Comey perjured himself here as well.
He said the memos were leaked in response to the tapes tweet.
The tapes tweet came out a day after the memo leak.
Glad you caught this timeline. And not a single Republican senator asked Comey how he knew about the “tapes tweet” before he leaked his memo. The chronology is askew and points to Comey’s delusions of grandeur.
His statement that the leak would trigger a special counsel is bogus. Why would Comey want to trigger a special counsel, after previously swearing three separate times that President Trump was in no way personally under investigation.
