The Justice Department released a statement on James Comey's testimony on Thursday that attempts to set the record straight on some of the former FBI director's remarks.
The statement focuses on a piece of Comey's testimony in which he claimed he was not aware of any memo saying that Attorney General Jeff Sessions would be recusing himself from any investigations into alleged links between the Trump campaign (of which he was a part) and Russian officials.
.."In his testimony, Mr. Comey stated that he was 'not *** aware of' 'any kind of memorandum issued from the Attorney General or the Department of Justice to the FBI outlining the parameters of [the Attorney General’s] recusal.," read the statement.
However, on March 2, 2017, the Attorney General’s Chief of Staff sent the attached email specifically informing Mr. Comey and other relevant Department officials of the recusal and its parameters, and advising that each of them instruct their staff “not to brief the Attorney General *** about, or otherwise involve the Attorney General *** in, any such matters described,” read the statement.

So the asshat who can project criminal conduct of obstruction by trump does not know something elimentary and fundamental about his job.
Means someone "snitched"...cuz the rule is....Don't ask a question that you don't know the answer to.
How is this significant to his testimony?
Hopefully, Sessions bashes here oh FR will read this as well.
Scooter Libby Alert
NAAAAHH!!
He's a Democrat shill.
He just misremembered or misspoke.
Problem with lying is you forget who you’ve lied to and which lie you told them.
(Oh, what a tangled web we weave... Sir Walter Scott)
We can hope!
Trump really needs to take out the trash. The commies tried to get Trump, and they missed, mostly due to their own tangled web of corruption. Trump needs to seek prosecution of all involved: Clintons, Washermouth, Lynch, Comey, Abedin, and all the others who took oaths to support and defend the Constitution, but did the opposite.
President Trump’s attorney will have a field day with Comey.
So, another lie? That’s at least 2 he was sworn in aren’t we looking at perjury?
"Mr. Comey admitted that he unilaterally and surreptitiously made unauthorized disclosures to the press of privileged communications with the President.
The leaks of this privileged information began no later than March 2017 when friends of Mr. Comey have stated he disclosed to them the conversations he had with the President during their January 27, 2017 dinner and February 14, 2017 White House meeting.
Today, Mr. Comey admitted that he leaked to friends his purported memos of these privileged conversations, one of which he testified was classified.
He also testified that immediately after he was terminated he authorized his friends to leak the contents of these memos to the press in order to “prompt the appointment of a special counsel.”
Comey claimed he (illegally) leaked his (allegedly) contemporaneous memo in response to Trump's "tapes tweet." The only problem is, Comey orchestrated his leak on May 11th, but Trump did not tweet about the existence of any taping of Comey until May 12th.
Look for more of Jimmy The Weasel's Testimony to come into question as time goes on...
Comey would be in a lot of trouble after his testimony today if it were a sane world.
5.56mm
Exactly...that’s ONE of the reasons his Attorney said what he did and why he did it...
That is perjury.
Sounds like Comey is cornered
At minimum he should get the Martha Stewart sentence for lying...
Jail him!
