Haven't U wondered why HC funneled 300k to the McCabe family? Haven't U wondered why Turner placed client privilege files on these laptops to prevent the agents from viewing the files on the laptops?

The #ComeyMemos bolster his credibility but undermine a case for obstruction. Although he shares his personal opinions about a number of things in the memos, he never says that he interpreted Trump’s somewhat amorphous comments to be an effort to end the investigation.
2/
That assertion is made for the first time AFTER he is fired, and a good defense lawyer will align that conclusion to his vendetta from being fired. Because the statements are not clear cut on their face, Comey’s interpretation matters, and so does the timing.

So the case as it relates to Comey —Air Force One response to Trump Tower meeting sns McCabe tweets are separate — hinges even more on Trump’s statements to Lester Holt, which are also somewhat equivocal. Would be a tough case made tougher by the memos.

COMEY MEMOS: (THREAD) Working my way through the 15 pages of #ComeyMemos. Here are the most important and/or shocking revelations: 1/
During #Comey's 1/6/17 at Trump Tower, @Comey told Trump that the Russians allegedly had tapes involving Trump & prostitutes at a Moscow hotel in 2013. Could these be the infamous #PeeTapes? #ComeyMemos 2/
Trump also praised #Comey on 1/6/17 for his handling of the #ClintonEmails investigation. @realDonaldTrump lavished praise on @Comey, indicating that Comey had conducted himself "honorably" and had a great reputation. #ComeyMemos 3/

THREAD: The #ComeyMemos were released‼️

Here’s a breakdown.👇🏼 1/

Here’s the first conversation btwn @Comey and then-“President” Elect Trump where Trump insinuates that he’d never be with a prostitute b/c he doesn’t need to pay for sex.🙄

Didn’t he leave money on the dresser for a woman⁉️ 2/
Here goes @realDonaldTrump with his not-so-subtle question to @Comey: “so what do you want to do?” explaining that “about 20 people” wanted Comey’s job.🙄

And then, Trump dives into his MOBSTER “loyalty pledge.”🤬

Chuck #Grassley has all seven #Comeymemos
Read his January 3rd letter to see where he is going with them.
PDF>judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
"Have you initiated an investigation into the matter of whether Mr. Comey improperly disclosed classified information by providing these memoranda to Professor Richman? If so, what is the status of the investigation? If not, why not?"
Translation: Investigate Comey or mishandling classified information or I will have the IG investigate the department for not doing so.
