James Comey posted:

I can recall nine one-on-one conversations with
President Trump in four months – three in person and six on the phone.

...January 27 Dinner...

...February 14 Oval Office Meeting...

...March 30 Phone Call...

...April 11 Phone Call...

That was the last time I spoke with President Trump.

Can it be inferred from this that there are 5 additional memos, as-of-yet unrelased (or classified)? Or is this the extent of what Comey transcribed?

Why are so many people getting hyped for pisstape from this? Just bad reading comprehension, or simply because we've all wanted it for so long?

Because without being prompted, Trump complains about "I didn't have anything to do with Russian hookers! I knew I was being recorded the whole time I was in Russia!!" He is super dumb and often blurts out the dumbest poo poo, cf. the Lester Holt interview :shrug:

No you didn't, Donald. You totally believed you had privacy and now you are being blackmailed.

The most lol-worthy part for me was that Trump never even hinted that watching hookers piss on a hotel bed was like, morally repugnant to him, just that he is a "germaphobe". World's worst deflection

I assume those were the only four that he thought needed to be included here. It presumably also includes meetings where other people were present, like when he tried to blend into the curtains.

Comey: I'm sorry Senator but that incident is unverified and of a sensitive personal nature.

The dossier also said that the Russians reassured Trump that the piss tape will never be released because he was doing such a good job trying to improve America's relations with Russia, with the abrupt change in the GOP's party plank, talking about ending sanctions, saying we should be friends, etc.

They obviously can't talk directly anymore, but its always in the back of Donald's mind that if he doesn't do everything he can politically get away with to help Russia, then pisstape could happen.

quote:

I felt compelled to document my first conversation with the President-Elect in a memo. To ensure accuracy, I began to type it on a laptop in an FBI vehicle outside Trump Tower the moment I walked out of the meeting. Creating written records immediately after one-on-one conversations with Mr. Trump was my practice from that point forward. This had not been my practice in the past. I spoke alone with President Obama twice in person (and never on the phone) – once in 2015 to discuss law enforcement policy issues and a second time, briefly, for him to say goodbye in late 2016. In neither of those circumstances did I memorialize the discussions.

This seems like a very polite way to say "I didn't trust the man as far as I could spit". Even if no bombshells come out if it this is a pretty damning judgement of Trump.

The instinct of a true bureaucrat is to document everything, especially when they can sense that the poo poo is going to hit the fan.

I don't like Comey much, his "I'm just trying to be true to my position" shtick doesn't square with how he handled things during the election, but he has some good instincts.
