Comey wrote shortly after the meeting, goes on to document information that the president has tried to direct the influence the Justice Department and fbi investigation between mr. Trumps associates and russia. Jason chaffetz demanding that the fbi turn over the memorandum, notes, summaries, and recordings of discussions between mr. Trump and mr. Comey. They also highlight some of the dialogue that went on between these two gentleman saying i hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, letting guy, io. He is a good hope you can let this go. I agree replied only, he is a good guy. There is more to the story and we will reach fortunes of it this morning four should fortunes portions of it this morning. 202 7488000 for democrats, 202 7488001 for republicans,. Ndependents, 202 7488002 the story prompted a response from the white house. Well the president has expressed his view that mr. Flynn was a decent man who served our country he has never asked mr. Comey or anyone else to end any investigation including the investigation involving general flynn. This is not a truthful or at portrayal ofurate the conversation between the president and mr. Comey. The story gives a little bit of a background to the meeting. Here is more from the times, saying despite the conversation the investigation of mr. Flynn has continued. Part of the Flynn Investigation is centered on his financial links to russia and turkey. Mr. Comey had been in the office that day with other senior officials. Went the meeting ended mr. Trump told those present to leave the room except for mr. Comey. Office mr. E oval trump began the discussion by condemning leaks to the news media, saying mr. Comey should consider putting reporters in prison for publishing classified information. Mr. Trump then turned to discussion to mr. Flynn. After writing a memo that outline the meeting mr. Comey shared it with senior fbi officials. The details of the conversation would not affect the investigation. Willie is up first on our line for republicans, annapolis, maryland, your thoughts. Caller i am pretty much believing what he said. , is not so much on a memo but i think it was missy es,ht who was the miss yat the acting attorney general, they are both saying the same thing. That tells me there is a problem going on and for President Trump to ask how he does, i am not sure he is even a good businessman. Yes, i do believe that mr. Comey has told the truth on everything, regardless. Host joe is next in san francisco, democrat line. Caller good morning. I think this is a problem. Maybe that answers some questions of why he fired him because if you did that, my goodness. That is a conflict of interest. He cannot influence the fbi to make a decision one way or another on flynn. He has to be independent of that and let him do his investigation totally on his own. I think maybe that is the reason he fired him. Bounds. Erstepping his trying to, hey might not tying a not he might not be able to get loose from. There might be more to come from this. I want to hear more about this suspect when very he fired him like that. I knew there was something behind this. True,s turns out to be they are going to have to look more into the other things that trump has been doing because this is not good at all. Host carol from twitter at this , it would be helpful to have the New York Times turnover the memo. We need to get to the truth and it is hard to know who is telling the truth. Steve saying, when it comes to credibility issues mr. Comeys word will always carry more weight than mr. Trumps. In south portland, maine, the democrat line independent line. Caller if what they are reporting is true, former director comey is in trouble for not immediately reporting the obstruction of justice charge to the department of justice. He is in big trouble. That is a violation of the law. Host the New York Times has a sidebar story taking a look at how objects obstruction of justice is weighed and how those charges are considered. Part of the story by charlie avage saying, what would such case and tail . These type of cases often come down to whether prosecutors can prove defendants mental state when they committed the act. It is not enough that the defendant knew it would have a consequence of in pending the investigation. Achieving the obstruction has you have this civic intention. Prosecutor, a former who led the Justice Departments Enron Task Force and now teaches criminal law was initially skeptical about whether the mere firing mr. Comey could prove beyond a reasonable doubt that mr. Trump had an improper mental state but he said on tuesday that subsequent revelations have made evidence much more robust. Indicated proper purpose previously in his communications with director comey. The wall street journal talks to another person about obstruction cases and how they are handled, richard painter, a chief ethics lawyer in the bush administration. It would be an obstruction of justice to fire the fbi director if he did not drop the however, if all he does is express his view that it is an investigation he hopes will end, that in and of itself would not be obstruction of justice. He added that the sequence of events appear to show an implicit threat. Missouri. Ican line, caller obstruction of justice. Trump the second power. We should have checks and balances where we get rid of the obstruction of justice charge for everyone forever because basically i have learned living in misery, i dont drink ms. Lori, i dont missouri, i dont drink or smoke or do drugs. I have never used drugs. I watched the Judicial Committee on tv and they were talking about going after king. They kingpins. Going after that king. If i tried to stop them from doing this they might try to use charge me. Host what about the memo . Try