Comey, as a private citizen, can testify as to the veracity of these memos.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have our John Dean!

I'm more concerned about the leaks. Very disturbing.
"These leaks endanger Comrade Stalin's rule!"

leaks are important, but the talking point from the left is that the russian influence was problematic because they only illegally leaked DNC emails and not GOP emails.

Can't the same be said for these illegal leaks? Government workers, who vote democratic by giant margins, are illegally releasing damaging info to influence a presidency.

But they are leaking evidence of crimes and corruption, not the same thing.

I support leaks like this, but don't you think it would be concerning if things like this happened in the bush, obama, reagan admins, etc, and they never become public knowledge because the leakers don't want to harm their party?

But, what if, Bush, Obama, and Reagan weren't, you know, complete moron traitors?

The NYT confirms they don't have the memo, but they've "seen it" lol.

Guess I'll have to wait and see if another media outlet confirms this story.

NBC has seen it too.

WaPo has it, as does Financial Times:

Apparently Wolf Blitzer said this appears to be "an impeachable offense"

I mean, if Wolf is using the I word...

Can this memo be legally requested to be released?

Subpeona for sure... Sen. Graham is most likely candidate. He's apparently invited Comey to testify on this as of 15 mins ago.
