there was a prior incident involving a basically a direction for him to call the doj and he had a threat to lee dine, i m not surprised he wrote him that. i m not, either, and also that s a great point that you make because it sheds light on something else that used to be clouded in mystery. would the president really ever go to mcgahn and say i want comey out, i want to go get rid of somebody? did mcgahn really have to say to him, calm down, don t do this, i won t do this? remember, the who u.ite house a the surrogates said that never happened. this thestory makes that story likely. this is the kind of memo you wrote, just as you said, you ve wherein them before. there are other stories about him having voiced things he d like to do involving foreign relations of the united states. where he s told by the defense department either he s told we re not going to do it or, yeah, we ll get right on it, mr. president and the phone goes click. understood. they are very different things.
