Some of the Comey memos contained classified information. Intentionally leaking classified information is a big no no. The referral we sent to DOJ regarding Comey has been buttressed.
The pettiness of the memos is striking. Comey clearly had it out for Trump from the beginning.
The whole “obstruction” angle was much more a fever dream of the Beltway crowd than it was a serious angle. The memos don’t provide evidence of obstruction of justice; at best, they show @POTUS making an innocuous lament about the fall of Mike Flynn.
Memos paint the picture of an innocent man: Trump was frustrated that Comey kept telling him he wasn’t under investigation yet the public was being led to believe otherwise. Trump wanted his name cleared & his behavior was consistent with someone who hadn’t done anything wrong.
Tragedy that a special counsel investigation was launched by leaking of the memos (which Comey has admitted). No basis in the memos to trigger a criminal investigation & it is to the discredit of Rosenstein that he caved to the pressure of the media/Democrats & appointed Mueller.
