With Ominous Tweet, Comey Pal Suggests Bombshell Story Is Soon To Drop
dailycaller.com ^ | 6/23/17 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 06/23/2017 1:44:29 PM PDT by ColdOne

Wittes wrote on Twitter that the upcoming story could be published later Friday or on Monday. The heads-up comes a day after Trump revealed that he was bluffing last month when he suggested that he had recorded his conversations with Comey.

May 16 appears to be his first time Wittes previewed Comey stories.

Hours after Wittes posted the foreboding message that day, The Times published a shocking story: “Comey Memo Says Trump Asked Him To End Flynn Investigation.”

The piece cited a memo that Comey filed just after a Feb. 14 meeting he had with Trump at the White House. In the meeting, Comey claimed that Trump asked him to back off of an investigation into Michael Flynn, the retired lieutenant general who Trump had fired as national security adviser the previous day.

Wittes was not the source of the memo. Columbia law school professor Daniel Richman, another friend of Comey’s, shared the document with The Times after being provided a copy by the former FBI chief.

Richman has since given the memos to the FBI.

Wittes tweeted a series of “ticks” two days later, on May 18. Wittes was an on-the-record source for that article, also written by Times reporter Michael S. Schmidt.

What, NYT helped the Swamp Adder write a better lie? A pox on Comey’s tongue and Twitter fingers.

He never suggested he had recorded anything.

Comey write another diary entry...um...memo recollecting his personal “feelings” on what POTUS wanted from him?

There is nothing. POTUS did not collude with Russians to win the election or obstruct justice. This is the biggest fairytale ever.

There was no memo.

Anything claimed to be in the memo are lies to trigger a special counsel and push a false narrative.

This. The comment was very general and could have meant SOMEONE, not the President, recorded the conversation. Or no one. MSM is just stupid.

Comey spoke to Congress, if he had something important or relevant to say he would have said it already

Looks like Comey is falling into Trump’s latest trap, again. Just as Trump never said he recorded Comey, he never said there are no tapes.

NOW we know why President Trump just did that tweet yesterday...ROFL...and Comey was JUST at the New York Times, and don't feed me the line of B.S. that he was there with his wife for some other reason... This story, and the Times picture...President Trump just nailed Comey's coffin shut... It doesn't matter how the media prints this story, it doesn't matter what they make you try to believe what Comey wrote, it's fake as a 300.00 bill!!! President Trump is very savey as to what he does, and when you finally figured out what it is he did, it's to late Charlie!!!

If Comey changes his story now it will not go well for him. He already had his chance under oath . . . at a minimum he will lose whatever credibility he has left.

Another thing I say most Americans especially Trump voters think Comey and his cronies are corrupt and part of the swamp.

The dems can’t BUY a win, and the media just can’t let this go...RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA. It’s utter nonsense. Let them keep talking to themselves, nobody else is listening.

The "Wittes" in the article is Benjamin Wittes:

"Benjamin Wittes (born November 5, 1969) is an American journalist who focuses on issues of national security and law. He is Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution, where he is the Research Director in Public Law, and Co-Director of the Harvard Law School – Brookings Project on Law and Security."

Trump is going to get Comey on record and then reveal that he only said HE didn’t record the meeting and that HE didn’t have any “tapes”
