The hits keep coming. The case for an obstruction of justice investigation into Trump is building one story after another. The latest is the revelation of a Comey memo that states Trump asked the FBI to end any investigation involving former national security adviser Michael Flynn. Apparently, former FBI director Comey kept a paper trail to document Trump’s attempts to halt the probe.

"Mr. Comey wrote the memo detailing his conversation with the president immediately after the meeting, which took place the day after Mr. Flynn resigned, according to two people who read the memo. The memo was part of a paper trail Mr. Comey created documenting what he perceived as the president’s improper efforts to influence a continuing investigation. An F.B.I. agent’s contemporaneous notes are widely held up in court as credible evidence of conversations."

Hmm.. it is damning, but it would have been better if the memo was written by a third party. A lot more impartial and credible that way.
 
BTW - all of Trump's staff that have been fired should all get together and write a tell-all book about what REALLY happened behind closed doors.



I can almost guarantee it would be a Best Seller.

The meeting was just with the two of them, no? But anyway, notes written *at the time* are pretty reliable in my opinion.

I guess the issue then would be how can we really know whether or not the notes were written 'at the time'.

I'm sure there's a standard way the FBI has for documenting that. As the Times article said, "An F.B.I. agent’s contemporaneous notes are widely held up in court as credible evidence of conversations."

For the record I trust Comey 100 times more than Trump, I'm just playing devil's advocate (for the lack of a better word), and want to make sure the case against Trump is air tight.
 
This story has an historic feel to it. Either sources within the FBI are playing our major media for fools in an unprecedented way or Trump’s presidency is now in mortal danger. (FBI sources have confirmed the contents of the Comey memo to The New York Times, the Washington Post and CNN). If the memo is accurate and Comey confirms he wrote it, Trump will have to tear down and shatter Comey’s credibility to save his presidency.
 
John Kasich and Bernie Sanders are agreeing a lot on cnn tonight. Both are making a lot of sense. Both are attacking parties and partisanship.
 
Couple of things to keep in mind regarding Trumps conversation with Kislyak and Lavrov.

First it's been reported that Israel was the source of the Intel, and the "leak" has put an undercover mossad agent in danger. Iran is an ally with Russia. Iran and Israel are arch enemies. This is bad.

Second, the idea that the president had the authority to disclose intel in whatever manner he wishes misses the point entirely. He also has the legal authority to declassify the nuclear launch codes and post them on twitter. That doesn't mean his *** wouldn't be dragged out of office over it. Impeachment is a political tool, not a law enforcement one.
