Nobody can prove what was said between Comey and Trump...

...behind closed doors in the White House.

But they can prove whether or not Trump asked to be alone with the FBI Director. That alone would be unethical with an investigation in process.

What did they talk about? Fishing and gardening?

1. A contemporareneous memo written by one party is.proof

In court, it would.be admissible.as.evidence, and.a nury would.have to.weigh the document written at the time vs
the oral lie.three months latet.

[Egnever]

2. Agreed that memo along with sworn testimony is very compelling.

10. Yeah, evidence, not proof.

I foresee a Republican push to brand Comey a liar.

3. unless Trump really does have some "tapes"

at this point, i wouldn't be too surprised if he did

[CincyDem]

4. If he's got them, they probably support Comey's summary.

Comey, for all his political faults, didn't get to where he did by being careless. While I may question his judgement on what facts may mean, it's hard to question his knowledge and veracity of the facts.

Bring on the tapes.

11. "Comey, for all his political faults, didn't get to where he did by being careless."

And Trump did.

5. Message deleted by DU the Administrators

6. a competent crook would hide or destroy such "tapes" if they corroborated Comey

i have yet to see evidence of Trump's competency at anything
if he has them, he'll probably post the recordings on twitter, and they'll confirm everything Comey says in his memos
and then Trump can complain about "fake news" and "unfair treatment" and shit -- he seems to enjoy doing that sort of "work"

7. Also, one person of the two has a reputation for being untruthful and it isn't Comey.

The Federal Evidence Code makes that admissible (but not specific incidents of lying; it's complicated.)

[Goodheart]

8. Nobody can prove what was said, but 100% of EVERYBODY believes Comey's version.

9. It's been said Nixon should have destroyed the

tapes. If he had he might have stayed in office. Drumpt might learn from that.
