Former FBI Director James Comey may have lied under oath during his congressional hearing yesterday.
In the hearing, Comey explained that he had a friend reveal the contents of a memo (detailed notes of his private conversation with Trump) because of comments Trump posted to Twitter on May 12.
The problem is that the New York Times (the source to which Comey leaked his memo) published an article with information suspiciously accurate to his memo on May 11.

MAY 11 NYT reports that two Comey associates leaked information about a one-on-one dinner between Trump and Comey in which Trump asked for Comeys loyalty. The article makes no mention of a memo, but contains information about the private conversation so detailed that it would be weird if it werent derived from a memo written by Comey after the dinner. It makes little sense that associates of Comey would remember the verbiage of the conversation with such detail, and then independently leak that verbiage without any direction from Comey himself, particularly when Comey admitted that he was willing to make such leaks only a week later.
May 12 Trump tweets that Comey had better hope there werent recordings of the dinner that would go against the quotes in the May 11 NYT article. That tweet makes a whole lot more sense now that Comey was leaking. Trump was saying to Comey: I know youre the leak, and I might have recordings of our actual conversation that will prove that youre lying.
Somewhere in between May 12-May 16 Comey, according to Comey, wakes up in the middle of the night and feels the sudden need to leak a memo from February to the NYT.

Would not be surprised.
May?
I wouldn't be either, but this will go down as "memory slip, I testified to the best of my recollection."
So! Nothing will happen to Comey because the Trump Administration is totally unable to prosecute. Trump has to order the DOJ to immediately set up a special prosecutor to get Comey. Won’t do it!
Anyway, Comey will simply say he got the date wrong. "Ooops, sorry"
"No reasonable prosecutor" would charge Hillary. THAT was ALSO a lie!!!
It would be easy enough to subpoena the personal and business e-mail records of all who may have been involved in this.
So what you're saying is that there isn't any more evidence that the Comey memo was leaked prior to President Trump's "tapes" tweet than there is that President Trump colluded with the Russians.
It may be true that the NYT had the Comey memo on May 11, but you need evidence before you make these allegations. Keep digging for the evidence. Until then, as recent events have shown us, a healthy skepticism is warranted.

Congress does not hold “hearings” to hear anything. These are staged events, nothing more than political theater. A show for the folks back home to make it appear like their reps are important. They are a complete waste of time and never produce any actionable results or hold anyone accountable for anything.

Ya Think!
Commey is a sociopath For them lying is part of the manipulation they use to control their environment. Trump was very close when he labeled him “Nutcase”.
If he ever loses that control he will be dangerous to himself and others! Beware !

Agree. These are meant to reinforce why we need them, more than come to a realistic conclusion on anything. the big fish here is they know “ we “ have been spied on, and that info is used for political purposes, but “ they” want us to believe that the true intent is protecting us...
B.S. Edward Snowden and Julian Assange, call them traitors but they have exposed “ the wizards of OZ”
So if he lied about that, perhaps he lied about Trump not being in cahoots with the Russuans too. No way to win here unless WE write the narritive and refuse to accept the Dem position. Banish them to obscurity.
So... if Trump tweeted on May 12
but the NYT published on the 11th
that means it was leaked on the 10th or before
So 2 whiny leakers identified in one week. What a great week!
Who else could claim to know what was said besides Comey ?
