Is anbody else paying attention to the timeline with the Comey memo?

The memo was after a meeting in February.

Trump hadn't been in office yet a MONTH, and the motherfucking piece of shit is so bold as to commit obstruction of justice!!!!

1. In a different way

2. The people asking why Comey waited till now have a reasonable point.

4. No they don't

Comey was still building his case, this was just a small part of the case. He had a duty to share this with colleagues and not with the public. He told exactly who he was supposed to tell to help the case. His duty was to the law.

5. Where's the rest of the case? He's released it and I don't see any case behind it.

If the case is still building, then he still shouldn't have released it. If the case is already built, then let's have it.

6. That he waited indicates an inherent suspicion of far worse crimes having been committed.

He floated all of the memos to the DOJ, but the fact that these never came out indicate that he was convinced far worse crimes had been committed by Trump and Company.

7. But then why release it now? Presumably the investigation is ongoing of those far worse crimes,

which seem to certainly have taken place. So by that reasoning he should still not have released it.

8. To insure Trump doesn't get away with shutting down the investigation.

That's precisely what happens if Trump puts a sycophant in charge of the FBI.

That's why it comes out now.

It was always insurance against this day.

9. OK. I'll buy that. Thanks.

3. The memo meeting occurred on day after Flynn was fired

and it had been leaked that Flynn had lied to FBI about his talks with Kislyak over sanctions before Trump was inaugurated so Trump was certainly concerned over fallout. Meeting included Sessions and Pence until Trump made them leave room so he could speak to Comey alone.