to keep it on that. Caller trump has every right to fire this guy. He will continue to lie and destroy this generals life, and they do not care what they do for you. There is no way to stop. Checks and balances. Host this is tony from pleasantville, new jersey, democrat line. Caller that last guy right there is the reason why we are having the problems with the separation in the country, that is my first comment. It is mighty strange that everybody is lying but trump. They cant see that. Why dont they give comey and trump Lie Detector Test and if trump refuses to test take it we know he is really lying. Host your thoughts welcomed on the line or social media. Concetta says, a memo is just a memo and not real evidence. You can add your thoughts at cspan wj and on our facebook page. Lets hear from jackie in idaho, republican line. Go ahead. Caller good morning, and thanks for cspan. I just find it kind of odd that this actually started with hillarys email thing, and that was just brushed over. Comey said she did commit and i just do not get it i think the guy is really political and there is still a lot of obamas people in their. These leaks are what is illegal. Host so you dont trust the contents of the memo itself . Caller no, we havent had any proof. Nobody will show us anything. It is all this guy said this and this guy said that until i see something on paper, im going to stick with trump. I think he is being railroaded and i think they need to get back to hillary and find out what was going on there. Thanks for letting me make my comment. Host reaction from congress over the events of the last couple of days, representative adam schiff quoted in the New York Times, on the democratic intelligence committee, said the report solidified the need for mr. Comey to reef lawmakers and they also brief lawmakers and they also want to see his note. Adam schiff appeared before the cameras yesterday to talk about the latest information on the memo. I think we know enough now, there has been enough enough alleged to bring the director before our committee. You should come back to the congress and share what he knows in terms of the president s conversation with him on what he knows on any of the russian investigation. I think we ought to ask for the notes that were taken contemporaneously or shortly after those meetings, and if there are any takes as the president alleged though should be obtained by congress. If necessary, we should subpoena them but hopefully we can obtain them voluntarily. On the heels of an allegation that the president himself acknowledged, that he brought up in the context of whether the director would stay on as director and whether he was the subject of an investigation, in the context of reports by the director that essentially he was , and for a loyalty test now with allegations the president urged him to drop the investigation of michael flynn, enough is enough. Congress needs to get to the bottom of this. Host reporting on congressional action in the New York Times they quote Lindsey Graham saying he was withholding judgment, saying he would not opine about a memo. He said, if the fbi director feels the president did something inappropriate he should come in and tell us. Asked if he was any more inclined out to embrace a special prosecutor to investigate ties between mr. Trumps associates and russia, graham said no. Caller good morning, pedro. This is the most devastating thing in my lifetime. I was not around for watergate. Elizabeth holton who was on the Impeachment Committee in the 1970s was on democracy now yesterday actually monday morning. Very ink there is a yesterday i could not believe what i saw. I couldnt believe it. Mean, i know this is not the primary thing here, topic this morning, look, we are putting israel at risk. Yes, protect us from isis. Yes, there are people in america , not in my state of massachusetts know much. There is a lot of sexism. People need to get over monica lewinsky. Host you said this is devastating. Explain why. ,aller devastating because look, my politics tend to be on the left side and i long for george bush 43. I long for someone who doesnt view this as just a game with the russian spies. This is nick sony and as far as onian as far as i know my history. He has loose lips and you do not know who to believe. It is all a game. He is putting our security at risk. As someone who voted for hillary clinton, we were very angry about comeys announcement before the election. Back in 2007 he was a standup guy when there was the signing statement. R was rightll mah when he said he had some character. Trump admitted it, and the journalism, thank goodness we still have a free press to do its job. Host michigan, republican line, michelle, go ahead. Caller there is a law out there of a felony. For. 18 usc is it is in regard to if you know the felony has been committed you need to let somebody know about that. Knew, obviously was aware that donald trump supposedly wanted this investigation against flynn stopped he should have told someone, simple. This law, he is eligible for a fine and imprisonment, but not more than three years, or both. Where is his liability . Host do you believe the contents of the memo . Caller i dont know if i do were not. I think highly of donald trump. People seem to stand up and forget why he was elected, because he was a businessman who was going to join in and get the country turned around. He has done that. I mean, he is doing it and faster than anybody in history. So whether or not i believe it or not, i dont know. I havent given it much thought but the fact, the law is the law. If you will nitpick the law with everything donald trump does, lets hold some of these other people accountable as well. Host ruth is on our independent line in sterling