EXPLOSIVE STUFF - FBI Declarations About Comey Memos just released (reviewing now) WOW --> scribd.com/document/40551…
First off, there's more than 5 Comey Memos.
Comey documented NINE encounters with POTUS.... and multiple other engagements.
These memos are Comey's version of the Susan Rice inauguration day memo to self. However, these memos cover a lot more material and outline key investigative moments. The "why" justifications are in these memos.
The FBI lead agent in the Mueller investigation, David W Archey, is telling the court the innocuous stuff is ok to redact. But the more substantive Comey material must not be released. EVER.
Whoops. "redact" should be *release*. The innocuous stuff is OK to release. But...
This court filing from Archey stems from a long standing FOIA case about the memos.

The filing has two exhibits. (A and B) Each exhibit is a prior filing with the court outlining why the memos needed to be withheld and redacted from release.
"Exhibit A" is essentially Archey explaining why it's important to continue withholding the information as explained to the court on January 31st, 2018. documentcloud.org/documents/5805…
"Exhibit B" is where the real action is.... scribd.com/document/40551…
"Exhibit B" is an October 13th, 2017, court filing telling the court why the Comey memos cannot be released; and specific reasons why the Mueller team was arguing against that release.

The scope of the memos is explained. Comey recorded meetings about the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. These are his "CYA memos". And they list investigative approaches and the use of FBI witnesses and FBI informants. Everything about this is WHOA.... 😲
Comey outlines "at least one target" as part of the investigative conversations within his memos.
David Archey tells the court no-one has ever discussed the number of memos or their content. Then informs the court of FBI assets outlined in the memos, including code-named assets attached to FISA submissions and deployments. Everything in this part is 😲😲
