If CNN's chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin has bad news for former FBI Director James Comey you know it has to be real bad. Toobin delivered his bad news about Comey's leaked memos on Monday's The Lead which was hosted by Jim Sciutto. The news that Toobin presented might be enough for Comey to break out his worry beads: he placed himself in a "pretty vulnerable position" by leaking them.

Comey appointed Special Persecutor Fitzgerald.
Coincidence?
It was the “high sign” to RosenWeasel to kick-off the preplanned events.
I'm still amazed that he used a fake Dossier from Hillary to spy illegally on Trump.....and got away with it.
Comey alleged in the memos that he felt pressured by Trump to drop the investigation into Flynn. The media used this to accuse Trump of “obstruction” into the Flynn investigation, and question the independence of the investigation, calling for the special counsel. Sessions had already recused himself from this matter, so Rat Rosenstein had all the excuse he needed to appoint Mueller.
Supposedly because Comey made law when he refused to recommend charges against Clinton.
I KNOW, Isn’t that total BS? Total BS.
Maybe you can’t go after him for that, but how about leaking to the media etc etc.
While we’re on the subject of spineless GOPers, why the heck doesn’t McConnell go nuclear on everything. This is ridiculous.
Give Comey a break, hes used to operating with no accountability. This is new territory for him. He needs to spend some time in a more structured enviroment. Like prison.
“Yeah I know he said it - i just wonder why leaking them would ever lead to a SC? Whats in the memo(s) that did that?”
I would guess it was all part of the plan to take down Trump. Comeys memos were reported by the NYT on 16 May 17. The next day Rosentstein appointed Mueller. Have you ever known the Justice Dept to react this fast in the past. They had it down by the numbers, clearly orchestrated.
Thank you Boogieman. Everyone says it’s out there but nobody except you was able to respond with any info.
so the memo contained comey’s recollections of being pressured to drop the Flynn investigation.
... and supposedly that kicked it off. IMO they would have used anything to kick it off.
I researched and wrote a 30k+ word paper on this just to understand it for myself.
That part is easy: The media hyped Trump influencing Comey re the Flynn investigation as a result of the memos. The Tweet-storm was mere theater which fed the frenzy (ala “tapes”).
After the dossier, that was stage 2 of the Op, but once again Trump didn’t back down, forcing the media and other players to circle the wagons.
They then went all-in on “Russian collusion” and, in the wake of the renewed IG office’s powers at DOJ, we’ve been learning the truth ever since.
That’s the short answer; it’s a LOT deeper that that with over 100x more details.