heights, michigan, good morning. Caller everybody is talking about tapes and the white house. I come back from the eisenhower administration. Personally and he and nixon were good friends. He got impeached because he was trying to cover it up and destroy the tapes from the oval office. Everything, and i mean everything, every meeting, every word that happens in the oval office is highly topsecret and classified, highly document, and yes, there are tapes from everything. Right now they have video that happened in the oval office, and no congress has no business getting their hands on it. It should go to a special prosecutor and should be handled through the intelligence agencies only. You have a lot of politicians who are not properly vented. Vetted. I would never trust them with any classified information coming out of the white house, just because their congressman does not just because they are congressman does not give them that right. They tried to pull the same crop during crap during the clinton investigation. Host what is the best way to handle this . Caller by a special prosecutor. Mr. Trump, you have got too much family interfering with the different governments, in the white house. You might have some loose lips sinking ships from inlaws and stuff like that. Host lets hear from pennsylvania, mckeesport, pennsylvania, gary. Democrat line. Caller originally when i called the lady asked what i wanted i said maybe what we really need is another 9 11 to get people back to reality, to get people to understand that we need a president in the white house. We need somebody in the white house who is strong and willing to defend the country instead of spending our time enriching the clinton administration. I mean, the clinton foundation. Host the comey memo, what do you think . Itler i saw you underlining but by that time i had the tv turned down. The thing that sent the over here, i heard George Stephanopoulos over on abc. It sounded like he was in citing a crowd to write, that was the citingf his what in to riot. Host x . Next caller. Caller i do not believe the memo. Obama called a oneonone meeting with comey right after he was appointed. They had met with President Trump and all of us summon sudden the democrats are saying it is favoritism to the republicans. I have a feeling when obama got a hold of comey it would change comey aspects of the investigation. About eight months later, sure enough, my gut instinct proved i was right. Not only mine, everybody that saw the, heard the announcement that comey had a oneonone meeting with obama. Host what about this oneonone meeting with President Trump as the comey memo outlines . Caller i dont know. All i know is that soon as had met with josh nunez met with z met with trump oneonone and everybody wants to terminate him. Why wasnt it wrong when comey had a oneonone meeting is to mark i do not believe meeting . I do not believe he should have a oneonone meeting with obama. Host sheila is next, chattanooga, tennessee, independent line. Caller i am really concerned about the situation. Comey has been proven to be a man of integrity. Funny, but compared to the disco people who have this, two people who have this conversation, comey stands high above. The president has proven himself to be a liar continually and so with that, i will leave it. Host one of the other storylines coming out yesterday was more on this meeting in the oval office between the president , the Russian Foreign minister and ambassador. He shared with those gentlemen, the New York Times reporting, information coming from israel. In the near post, new york respecte more important handrumps campaigns might have been important. Owednited states reciprocity to russia in the form of an audience with trump for tillersons russian counterpart. Rejecting prudence request for a meeting whatever representative breach and diplomatic tradition. Meeting mr. F the trump was given a briefing materials along with materials from his staff that he wanted to raise with the foreign minister. Mcmaster briefs trump immediately before a foreign leader warning meeting but the Senior Administration official did not know if he did so that warning. That would have been the moment to brief the president about what is Sensitive Information and what is not. About that information that was shared during the white house meeting, it was h. R. Mcmaster going before the White House Press corps reiterating his confidence not only in the meeting but in content that was shared. The premise of that article is false that in any way the president had a conversation that was inappropriate or resulted in a lapse of National Security. I think the real issue and what i would like to see debated more, if the National Security has been put at risk why those violating confidentiality and leaking information to the press that could be connected with other Information Available to make american citizens and others more vulnerable. Host that came from a Washington Post story, the new headline ahas on its story about a meeting between the president and mr. Comey in which, was stated to him to stop the investigation of michael flynn. Trumping to the memo, mr. Told mr. Flynn, he is a good guy, i hope you can let this go. 202 7488000 for democrats 202 7488001 four republicans. , 202 7488002. Richard from kentucky, independent line. Caller donald trump is not a career politician. He is an old boy that get in and tries to get things done they want to pick at every syllable, everything, every time the man turns around. I dont think mr. Comey has much credibility. We saw it with that bill clinton meeting with loretta lynch. This meeting was no more than a briefing, they had dinner, and by trump, ilied hope we can get to the bottom of this i do not believe donald trump tried to