Obstruction of Justice

quote [ President Trump asked the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, to shut down the federal investigation into Mr. Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, in an Oval Office meeting in February, according to a memo Mr. Comey wrote shortly after the meeting. ]

Looks like Stupidgate is about to be in full swing.

Your honor I would like to present Exhibit #2 in the case of the US vs. Trump.

"James Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!"

Stupidgate only happens if/when House and Senate GOPs finally decide to get off the train. Several have; Paul Ryan looks ready to leap. Waiting to see if Mitch grows a pair or decides to retreat back into his shell again.

It's as though Trump were deliberately testing the GOP leadership for sport, just to see how far he can go before they finally have had enough. These douchebags are so committed to their regressive aganda I doubt were even close, even with this latest outrage. And it always bears asking- what if this were Hillary?
Anyway, as long as the vast majority of Republican voters still believe Trump over the press, he can continue pissing on the law, the Constitution, and himself without worry.

So this reporter is reporting on a memo he hasn't seen, that was written by Comey which may or may not accurately reflect his conversation with Trump. A reporter somewhere might actually have to get out of their pajamas and do to some investigative reporting.

I am giving odds on who the leaker was if your interested...

Hint: it was somebody who had accesses to James Comey's personal notes.

Just FYI-
The reporter who broke the story about President Trump and Russia also uncovered Hillary Clinton's private email server.
Clearly the guy is not a partisan hack. This is investigative reporting.

That's just more Fake News form the weak Week! Everybody knows the lyin' Liberal media employs bioduplicates as reporters to confuse the public.

You mean ... Crisis Reporters?!

The Chairman of the House Oversight Committee is requesting everything Comey's got, so maybe this thing is going to be the thing.

As long as the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee is Jason Chaffetz I wouldn't bet on this being a thing, at least not a thing that leads to anything like impeachment proceedings.

Not unless he can find a Hillary email tie-in.

I can imagine Trump looking into closing down federal departments and then selling those now empty federal buildings to foreign investors, him taking some finder's fee cut while adding the stipulation the building be named after him. That'll work out so well, he'll try doing the same for schools and highways.
