NYT: Comey Memo Says Trump Asked Him to End Flynn Investigation

I've honestly been contemplating arresting trump on one of my weekends but I am an introvert and don't really wat a parade and positive media attetion :/


Still though I might arrest him because its fully within my rights.
Pls go be the hero we need.
 
To me the funniest thing about this whole Trump business is that if he didn't have money, he would be no different from the people we see getting arrested at the beach for being racist pricks.

He really doesn't have anything special about him, he just somehow has enough money to make it look like does.

If he was poor no one would've cared about what he's saying.

But really, with all that debt are you really rich?
 
National Security Council officials have strategically included Trump's name in "as many paragraphs as we can because he keeps reading if he's mentioned," according to one source, who relayed conversations he had with NSC officials.
Incredible

Those NSC guys have to be thinking the same thing we are while making those memos, "from Obama to this?!"

Eh... I don't think the president can legally be arrested by any law enforcement. Maybe military police?

Oh i'm not law enforcement, i'm just a regular civilian that knows he is genetically better than trump that gives me god gien right to do whatever i want in terms of arresting him. I've never pulled that card before but I may have to this time.

I saw it mentioned yesterday, but this whole situation really just makes you wonder why the hell Trump and the White House want to protect Flynn so badly. I don't think they've had a single bad thing to say about him, and in fact they've actually defended and praised him since the firing. Suggesting that he was wronged. What exactly does he know that makes them want to go to back for him like this?
Because Flynn was like his own personal Wikipedia. He can't just ask anyone how the strong dollar works at 3am.

I'm sure you're just joking around here, but please don't try and arrest Trump. You won't like prison, believe me.

Also, wut? At the bolded.

Conversations with some officials who have briefed Trump and others who are aware of how he absorbs information portray a president with a short attention span.

He likes single-page memos and visual aids like maps, charts, graphs and photos.

National Security Council officials have strategically included Trump's name in "as many paragraphs as we can because he keeps reading if he's mentioned," according to one source, who relayed conversations he had with NSC officials.

Trump likes to look at a map of the country involved when he learns about a topic.

"He likes to visualize things," said a senior administration official. "The guy's a builder. He has spent his whole life looking at architectural renderings and floor plans."

I imagine because he's never bloody heard of the country involved.

If he was poor he'd be on the sex offender registry, internet famous for just how hideous and hilarious his mugshot was.

From what I understand, the President is basically above the law - the courts and police can't touch him (it's more complicated than that, I know)

It's up to Congress to impeach and remove him. Only then can he be thrown in jail.

Anyone with enough insight and relatively clean name in all this mess really should be making calls to get a book deal asap.

Umm...

You might want to go find some professional help before you do something very stupid and get yourself imprisoned or killed.

Come on Donny, time to send some tweets, we're all getting bored over here! :(

Do you think people will look back on the Trump Presidency like they do with George Dubya Bush in that "oh wasn't he a character, good craic!" kinda way?

I can't get enough of the guy, despite him being a terrible human being and totally unfit for any position of responsbility.

I'm assuming you're just taking the piss, right? Because if not...

I laugh at him to hide my fear, anxiety and depression.

Paul Ryan will say they need more information to investigate and then he'll run back into his hole in the ground.

You sound like a lunatic.
 
Comey's memos are multiple pages per memo in high detail about every conversation and meeting he had with Trump. Normal thing for FBI agents to do, they create fallback for when accurate recall is needed and just general paper trail. Something you don't easily strike down as lies.

Yea they already are saying he's lying but Comey's memo will hold up in court (based on past precedence)

FBI memos are notes kept by agents of calls they have with people and are admissible in a court of law as evidence iirc.

edit: Calling the memo a lie would require an admission the memo exists. While it's obvious that it does as per reporting by multiple agencies they see it easier to shriek "fake news".

ah, ok. gotcha. thanks. v cool.

Guys, how am I doing?

you went on a rant instead of trying to have a conversation and your dad pretty much ignored you like i would my 2 year old.

it's good that you are actively trying to engage your dad unlike so many others who refuse to even talk politics with their parents but this is not the way to go.

Waaait a minute- I was under the impression that Comey basically kept a 'diary' of these meetings, so it isn't an official memo.

How would something like that be permissible in court?

He filed the paper trail with the FBI as internal memos. He didn't keep a diary under his pillow.

Not only is 45 unexceptional, he's certainly below average, mentally. He's unread, uses the vocabulary of a grade-school student and has never demonstrated that he has the slightest grasp of history, geography or any field of science.

It's an office memorandum with time stamps and second hand verification. The FBI isn't a joke when it comes to this stuff.
