FBI agents went to Comey’s house, retrieved secret memo written after his termination
FBI agents went to James Comey’s residence and retrieved a secret, previously unreported memo he drafted the night before the agents arrived, well after he was fired as FBI Director, according to bureau documents released Wednesday in response to a Freedom of Information Act request by the transparency group Judicial Watch.
Additionally, Comey told agents “spontaneously” that, to “the best of his recollection, two [memos] were missing,” according to the documents. A source familiar with the probe has confirmed to Fox News that the DOJ Inspector General’s office is reviewing whether Comey’s memos improperly contained classified information, among other matters.
Comey was fired on May 9, 2017, and on the morning of June 7, an FBI evidence log shows that Comey handed the agents four memos, dated February 14, 2017; March 30, 2017; April 11, 2017; and “last night at 6:30 pm.”
The next day, Comey admitted in congressional testimony that he had leaked memos purportedly documenting his contemporaneous recollections of his conversations with President Trump, through a friend, so that Special Counsel Robert Mueller would be appointed. Comey documented, for instance, that Trump allegedly demanded his loyalty, and said he hoped the FBI would let the Michael Flynn matter “go.”
C comes before D is not Coats. Coats was a minor dam in the river. C is Comey.
