With Ominous Tweet, Comey Pal Suggests Bombshell Story Is Soon To Drop
dailycaller.com ^ | 6/23/17 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 06/23/2017 1:44:29 PM PDT by ColdOne

Wittes wrote on Twitter that the upcoming story could be published later Friday or on Monday. The heads-up comes a day after Trump revealed that he was bluffing last month when he suggested that he had recorded his conversations with Comey.

May 16 appears to be his first time Wittes previewed Comey stories.

Hours after Wittes posted the foreboding message that day, The Times published a shocking story: “Comey Memo Says Trump Asked Him To End Flynn Investigation.”

The piece cited a memo that Comey filed just after a Feb. 14 meeting he had with Trump at the White House. In the meeting, Comey claimed that Trump asked him to back off of an investigation into Michael Flynn, the retired lieutenant general who Trump had fired as national security adviser the previous day.

Wittes was not the source of the memo. Columbia law school professor Daniel Richman, another friend of Comey’s, shared the document with The Times after being provided a copy by the former FBI chief.

Richman has since given the memos to the FBI.

Wittes tweeted a series of “ticks” two days later, on May 18. Wittes was an on-the-record source for that article, also written by Times reporter Michael S. Schmidt.

It’s the American people who are tired of all this foolishness. It’s getting very old.

first of all.. that never happened.

2nd of all.. it doesn’t matter if it did. The president is perfectly within his rights to choose to investigate or not investigate, prosecute or not prosecute anyone he wishes including illegal alien “dreamers”

period.

So? President Trump has the authority to end any investigation he chooses. He can fire the FBI Chief Attorney General. Pardon Flynn and end any investigation he wants. Personally I would have fired Coma the first day..

They are not memos.They are Comeys’ version of his personal thoughts. I write memos to my wife telling her that she id the prettiest woman in the room.

Indeed! Things are not looking so good for J. Edgar Comey.

Hmmm....let’s see.
He spent three hours at the NY Times
He is holding his memo’s hostage

I’d say he, being the dramatic soul that he is, is going to release all his memo’s and NY Times is going to publish them.

Just a thought. He’s a Snowden wannabe.

This is the best the MSM can do to offset the potential landmines of Podesta and Lynch testifying next week...

My best guess on this revelation is related to Flynn. There seems to be a lot of chatter about him right now with at least one Senator saying the evidence he has seen suggests Flynn has flipped.

Not sure he means “official” evidence..more like circumstantial putting pieces together evidence.

Whether the memo is real or not, since Comey wrote it to himself, it could easily been nothing more than mental masturbation on his part. It proves nothing.

Is it an illegally obtained copy of a memo? A government memo? I hope there aren’t tapes!

I wonder if Comey ever did on the streets work like following people. He couldn't blend in...except maybe drapes

Look for info on the television interview from Senator Whitehouse. He also mentions EDVA subpoenas that are one hop from Flynn ..( Rocket Docket.)
