Question about evidence re: Comey memo [View all]

Just wondering if a prosecution for obstruction can be based solely on Comey's memo. what if Trump disputes what was said? Then it's a matter of he-said/he-said. I would like to think that the memo makes the case a slam dunk, but don't know how much weight this would actually carry.

Not on that alone, but it would be evidence to be considered. MineralMan May 2017 #2

I believe notes written by the FBI are taken more seriously than someones recollection. womanofthehills May 2017 #14

It's a little like a cop's notes in court Jarqui May 2017 #5

Sending witnesses out of the room. That's the clincher IMO. nt justiceischeap May 2017 #9

Maybe he'll claim he did that to ask Comey if he could see his dick. Jarqui May 2017 #12
