On the same day the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence released the Nunes memo showing the FBI relied on the salacious and unverified Trump dossier to obtain a surveillance warrant on Carter Page, a federal judge ruled to withhold the Comey memos. The memos, authored by former FBI Director James Comey, are about his nine private conversations with President-elect and President Trump.
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who ruled in favor of the FBIs request to keep the Comey memos secret, also sits on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The FISA Court is the same court that approved the surveillance on Trump associates.

I still wonder if Trump has recordings of those conversations. Remember he teased Comey about that in a tweet.
If Comey’s memos misrepresent the conversations and they were recorded, well that’s going to be epic.
Judge Boasberg is a leftist democrat from San Fransisco who was appointed to the district court by the usurper Obama in 2010.
PDJT isn’t stupid enough to fire all his ammo at once. The DNC however will not be enough to contain their ‘outrage’, they’ll go on and on about how this isn’t true, with crazy accusations.
Then he’ll release more. This is going to be epic!!
Comey’s memos most likely totally fabricated, and therefore in the court of public opinion usable by dhim media- it is a good thing and protective of Trump to not allow their release, even if the FBI (who in the FBI?) also wanted to keep them secret. From the perspective of a potential indictment, since Comey should NOT have given them to a friend for publication.
Should note that after the fact, Comey now says his professor pal at Columbia Law is (and was) his lawyer- something he neglected to disclose under oath before Congress— which is not a “whole truth and nothing but the truth” oath. Clever boy ain’t he?
True, Judicial Watch was one who requested the notes. The judge made the decision based on law enforcement proceedings. Sounds more official than an investigation. My question is - will there be a law enforcement proceeding or just discussion?
The FBI quickly declined to release all nine memos, stating on June 16, The records responsive to your request are law enforcement records. There is a pending or prospective law enforcement proceeding relevant to these responsive records, and the release of the information could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings.
Thou hast spake in an archaic dialecte. Dost thou often articulate thusly?
Interesting. That’s the real story here.
The FISA court IS dirty.
