New Docs Show FBI Agents Went To Comey’s Home to Retrieve Memos



Documents also show Comey’s claim that two memos he wrote documenting
conversations with President Trump were ‘missing’

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today it received six pages
<https://www.judicialwatch.org/document-archive/jw-v-doj-comey-records-00932
/>  of records from the FBI showing that in June, 2017, a month after FBI
Director James Comey was fired by President Donald Trump, FBI agents visited
his home and collected “as evidence” four memos that allegedly detail
conversations he had with President Trump.  One of his memos was written on
June 6, a month after he was fired.

Comey was fired
<https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-fires-fbi-director-comey>  by Trump
on May 9, 2017. The memos obtained by Judicial Watch were collected from
Comey by the FBI on June 7, a month later, and are dated February 14, 2017;
March 30, 2017; April 11, 2017; and one is dated “last night at 6:30 pm.”

The FBI documents also revealed that Comey recalled writing two other memos
after conversations with Trump that he claimed were “missing.”  The FBI
visit and interview took place on June 7, the day before Comey admitted
leaking the memos in testimony to Congress.

The new FBI documents include a June 9, 2017, FBI Collected Item Log which
states:

On June 7, 2017, at approximately 10:15 A.M., Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) Special Agents (SA) [redacted] and [redacted] collected
memorandums (memos) as evidence from James Comey at his residence at
[redacted]. The memos collected described as follows:

*         

o   One memo dated February 4, 2017, two pages;

o   One memo dated March 30, 2017, two pages;

o   One memo dated April 11, 2017, one page;

o   One memo dated “last night at 6:30 pm,” four pages

Judicial Watch also received a newly declassified FBI document dated June
16, 2017, in which FBI agents describe Comey telling them that he had
written two additional Trump meeting memos that he could no longer find:

Former FBI Director James Comey was interviewed at his residence at
[redacted]. This interview was scheduled in advance, for the purpose of
providing certain classified memoranda (memos) to Comey for review. After
being advised of the identity of the interviewing Agents and the nature of
the interview, Comey provided the following information:

After reviewing the memos, Comey spontaneously stated, to the best of his
recollection, two were missing:

In the first occurrence, Comey said at an unknown date and time, between
January 7, 2017, which Comey believed was the date of his briefing at Trump
Tower, and Trump’s inauguration on January 20th, 2017, Comey received a
phone call from President Elect Donald J. Trump. The originating telephone
number may have had a New York area code. Following the telephone
conversation, Comey drafted and e-mailed a memo to James Rybicki and FBI
Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

In the second instance, Comey was on his way to a FBI leadership conference
in Leesburg, Virginia (March 9, 2017) when he was diverted to Liberty
Crossing to respond to a request from Trump to contact him. Comey contacted
Trump from Liberty Crossing on a Top Secret telephone line. The conversation
was “all business” and related to [redacted]. Comey is less sure he drafted
a memo for his conversation but if he did, he may have sent it on the FBI’s
Top Secret network.

Judicial Watch obtained the records in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
lawsuit
<https://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-sues
-doj-comey-mueller-communications/>  against the Justice Department that
sought all records of communications relating to Comey’s providing memoranda
of his conversations with President Trump to Special Counsel Robert Mueller
and his team. (
<https://www.judicialwatch.org/document-archive/jw-v-doj-comey-muller-commun
ication-complaint-00932/> Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No.
1:18-cv-00932)).

“These extraordinary FBI docs further confirm that James Comey should never
have had FBI files on President Trump at his home and that the FBI failed to
secure and protect these private and classified files,” stated Judicial
Watch President Tom Fitton.  “Mr. Comey’s illegal leaking these FBI files as
part of his vendetta against President Trump (directly resulting in the
corrupt appointment of Robert Mueller) ought to be the subject of a criminal
investigation.”

On June 8, 2017, Comey testified
<http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/336932-comey-leaked-memo-to-pro
mpt-special-counsel>  to the Senate Intelligence Committee that he leaked
memos of his conversations with President Trump “because (he) thought that
might prompt the appointment of a special counsel.” Columbia University Law
professor Daniel Richman, a friend of Comey’s, reportedly
<https://www.politico.com/story/2017/06/13/james-comey-daniel-richman-memos-
fbi-239502>  “turned over copies of the former FBI director’s explosive
memos … to the FBI, sidestepping a request by congressional committees to
deliver the materials to Capitol Hill.”

The Justice Department previously argued to the court in a separate case
<https://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-just
ice-department-argues-comeys-leak-flynn-memo-new-york-times-unauthorized-com
pares-comey-wikileaks/>  that Comey’s leak of the memo regarding former
National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was unauthorized and compared it to
WikiLeaks
<https://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-just
ice-department-argues-comeys-leak-flynn-memo-new-york-times-unauthorized-com
pares-comey-wikileaks/> . Comey admitted
<http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/336932-comey-leaked-memo-to-pro
mpt-special-counsel>  to Congress regarding the “Flynn” memo, “I asked a
friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter [for The New
York Times] … I asked him to because I thought that might prompt the
appointment of a special counsel.” The New York Times published a report
about the memo on May 16, 2017. Special Counsel Robert Mueller was appointed
the following day.

The Hill noted in a July 9, 2017 report
<https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/341225-comeys-private-memos-on
-trump-conversations-contained-classified>  that, “More than half of the
memos former FBI Director James Comey wrote as personal recollections of his
conversations with President Trump about the Russia investigation have been
determined to contain classified information, according to interviews with
officials familiar with the documents.”

In a memo documenting his March 30, 2017, phone conversation with Trump on
about how to “lift the cloud” of the Russia investigation from the White
House, Comey wrote
<https://www.foxnews.com/politics/comey-reveals-he-concealed-trump-meeting-m
emo-from-doj-leaders> , “I called the acting attorney general and relayed
the substance of the above and said I was telling him so he could decide
what guidance to give me, if any.”