obstruct justice. Obstructing justice is when Chuck Schumer takes all these weeks in the near leaks in the New York Times and Washington Post. We have got to get to the bottom of this and find out who is leaking. Donald trump is getting ready to go on a very important overseas meeting with the arab countries. You go over there and calm the nerves of our allies, get it straightened out in israel, and come back because we will be here for you. Next,chris up jacksonville, north carolina, democrat line. Arguably, the comey memo , this does not really matter because our cost to ship will help us arrive all of this constitution will help us survive all of this. The trash in the system is trash out of the system, and people with no experience, no interest in serving the country, just selfinterest, will do all kinds of things when they get in office. We must learn to exile our citizenry and vote people in office who we believe is going to understand the government, and the constitution. Host lets step back, first to the memo. Why are you not concerned . All kinds of bad president have done all kinds of things. Host so you are not concerned about the contents of a discussion between these two men . Caller i am concerned about it, but it is a lesson for the normal people that you need to vote for the right person. Host potential obstruction of justice is not a life or death situation . Caller not to the extent that it has been done so far. It is what we asked for and what we got. Host falls church, virginia, independent line, john. Caller i want to talk about the important and the difference between propaganda and news. When the New York Times and Washington Post crossed the line into propaganda by using terms like memo on a piece of paper that was not sent to anybody. Those are called notes. They call it memo to give it some kind of weight or more import, is something they did with dossier. To signalhese words something of significance and there is nothing. That that wasoof written prior to the meeting. You have to be able to show the notes, where put together and submitted to someone prior to the meeting. Host that is john in falls church, virginia, that thought is picked up on facebook. If there is a memo and they take , the fbi director should also be fired. The memo could have been read anytime yesterday day before yesterday, anytime after comey was fired and out of spite for trump firing him. Been the martin says my money is on comey. Washington, republican line, good morning. Caller good morning. I have been around for quite a while, i am 70 some odd years old, and i cannot understand how folks cannot turn around and look. When we were raising our kids we expected them to tell the truth, nothing but the truth. When they would come home and tell us ally we would punish them a lie we would punish them. We have a president that i did not vote for now because he liked. Lied to. Lied. He lies and lies and lies. How can he represent us . We are folks that tried to bring our kids up in a straight way, a religious way. You do not tell lies. I believe the federal bureau of investigation could really do a job. Host on its face, do you think the president tried to obstruct justice . Caller absolutely. He is a bully. He showed it like in the middle of the doggone campaign. You have little hands, little marco. He did it to each one of them and they dont have the guts to stand up and say, this guy has not been telling the truth. He bullied us all the way. Host as far as jim comey is concerned, do you think he is telling the truth . Caller absolutely. Host why so . Of a jobe has a hell and he has to live with his conscience, and do the job we asked him to do. I believe he has been walking a tightrope trying to be fair to both sides and trying to find the truth. From james is next tennessee, democrat line. Caller donald trump told the people, i tell you what you want to hear. He said i dont pay no taxes because i am smart. Whatever happened to, you always heard that no one is above the law, not even the president. Tests. Ive some polygraph i bet you donald trump will not take a polygraph test. Host as far as this memo, what do you think about the contents and the overall story in the New York Times . Caller that man not lying on donald trump. Donald trump been a liar his whole life. He is a professional liar. I am 88 years old. I know exactly what is going on. To the mothers and fathers that have children, and when they said, who did you vote for and you said donald trump, they will ask you why. If a man is rich, it is all right for him to stick his head under my dress . Host the wall street journal in its editorial taking a look at the event of yesterday and the past couple of days. They write, loose lips sink presidencies. This shows why a president s credibility is so important. They will not give him the benefit of the doubt or be responsive if they ask for support. The white house spent two days attributing mr. Comeys firing to a Justice Department recommendation, only for mr. Trump to insist in a tv interview that the pink slip came regardless of recommendation. The white house denied that account of the conversation but that would be more credible if its previous statements were more reliable. The editor adding, mr. Trump is to realize how close he is to losing republicans. They have depleted public and capitol hill and tension from healthcare. America hold elections every two years and mr. Trumps policy allies in congress will drift away if he looks like a liability. The Washington Post right rights the Justice Department must appoint a independent investigator. Some of the things mr. Trump has done may have been illegal legal but inappropriate. Some of the things mr. Trump has done such as terminating mr. Omey, may have been legal House