James Comey leaked the memos of his conversations with Donald Trump to a friend in order to force the appointment of a special counsel.
But now those secret documents have been made available to the public.
And all hell is breaking loose now that everyone can read what is in them.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein turned the memos over to Congress under the threat of subpoena.
And now that they have been examined, President Trump and others point out that the real scandal is Comey’s conduct.
The memos back up a claim made by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley that Comey illegally leaked classified information.
If anything, this impugns the judgement of Director Comey. He's the one apparently using the media to exaggerate concerns about interactions with the President. He's the one leaking government (and possibly classified) documents to a third party. Come on.

Trump made the same point and also argued that the memos failed to provide any evidence of collusion with Russia or obstruction of justice.
James Comey Memos just out and show clearly that there was NO COLLUSION and NO OBSTRUCTION. Also, he leaked classified information. WOW! Will the Witch Hunt continue?

These Comey memos were supposed to implicate President Trump? Really?
On page 13 POTUS appears to instruct Director Comey to investigate and find the truth about whether his campaign team did anything wrong. There's nothing in here even approaching 'obstruction of justice.'

Do you believe that Comey should be prosecuted for leaking classified information?
