The leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday asked the FBI to turn over memos prepared by former Director James Comey detailing conversations he had with the White House and Justice Department about the FBI’s Russia investigations.

Separately, four top members of the Senate Judiciary Committee wrote separately to the FBI and to the White House seeking any documents that detail communications between the fired FBI director and Trump, as well as other paperwork on the matter stemming back to the Obama administration.

“We need all those memos,” Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said in an interview. “We’re going to try to get not just the Comey memo as you heard in my letter, but all memos, all communications between everybody — Comey, and other people in the hierarchy — and throughout the organization, wherever we have to, and over a long period of time.”

The senators requesting the documents — Grassley and Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) — said they want the records by May 24. Grassley also said in the interview that he will "probably, yes" call Comey to testify before his committee.

they ever receive said documents? ??????

5. They are getting ready to politicize them into uselessness.

Let's not kid ourselves. They want every memo Comey has ever written, not just memos regarding Trump. Stand by for a mountain of bullshit.

7. Yes, Grassley might as well have said:

"We're going to scour everything James Comey has written since 2008 until we find something we can use to pin this all on Obama".

8. Luckily Comey only has memos from when he thought things seemed "hinky" - All conversations w DT

When conversations were consistetent w public statements, seemed honest and above board there was no reason to take detailed notes.
