Do you believe that Donald Trump conspired with House Republicans to tear down Comey...? [View all]

...with the release of the Comey memos?

From the way Trump has been tweeting for the last couple of days, we might deduce that it was his idea?

However, there seems to be a small clog in their conspiracy plan. In leaking the memos, the people were able to see with their own eyes and draw a comparison between the two men, Trump and Comey.

Trump does not come out looking good. Comey comes out looking like the more honest and more truthful person. Trump looks dishonest and conniving. Trump is clearly the loser when the two men are compared in the memos.

It was a political mistake by Trump and his Republican conspirators. Although they are working doubly-hard to try and fix their "mistake", the damage has been done. Their plan to destroy the most credible witness for the prosecution has failed.

Is it true that the Comey memos were "unclassified" and remain so today? kentuck Apr 2018 #6

No. Look at them yourself and you'll see the Classified headings and the redactions! Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2018 #7

Did Comey classify and "redact" them by himself? kentuck Apr 2018 #10

No! Again, look at the memos. Somebody else's signature is on them de-classifying them. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2018 #12

Did Comey give them that option in his memos? kentuck Apr 2018 #14

Look at the scanned memos. Not typed in copies. They are online. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2018 #15
