Michael Schmidt, the New York Times “journalist” behind the alleged “Trump-Comey Memo”, told fake news anchor, Brian Williams, that he has NOT seen the memo Comey allegedly wrote.

Schmidt stumbled over his words as he commented to Williams, “Someone that had seen [the memo] had recounted details to me.”

I saw it and told Schmidt what was in it.
It’s not my fault that Schmidt can’t hear very well.

Yes, but his wife’s best friend’s cousin’s boyfriend’s next door neighbor’s son’s hairdresser saw it, and that’s practically the same thing!.............

Well, technically this is two sources: he saw it, he told me about it.

See, in law school the first thing they teach is never ask a question to a witness to which you do not know the answer he will give. In journalism school, the first rule is be first with the most outlandish allegation because if proven true, you will be the next Woodward or Bernstein and make millions.

Journalism and reporting are two totally different things. Our current news media is almost all journalism and not reporting.

The only problem is now a fake memo will be created. Normal procedure for the communists left. And since when would a written garbage on a piece of paper become evidence or even allowed. First person crap is unbelievable.

Lorianne :" I saw it and told Schmidt what was in it.
It’s not my fault that Schmidt can’t hear very well."

(From the news source):"Schmidt’s open admissions on MSNBC confirm GotNews reporting Wednesday that Schmidt hasn’t in fact seen the relevant Comey documents."

TIK : The Comey story relies on Second-hand hearsay
Legally, that places it below false news ,.. and makes it "Fabled-News"
or what is commonly called - "Wishful Thinking"

No memos will ever surface. Watch Levin video. I don’t listen to him, but he echoed a lot of my thoughts in the video. It would be scary as hell for the Dems and Comey, if Comey really kept memos.

Unfortunately the biggest blunder by trumps administration is having sessions recused himself! I Hope this mistake will not come back and bite Trump severely on the buttocks!! Unfortunately Meuller is part of the fabric from the swamp and a close friend of the backstabbing Bush’s who hate and despise Trump! I have a very bad feeling about this... I’m praying I’m 100%wrong! The swamp has had a whole year to strategize and plan for the take down! This of course includes the Rinos ..add them to the mix as well!

If Comey held on to the ‘memo’ and didn’t turn it over, it’s prison time...bottom line...

Aka, an illustration of the definition of the word “Gossip” ? ;)

Beyond the above, words fail - and it gets worse with each passing day.(

An NPR reporter said the other day that she had confirmed the reports about the memo but didn’t actually see it either. How is that confirming its existence? Journalism has really gone to crap lately.
