If memos exist, there is no way Comey does not have the originals or at least copies.
And if they don’t exist, I’m sure somebody is busily creating them.
Unless the memo that is produced is date stamped by the FBI and documented as being placed into an FBI file before he illegally leaked it to his boyfriend, then we can assume any memo that is ultimately produced was not contemporaneous and was created after the story leaked.
My bet is that the memo, if it ever existed at all, has been destroyed.
“The dog ate my memo”.
Only the MSM will believe that excuse.
If it is date stamped by the FBI then when Comey leaked it to his boyfriend, they both committed felonies since he leaked an “official” confidential FBI memo to the press.
Comey had better pray that his boyfriend’s dog ate the memo and that the Justice Department buys the excuse.

Are you saying that the head of the FBI - someone who has worked with evidence (in the legal/investigative/criminal sense) for decades and understands prosecution, chain-of-custody rules, etc. - wouldn’t be stupid enough to create valid evidence at the time of a possible crime and then face a potential loss/theft of that evidence or questions about the chain-of-custody by giving it to a private citizen?
I’ve got to agree. In over a decade of working at highest levels of government, it’s the first time he felt the need to generate evidence this way. There is no chance he would break basic investigation/prosecution rules for something that important if the evidence existed. On the other hand, if they were not written at the time he says, but rather after he was fired, he would not want any chance of investigators getting hold of them and determining something isn’t right.
