1/ “FBI Director James Comey briefed President-elect Donald Trump on a two-page summary of an unverified dossier”
That Comey did this and used the descriptor “unverified” has a new meaning and significance when views through the lens of the memo.

2/ Originally this could have been viewed as blackmail or a threat to the President. Now it seems like Comey was self reporting on the existence of FISA and that’s it’s basis was “unverified”. For everyone involved in the dossier his descriptor had to be an “Oh shit!” moment.
3/ He leaves the meeting and writes a memo. In his own words a new and unusual event. Why? Again it was originally seen as a threatening act taken in secret by Comey but was it? Or was it a ruse?
4/ I am reconsidering a lot of my interpretations of Comey and his actions. This is all speculation but there are pieces that don’t fit right now.
5/ One piece? If Comey reported to Trump on the dossier in the week leading up to him taking office did he fail to mention it was used as the basis of FISA? That he was using an “unverified” document as the basis to collect on the transition? The public reporting is confusing.
6/ I am starting to think that the meeting in Trump Tower was the beginning of an elaborate ruse designed to entrap the bad actors and create a solid basis to take action against Lynch.
7/ I’m not ready to absolve Comey. His hands are dirty but he may have realized how bad things had gotten and determined there was no way to hide everything. He may have signed off on the Page FISA but never imagined others would use that authorization to collect on the PEOTUS.
8/ By the time Comey went to Trump Tower Rogers had already gone and met with Trump. Comey likely realized the gig was up. Or Trump took the meeting with Comey in Trump Tower on purpose. Confronting Comey in an environment he knew was being recorded. Trump may have flipped Comey.
9/ Every act Comey took from that point forward led to a special prosecutor and the exposure of corruption leading up to yesterdays memo. Comey has either engaged in an elaborate ruse or he is the least self-aware, most obtuse person I know.
10/ When you understand the SC law you realize something very interesting. The only person not threatened by the SC? Trump. Who is threatened? Everyone else. Unless you’ve flipped and been given immunity. Just the thing a rat would do, eh Comey?
11/ All speculation but this seems to fit better. Who met with Bill on the tarmac? Who changed the language for Hillary? Who needed the insurance policy? Who interviewed Hillary? Who interviewed Flynn? Who approved immunity for Team Hillary?

12/ Another point, many have pointed out Trump moved the transition to NJ after meeting with Rogers? Presumably to avoid the surveillance he had been warned about. Then why take the Comey meeting in TT?
13/ The question arises, who trapped who? Who brought up the dossier in that meeting? Why? Did both men walk out of the meeting knowing they had been recorded? If so the memo/recordings interplay after Comey’s firing also looks like a ruse...
