Chaffetz: Where’s the memo, Mr. Comey?

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, in a Thursday “Good Morning America” interview, wondered aloud where the now-famous James Comey memos were — and whether the fired FBI director really was going to release them for public viewing.

These are good questions — ones that cut right through the labyrinth of speculation and innuendo created by Comey’s memo mention and fueled by a madcap mob mentality rush from Democrats and the media to take down President Donald Trump.

Where are the memos, indeed, Mr. Comey?

“I think in the light of day in a public setting, he should be able to tell us about the materials, if they’re there, and I question whether or not they’re actually there,” Chaffetz said.

Chaffetz just requested the FBI turn over “memoranda, notes, summaries and recordings” of discussions between Trump and Comey, in order to determine whether the president — as the fired FBI director alleges — actually tried to “influence or impede” the investigation into former National Security Advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. Chaffetz gave a deadline of May 24 to receive the materials.

His “Good Morning America” appearance goes even bolder with demand for proof.

So far, all we know about Trump’s supposed request to Comey to back off the investigation of Flynn is simply that Comey said he did. And the White House, for the record, denies Trump asked Comey to stop investigating Flynn.

It’s a he-said, he-said situation, that’s for sure — but one that the media has run with as proof positive of Trump’s obstruction of justice guilt.

Who’s seen this memo?

Bet these memos were all created post-termination. And it also wouldn't be a shocker if he didn't write any for his many meetings with Lynch and Obama about the Clinton email or foundation investigations which he shouldn't have been talking to the President about. Comey is a dirty cop whose past intertwines with the Clintons way too much to be coincidental. He's let them off the hook more than just the email server debacle but media isn't telling you this. Smarten up folks, the sh**'s about to get real. Comey is a big part of the Deep State along with Brennan and Clapper. As for Chaffetz, peesha. The cuck is leaving June 30 and good riddance. He's let a lot of this nonsense slips through cracks the size of the Grand Canyon. He's no better than Comey. They seem like homies whenever you see them together. More posturing for Chaffetz to go after the Utah governor job or a cushy Fox News job.

Chaffetz is showboating for some reason. We all know he'd ineffectual in Congress on any of the oversights committees. Look what happened with all the Clinton email server hearings over the summer? A big nothing. He's a paper tiger whose leaving (Thank God) in June. Gowdy has taken over his spot I believe. Hope this will end all the nonsense and bring back some sanity now that Gowdy is working with a sane DOJ again after 8 years of lawlessness.

Interesting how the memos miraculously surface after he's fired. Sounds like a Hoover move to me. Looks like Comey may have shot himself in the foot because he's trying to backtrack. If there was any impropriety done then he was supposed to report it immediately or he is the one who is found to be criminally negligent. If Sire Comey was as good a lawyer as we all thought he was, surely he would've known this before hand. Another smoke and mirror to mess with people's minds and feed an insidious narrative by the Democrats. Guess we know how Comey got his $11M stash. All hush money from Democrats?

How can Comey be a CREDIBLE witness , when after being
Fired by Trump , he would obviously have Pay-Back in mind ??

Any so called Memos were probably made after the fact !!!!
