This doesn't sound like a means to preserve his memory of events. It sounds like a premeditated decision to manufacture evidence on the spot - the modern equivalent of a drop gun or of planting drugs on a suspect. The idea of the FBI director not keeping an electronic or paper copy of an accurate and critical memo he wrote is absurd.
That is exactly what it is. Comey is the lead of a conspiracy to impeach Trump. What they were angling for is to get him to interfere in the "investigation" of Flynn and the Russians. President Trump never took the bait. We know this for a fact, because the conspirators would have used it if it existed.
The plot came apart when President Trump fired Comey. They plotters were close, but weren't ready yet. When Comey was fired, it stopped their plot dead for a while. Everything since that event by the #ImpeachTrump crowd is an improvisation, and they decided to use Trump's firing of Comey as the actual "interference with the investigation." That's all they have left.
Comey's memo never existed before he was fired. It was an improvisation after the fact to manufacture evidence. This is the reason it does not exist on Comey's computers at the FBI, or in any law enforcement custody for evidence, or even the DOJ. It only became necessary when they had to improvise a new narrative, but by then Comey had lost access to the FBI computers and his office.
Whose premeditation, though? Comey’s, or someone else’s? There’s no way Comey fginned up this cluster foxtrot all on his lonesome, for a number of reasons.
“The idea of the FBI director not keeping an electronic or paper copy of an accurate and critical memo he wrote is absurd. “
No, its not absurd, it’s CRIMINAL! Prosecute him, and dismiss Mueller!