Speaker paul ryan and Mitch Mcconnell can no longer duck these issues in an effort to focus on the gop agenda. The russiacomey fiasco is now the countrys agenda. Mr. Trump, if his denials are true, should welcome an independent inquiry. Linda on our independent line in little falls, minnesota. Caller i agree fully with the last two. They stole my thunder, just about every word practically i was going to say, the last two calls. ,ne thing i could add is everybody in the whole United States had better get on their knees and start praying. That is the only thing that is going to help this nation. Host herald in tacoma, washington, republican line. Caller am i on . Host you are on, go ahead. Caller i think it is the russians playing us. They have very intelligent people, but they are too close to the situation. At, basicallyook they are saying who is telling this . Who is telling that . That is playing into the russians game of all of us saying, what is going on . We are just getting worse and worse about who is doing this and that. Us russians are laughing at and i think basically we need to and basically think about who has really talked about what. That in mind, what do you think about this memo . Specifically the contents . Caller i think basically that that is real. I think trump does make mistakes but then again, he is not the one making it. I think the russians basically know what is going on and they are feeding back the information we are getting giving them, and getting us a lot of turmoil and getting a subset. Host getting us upset. Host out of texas, the papers reporting on someone who was considered a contender for the fbi position, john cornyn, they are saying he has told the Trump Administration he is not interested in serving, making him the second member of congress to take himself out of the running. Tuesdayin a statement he would rather remain in the senate. Now more than ever the country needs a well credentialed fbi director. Another republican whose name had been mentioned as a possible candidate, republican trey gowdy of South Carolina, had taken himself out of the running. Federal Appeals Court judge he is happyand said and his job and has no interest in leaving. Caller how are you doing . Host fine, thank you. Caller if you comments about President Trump. I would like to say they i hope they do not let him go overseas with all of these Different Countries because he is not to be trusted. Everything he says is a lie. Goes, if trump dont come up with the truth, it is going to be obstructing of justice. Does anybody have any input on that . Host what is tim in new hampshire. Coming off of twitter, Adam Kinzinger saying this about the whole situation i think we are at a point where it is time for a independent commission or special prosecutor or whatever. The Associated Press reporting that president Vladimir Putin dismisses the scandal involving trump sharing intelligence with russia as schizophrenia. Putin said russia is willing to hand over records of President Trumps talks with mr. Lab rob. L avrov. Tom in ohio, independent line. Caller i dont believe this memo is anything other than a frame. If you look at the way he talked in the memo, it was him asking a question. I think the democrats are trying to force their agenda after they lost the agenda. Saying the waye the president said what he said does not necessarily suggest anything on the level of obstruction of justice . Caller i think he was asking a simple question as he was coming into the office, if the memo is true. If the memo was true, he was just asking a question saying, i ,now this guy, he is a good guy is there any way this will go away . I think the democrats have russian drum until the American People are tired of hearing it, and they are shooting themselves in the foot. Host do you think some democrats and republicans calling for the idea of a special prosecutor, do you think that would be helpful . Caller i think the democrats try to spend more and more of the taxpayers money to keep the president from doing what he needs to do. Host one of those democrats ,ommenting was Chuck Schumer took to the senate floor to talk about the comey memo. A week full of revelation after revelation on a day when we thought things couldnt get any worse. They have. I was shaken by the report in the New York Times that alleged the president tried to shut down an active fbi investigation into a close political associate. Removedre only one day from stunning allegations that the president may have diebold just classified information divulged classified information. The rule of law, the independence of our nations highest Law Enforcement agencies are bouncing. The country is being tested in unprecedented ways. I say to all of my colleagues in the senate, history is watching. Host heres the headline once again from the New York Times, is stored we are getting your comments on a story we are getting your comments on. Notes, ad off memorandum shared by fbi officials. Getting your thoughts for the next 15 minutes or so. Tom in hamilton, ohio, independent. Caller my name is tom and good morning to you. Like i said, i dont believe , or that memo either exists even if it does exist if you look at the wording with President Trump coming in he was asking a question. Go to gary, nashville, tennessee, republican line. Caller i think that memo is basically an explanation that trump wants to get the thing finished, we do not need to spend all of this time on it. Just complete the investigation is what he is trying to say. Hopefully flynn is not guilty but if it is, let it go. You do not hear any investigation into the fake aboutr the fbi used russia and collusion. That was found to be false information and that is what the fbi used. Call me should have been fired by oh comey