the memo.... I would also be interested in the WH tapes, because everything said in the Oval Office is recorded.

I don't believe ANYTHING Comey has to say!! He backs Hillary!!!

Bevos

EXACTLY!!!

His superior, Sessions, he is worse than trump.

I am inclined to agree with you, he did protect K**lary! Those documents will be interesting to read, but I guess we will need to wait for 50 years for them to be declassified.

Comey's memos in the actions of doing his job are not his personal papers, so why make up a lie to defend Comey's not adhering to and enforcing the law.

A President requesting an unlawful action is a completely seperate case than an investigation into supposed Russian e******n i**********e, and Russian supposed collusion with a political campaign, or an investigation of treason with a person (General Flynn) with a very high security clearance, given to him by the Obama administration, well after that person supposedly committed those treasonous crimes.

You have the liberal sickness that no Democrat can commit a crime, or anyone involved in enhancing liberal goals, policies, or agendas, which to liberals is crimeless, and it's called a double standard sickness, that results in a dual justice system, which we had under Obama and his administration.

Comey not only could have revealed his memo, the law requires him to do just that when a possible crime has been committed, but he didn't. Why? Was he hoping to use it as "Black Mail" against President Trump, to keep his job (was fired before he could use it), or get what he wanted from President Trump sometime in the future.

It seems that Comey was doing precisely what the Democrats claim that the Russians were going to do to General Flynn, "Black Mail" a person in a high federal government office, the office of the DNS by the Russians, and the office of the President by Comey.

Are you liberals going to stay poor losers forever? Does President Trump becoming successful for the benefit of the American people scare you that much? Why are you trying to keep the American people, that made Donald Trump our President, from getting the promises fulfilled that they elected President Trump for. Your candidate and her promises they rejected, and want what President Trump promised them instead. So why not grow up and allow the American people to get what President Trump promised them?

It's yet another smokescreen to deflect attention away from the loony-lefty-criminality. That noose around their necks is being drawn inexorably tighter and tighter.
