President Trump’s outside attorney is planning on filing a complaint against fired FBI Director James Comey with the Justice Department over his handling of memos on his interactions with the president, CNN reported Friday.
Sources tell CNN the complaint surrounds Comey’s testimony Thursday that as a private citizen he relayed the contents of his memos about his interactions with Trump to a friend of his and asked him to give the information to a reporter.
It is not yet known when Trump attorney Marc Kasowitz will file the complaints.
Comey said he needed to get the information to the public after he was fired by the president.

Big news breaking.
Trump's lawyer(s) might be ready to file some complaints connected with the new Comey boondoggle(s) from the June 8th Senate Hearing(s).
This could spell "D-o-u-b-l-e T-r-o-u-b-l-e"

As Columbia law professor Daniel C. Richman observed, “I suspect there is a real desire on the part of the government to avoid pursuing the publication aspect if it can pursue the leak aspect. It would be so much neater and raise fewer constitutional issues.”

Good for him. He filed a complaint against Comey for releasing unclassified information AFTER he was fired. What a tool. And this is the same asshat that got on national TV and stated as fact that Trump did not say things during a conversation where he was not present. File away fake lawyer, file away.

Trump claims everything Comey said was a lie. If Trump's claims are ture, then Comey did not reveal any privileged information. The fact that Trump immediately hired a $1500/hr. attorney to file this complaint...well, that tells me that Comey was 100% truthful in the hearings; otherwise, Trump has no complaint.
Reporter: "And you seem to be hinting that there are recordings of those conversations."
Trump: "I'm not hinting anything. I'll tell you about it over a very short period of time....Oh, you're going to be very disappointed when you hear the answer. Don't worry."

Well now, this is getting interesting. Trump just gave a statement regarding Comey:
Trump Hints To Press He Has Tapes Of Comey: "You're Going To Be Very Disappointed, Don't Worry"
Reporter: "And you seem to be hinting that there are recordings of those conversations."
Trump: "I'm not hinting anything. I'll tell you about it over a very short period of time....Oh, you're going to be very disappointed when you hear the answer. Don't worry."
It sounds like those tapes do exist. When Trump says that the reporter will be disappointed, I take it that Trump is confident that the tapes will back up his version of events.

It's an easy fix! If it's true that Trump has tapes of their convos, proving Comey is lying, release them to the appropriate authorities!
