Aside from that, the memo was apparently from weeks ago (right AFTER the meeting with Trump). Comey must have been psychic to know that Trump was going to fire him eh?
I spent almost 30 years working for attys at a top level/prestigious national law firm - which dealt with business and govt matters at the highest level statewide, nationally, and internationally.
These were extremely smart, highly-educated PROFESSIONALS - in the truest sense of the word.
There was NEVER a meeting with a high-level figure or involving a sensitive matter after which a memo was NOT written, or handwritten notes not kept.
The universal practice was attys took notes throughout these meetings on the proverbial legal pad, or immediately thereafter, and dictated a memorandum from these notes "To The File." The younger ones in later days would write their own memos on their laptops. Highly sensitive matters never made it to the support staff or common files but, instead, were kept in locked drawers in the atty's office. Often the notes were never transcribed but the legal pad with handwritten notes went into the file in the locked drawer. Each file had its own legal pad. lol
Comey ABSOLUTELY kept notes of his meetings with Trump. I'm certain he made notes immediately thereafter, which later were put into official written form. Latest reports the memo was written on 2/14 over two weeks after the dinner. Based on what I know of how men like this operate - Comey made notes of this meeting immediately afterwards and on 2/14 drafted the official memo from his handwritten notes.
Highly, highly sensitive stuff might never be kept in the office at all. Clearly, Comey kept all these documents out of FBI facilities - or made copies as cya in the event he would ever need them.
Comey KNEW what he was dealing with and was not going to be played by the LIAR TRUMP if he could at all help it.
Paper trails are de rigueur.
The memo is REAL.

I have no doubt.
Trump may find himself in some SERIOUS trouble over this.
At the very least, he's becoming more and more of lame duck just a bit over 100 days into his administration. He's shown himself to be so untrustworthy and so cavalier about the fate of his staff and political allies (more than willing to throw them under the bus to save himself from looking bad) that he's going to have an increasingly difficult time getting ANYONE to stand by him.
This is BY FAR the most messed up administration in American history. Barely 100 days in and it's already a total train wreck with ZERO major legislative achievements - NONE, NADA, ZIP.
And it's unlikely to get any better for him from here on out. He's already blown his "honeymoon" period, things only get tougher after that.
What an incompetent boob!

I love it that Criminal Trump is in the hot seat because of his mouth and incompetence. And how most media outlets and networks are informing the world of his crookedness EXCEPT Fox Noise.
You should follow your advice and since I am not personally trying the case is not required. Comey laid out a solid augment and many prosecutors have comment it was enough to go to trial.This is red meat to most of the AG and Prosecuting Attorneys!
The reason why HRC was not prosecuted because Obama protected the party. Can one imagine if your nominee was indicted and tried for just the section of USC18? The DNC would not of seen the light of day for a very long time and the damage would of been huge for years to come.
As a result Trump one and Democrats more creditability.
Trump has the benefit of being cleared collusion many times over and Comey, Rodgers and Clapper have stated under oath "No Collusion"
Comey broke the Polices of the FBI and there fore is not effective leader.
Many prosecutors do not have the information on the case that Comey had.
If Obama protected the party, how come the probe into Clinton's emails was reopened 11 days before election day?
Trump was NEVER cleared of collusion by Comey. What makes you say this, because Trump said so in his termination letter to Comey? That is not correct.
"There was no evidence that rose to that level, at that time, that found its way in to the intelligence community assessment, which we had pretty high confidence in," the former director of national intelligence said of collusion between Trump campaign aides and Russians, referring also to the US intelligence assessment that Russia tried to influence the presidential election in favor of Trump. "That's not to say there wasn't evidence, but not that met that threshold."
When asked whether the FBI's Russia investigation is fake news, or a "witch hunt," as Trump called it this morning in another tweet, Clapper told MSNBC on Friday: "I don't believe it is."
Note: Clapper left his DNI position on Jan 20, days before Flynn was interviewed by the FBI and Yates met with WH Counsel to inform them Flynn was compromised and his underlying actions were questioned.
Comey has now boxed himself in with his fairly obvious attempt at payback for being terminated and embarrassed.
On one hand, the self described "last honest person in Washington" has had this supposed "memo" for months and never said a word about it, which in and of itself is a violation if it truly exists as stated.

On the other hand, it's not true and he's a liar.
Either way it's bad for him.
Yeah, let's just ignore the fact that Comey's memo was written before he was fired. Because that doesn't fit into your fairy tale, right?
