Even if you assume Trump did no wrong...yes someone high up in his little circle is leaking information. And he and his gang are so incompetent they can't figure it out....
Actually President Trump can declassify ANYTHING he wants. Its the privilege of EVERY president to do so. So no crime at all committed there AND we have the word of an anonymous source who SUPPOSEDLY read SOMETHING over the phone to a "reporter" 10 years ago REAL reporters took a little more effort in verifying the information say like at least getting a PICTURE of the memo! The traitors on the left are jumping to conclusions over hearsay and anonymous sources...setting yourselves up to look really goofy.
And Trump isn't? He declassified that in a closed door meeting with people who are not our allies in the least.
The clock is ticking and the field is narrowing down to a small group of people who can have leaked confidential information and spread false information to the press.
I wonder how that person or maybe more than one is feeling tonight.
News that Comey wrote a memo in February detailing how Trump urged him to stand down on an investigation into fired national security advisor Michael Flynn has stunned the White House, Capitol Hill and much of the public.
But the existence of the document should come as no surprise to those who know the career law enforcement officer, according to Matthew Miller, a former Justice Department spokesman.
In fact, the document may have been more than an afterthought after a troubling Oval Office conversation, he said.
"I think there is a good possibility that Jim Comey continued to have these conversations with the president because he was actually building an obstruction of justice case,"
...
This would not be the first time Comey had the foresight to document an exchange that later sparked a major White House controversy.
In 2005, when Comey was deputy attorney general he emailed his chief of staff and others about objections to the George W. Bush administration's use of harsh interrogation techniques, according to Politico. In the messages, Comey reportedly acknowledged that he approved most of the Office of Legal Counsel opinions authorizing the techniques, but he said he'd urged then-Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to advise the White House to abandon the harshest methods.
"In stark terms I explained to him what this would look like some day and what it would mean for the president and the government," Comey wrote in a 2005 email message to his chief of staff, according to the Politico report. Comey added that future reviews would probably conclude "that some of this stuff was simply awful."
When a controversy over the use of harsh interrogation flared up in June 2009, Comey's mails made clear that he had not supported the policy.
"Comey had the foresight to write that email and then, when he left the DOJ, to print it out and put in into the file and hold onto it until four years later, when The New York Times went to write about this," said Miller.
To those who think the memo does not exist or is "heresay", I suggest you consider the source. And there may be a lot more where it came from.
I think Trump will be "offered" the opportunity to step aside without criminal charges. His attorneys, Ivanka and Jared will strongly suggest he take the deal and maybe Trump will follow their advice. He will, of course, spin it to look like he was victimized (by everyone) and his supporters will speak of vast conspiracies, never acknowledging Trump's own role in destroying his brand, family name and his presidency.
Pence will then go on to make tobacco a daily requirement for schoolchildren and instate mandatory prayer in all schools and businesses. A Christian version of Sharia law.
Yes, the last part is exaggeration. Out of respect for the dead, the rest has been told exactly as it will occur.
I'm not sure how long it will take but is sounds that Comey sooner than later will loose his law license and will be in hand cuffs
It sounds to me like you're high on something. And desperate.
