During the hearing, Senator Susan Collins asked Comey if he had shown copies of his memos to anyone outside of the Justice Department.
Comey replied, yes, saying he made the decision to do so after President Trump tweeted about possible audio recordings the day after he was fired.
However, that information seems to be inaccurate, because the memo was leaked to the New York Times May 11th and President Trump tweeted on the 12th.
Comey said he hoped to benefit from that leak.

Where’s the “Like” button when you need it!
Even if he asked for loyalty stfu, he deserves it! The Won had it!
Compared with others in power, and with the press, Comey is a choirboy, clean as the driven snow. Seriously. On a comparative scale. They all admit it. The Senate panel members all asserted that Comey is honest and honorable, and on their scale of bad <--> good, Comey scores at the "good" end.
So he is in the clear.
That's my understanding, too. OANN may have stepped in it with this article.
Do a tangled web we weave, when we are well practiced to deceive?
“...How do we know that they weren’t written later to cover his *ss?...”
Exactly.....
Comey is a weird dude. He had no problem with the muzzie brotherhood infiltrating the whitehouse. No investigation. Nothing. But a patriotic president(Trump) arrives and he feels awkward, bullied, and writes memos and then leaks them. Unbelievable. Does our great nations National Security not mean a damn thing to these weird elitists reptilian scumbags.
“The swampthings would rather destroy the nation than cede power.”
Many of them appear to be like Obama — they want to destroy the country. It’s not a sacrifice they are willing to make. It’s the whole point of their being in power.

You must have heard a different McCain. The hearing and Comey’s statements were about Russian influences and McCain was talking about Hillary’s emails... You could see the consternation on Comey’s face when he kept trying to steer McCain back to the subject...Couldn’t help but wonder what Outnumbered was going to cover if they got back on the air after the hearing was adjourned - what would Megan McCain think about her dad’s mumblings or would it not come up out of courtesy to his daughter but I don’t think it came on.

“”Sen. John McCain, the last senator to question the former FBI director, pursued a line of questioning connecting the Russian meddling investigation to Hillary Clintons emails, leaving much of the public confused.
The Arizona Republican repeatedly juxtaposed Comeys public announcements about conclusions in the probe of Clintons private email server with the ongoing nature of the look into whether there was any Trump campaign collusion with the Kremlin.
I think theres a double standard there to tell you the truth, he said.””
“”What I was trying to get at was whether Mr. Comey believes that any of his interactions with the President rise to the level of obstruction of justice.””
Then that’s what you should have asked, John - even tho’ the question had already been asked by others and answered by Comey. Get to the point or is that impossible in DC?
I could be mistaken, but I believe perjury requires that the lie be material.
I’m not sure Comey’s lie is material to what the Senate was investigating.
....and these same people think that what they are doing IS destroying the country. Muh Russia. Leaks. Etc.
May 11. New York Times publishes article providing Comey's version of events regarding private dinner with President Trump.OANN's timeline doesn't hold up.May 12. President Trump writes the "tapes" tweet.
May 16. New York Times publishes first article on the leaked Comey memo.
> >What I’d like to know is when did President Trump find out that Comey was the leaker in the FBI?< <
That’s why he cleared out the room.
And that’s why Comey admitted his crime- he knew he was caught.
My last link disappeared - this is it...
That will never change.....well until a Democrat is in office. They know today Trump was vindicated but the truth doesn’t matter. Trump just needs to roll with his agenda. He is in God’s protective hands.
It was obvious to he made that up he’s a lying sack and a political hack.
