Whoa boy! This looks like the beginning of the end! Fasten your seat belts, 'cuz this ride is turning into a quite the roller coster! Are you getting your money's worth yet?
Rep. Adam Schiff, who is a ranking Democrat member of the House Intelligence Committee spoke not long after the report was published saying that "enough is enough" and added that "we need to get to the bottom of this."
Schiff also said "If necessary we should subpoena (tapes) of Comey conversation if they exist."
Sen. Lindsey Graham said that Comey should testify before his Senate panel about his discussions with Trump over Flynn.
Comey had already been invited to testify before the Senate intelligence committee Tuesday about his firing a week ago, but he declined the invitation.
"OK, well, he's got to come in and tell us why," Graham said. "We're not going to try somebody on a piece of paper."
Graham also said he would consider a special prosecutor if Comey's recounting of the meeting was accurate.

Bumping this thread.
Breaking:
New York Times reporting. As part of a paper trail in James Comeys own records of Mike Flynn investigation a memo written by James Comey has been found saying that Donald trump asked James Comey to shut down the Flynn investigation.
In a meeting in the oval office on February 14th after a regularly scheduled security briefing trump dismissed the attendees asking Mr Comey to stay behind. trump is reported to have said " Flynn has done nothing" and "Flynn is a good man, perhaps you could move on. I hope you can see your way to move on " according to sources close to James Comey. The memo has been verified as have been part of Comeys own records and notes on the Flynn investigation.
And of course the Whitehouse denies it was said.
Didn't someone say just the other day Comey kept an extensive paper trail of behavior he deemed inappropriate.
You just don't mess with the intelligence community.
Nixon
Reagan
Bush
All had their moments.
But this. Well
Still developing.
Confirmation by nbc news.
So Comey is alleging Trump attempted to obstruct justice and he, the FBI Director, did nothing? Sounds legit.
He did the only thing he could do? He documented it in case records were requested for impeachment purposes.
You can't charge or arrest a sitting President for obstructing justice.
You can impeach them though..
Hilarious though that you spin this as COMEY'S bad, not Trumps!

Luckily there are ways to trace and track documents these days. I highly doubt he had it scribbled on a post-it note.

Memos can be audio with a time stamp. We need to listen to the WH audio tapes of the meeting as well. Trump threatened comey with them.

I believe Congress needs to open an investigation and then subpoena them then declassify them in order for the people to ever hear them. Correct me if I am wrong.
