This just goes to show they know they are fucked. This is the first thing that they have clearly not tried to spin at all just said "it's a lie".
If you spin, you can at least say "I didn't lie" later. But there's no coming back from this one.

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

Yes they would be. The statement that internal FBI memos are admissible In court as evidence is in the original post you quoted.
They are, they always have been. This has already been answered several times in this thread.
Not cool dude...
Memos like Comey's are have been used in courts as evidence and as way to accurately recall conversations etc.

Secret service must be combing this thread right now
Wow, that is definitely different from what I heard yesterday. Not that I don't believe you, but is there somewhere that I can read up on this? I would appreciate a link.
So if true, then Trump actually is completely fucked then?
They're probably too busy guarding the vault that holds Trump's phone.

"I do not believe in trial by newspaper article or investigations based on anonymous sources..."
Except for when the subject is Hillary Clinton. Get FUCKED Lindsey.

Thanks to the NYT and James Comey for being top notch!
They're contemporaneous notes from an FBI agent, on file at the FBI and distributed to others in the Bureau and other agencies. These kinds of notes are routinely used as evidence.

Does he get an ambulance or a taxi cab? I forget how this works under the Republican Healthcare bill.
It's in the article in the OP.

This is not the first time a Comey memo bit the current president in the ass.
When he was at the Justice department he did a memo about torture when the Bush administration was pushing for it. Said memo was used in court.
Comey is a lot of things but I do believe he has "cover your ass" down.
what
that's now how anything works
you cannot citizen's arrest Trump. don't even think that you can, you will end up dead or in prison.
he's in a downspiral, be patient and let the feds do their thing

The Democrat governor of NC would pick his replacement. NC isn't one of the states that restricts the pick to the party of the previous senator, he would be free to pick a Democrat.
Of course the NC state government would likely just quickly change the law so they got to pick if such a case arose because the NC GOP sets a new bar for low.
I still don't get why no one seems interested in investigating right-wing propaganda. At this point, they're all acting as propaganda outlets for enemy regimes. Would it be against the law for Fox News to receive its talking points from Moscow, or would that weirdly be allowed by the First Amendment?
Not to ruin Jcnet's fun, but I think a lot of you are falling for 2 posts of pretty obvious redpill or "incels" parody
That's only for us pleebs. Congress gets top of the line care, for free of course. No conflicts there.
i for one would love to see you citizen's arrest the president
Republicans growing a conscience ain't happening. They're Republicans. What will save us is Republicans staring at the prospect of a wave election next year and in 2020.

They certainly are still talking about "leakers." Surrogates and elected officials like Idaho's James Risch.

The ongoing committee process has one half of it that are Republicans actively trying to steer the investigation away from Trump/Russia. Of course he wants the existing committee, a new independent committee would immediately come back with a mountain of evidence.

I'm wondering if Trump would take the coward's way out instead of going to jail.
I've been down on the idea of anything happening to Trump until an election but the networks are still covering this as breaking news and republicans are either canceling their appearances on news shows or not responding to anyone trying to get them on to say something, plus the press briefing was canceled, so it seems like this is different than the other stuff we've seen so far.
What a joker. The biggest traitor is in the Oval Office.
Basically. The hope for impeachment hinges on mid terms next year. If Democrats retake the House, then that would send the Republicans into panic mode.
Go back to bed and come back! First try didn't work, Trump hasn't tweeted anything!
Nothing epic. Ryan to speak to press soon, Trump is radio silent and Putin is offering transcripts from Lavrov meeting if Congress wants them.

Yep Republicans have consistently shown that their concern is not Russia, but leaks. Just watch any of the interview sessions so far. I don't expect that to change either when Comey testifies in public. Republicans will be going all in with leaks and emails because that never gets old... oh and for something new, "isn't it your fault for not reporting this sooner?"
Well, if he shot himself on 5th Ave., his approval numbers would probably go up.

I know nothing will come of this, but still interesting that we've reached the point where the 'I'-word will be uttered on the House floor.

If Democrats don't call Republicans on all of their newly exposed double standards after this presidency I'm going to be sorely disappointed.
Slow clap
Paul Ryan is what you would get if you took an eager if somewhat dim-witted 15 year old, opened up his head and tossed in some Ayn Rand quotes and a Cliffs Notes of Milton Friedman's greatest hits, threw a suit on him and then somehow got him elected to Congress.
But we don't have to imagine that because we have the genuine article standing before us.

God I hope that toad Sessions has to pay dearly for his role in this too. In general I hope Trump, Bannon, Kushner, Pence, Sessions, Ryan and McConnell all experience some heavy fallout from their role in this administration.