should have been fired by obama. Becky in michigan, democrat. Caller hey, good morning. Host good morning. The thing about everybody saying these memos are just fake, i am so sick of this fake News Business that trump started. Dares believe anything they read in the newspaper or hear on the news. , there is anemo initial thing for it because it is a long phrase. They are taught, lawyers and policeman, anyone who does investigatory work and will have to it some time go to court to testify, they all take notes. Have you ever known a policeman who did not take notes when he talked to you . He may not take notes but he has his notebook. This guy, who i do not like, this comey, what he did to hillary was just beyond the ile, but you cant just bet he has a box of these things over his career over the years. You cannot write it down because then they will quit talking so you just sit and listen. As you get back to the office and sit down at your computer and write it down as best you can, and anything you are absolutely sure was right, you put it in quotes. , you may havee gotten a few words wrong. Those things are used as evidence. Did you hear any of the republicans say it wasnt evidence . No, because they know better. In milwaukee, wisconsin, independent line. Caller i just want to say that i did not vote for trump, but i had hoped he would be a good president after he got in office. I have voted for a lot of president s, some have one, some of lost, but i have always voted for the best because it would be good for the country. Why these people are sticking by him when he lies, and it is out of his own mouth. You see that tv, and then he contradicts himself, it is absolutely ridiculous. Say what is all good for the contrary . Host what do you think of the comment of the memo . Caller they are saying that it wasnt sent to anybody. It was actually reported on the news it was sent to certain people within the fbi, so i believe it host . Host why . Caller if it was sent out to different people, why did he ask different people to leave the room . He knew what he was going to do. It is just ridiculous that people can believe anything he says. It is just like when he was running for election and said he could go out and kill somebody. It is crazy that you people are standing by him, and he just keeps lying. Next in host jim is new castle, delaware, republican line. Caller this has to stop. Any conversation you have that the president should remain confidential. Mr. Coley had this record supposedly all the way to february, why did he wait so long to bring it out . Is this sour grapes . The swamp is fighting back and we never knew it would be this deep and offended by an outsider coming in. A nonpolitician can come in and accomplish a lot, it makes them look totally useless. He is being set up and treated unfairly and this has to stop because this is the big threat to National Security, not donald trump. These people, these democrats are using a tactic where you blame the opposition for your own sins. The nonsense has to stop. They need to get rid of the leakers. Host what you think about the contents of the notes . Caller he said, i wish, he did not say stop the investigation. You would layh off mr. Flynn because he is a good person and has done a lot for the American People. Off. Hould lay hope he kept saying, i that you can let this go. Caller hope is different than a command. Host you are thinking nothing suggests obstruction of justice . It is thet at all, president having a private conversation and expressing his hope that you lay off this mr. Flynn who is a patriot and is doing this job. It is the swamp trying to suck mr. Trump down. This has to stop because it is destroying the country. Host anderson island, washington state, barber on the democrat line. Line. Bara on the democrat caller if it is true, it is very angering and it is surprising that only 38 of our population believes mr. Trump can do no wrong. The majority of people in this country voted for someone else and the sooner we figure that out the better off we will be. Host what particular about these statements is damning . Caller i think anytime you try to influence Law Enforcement when potentially you are under investigation, that it is just wrong. It is wrong on so many levels, and this man is supposed to be the highest person in our country. She is supposed to be beyond reproach. In taxes, thee more we will understand what is going on. Host in maryland on the independent line, jerry, good morning. Haser i think trump displayed a pattern of behavior where he says things then takes them back. This whole thing about asking him to lay off flynn, he did it once before. First he said, you have to be able to trust your guy and then he comes back the next day and further reason he comes back and says, he is a great guy. Which is it, untrustworthy or a great guy . He does so much stuff and denies it and it is a pattern. Host republican line, jerry in new mexico. Go ahead. Comey i believe that the is a tape because they said the files are locked away and stored. Then i also think there may be edded reporter posing as a white house aide. Host so you think they are a total fabrication even though this was released to fbi associates and other associates . Caller they said it was read to the post or whoever it was, it would reread it was read to them. If they are locked away, how could that memo be true if it is file away . From one more call, rita nebraska, democrats line. Caller these people that are Backing Trump need to wake up. This is ridiculous. Seemed like. Comey an incredible guy. Host tell us about the memo and why you think esther comey is right. Mr. Comey is right. Caller from what the fbi people has said from the history of working with him, he is a very credible guy.
