The source behind the New York Times Comey memo article is the husband of a Clinton advisor. Source Benjamin Wittes is married to Clinton advisor Tamara Wittes. Tamara Wittes was a senior advisor to Secretary of State Clinton and a senior advisor to the Clinton campaign.
He is not a credible source.
Going to be hard to get that dog to hunt. It is a crime for Comey to have believed this and not reported it.
