I guess he could amplify why he didn't tell anyone. Though if I recall, his statement claims he *did* tell people.

and given those stories involve one on one conversations with Trump, that means Comey got them out
I feel certain there must be another possibility somewhere.

Yeah, he told other people. But come on, those leaks came from Comey :)

if Comey holds back, is enhanced interrogation an option? it would only be just.

He told other people, other people (iirc) have/had access to the memos. He just didn't tell Sessions. The question remains, who did he tell, how much did he tell them, who did he trust, and why? And while he clearly did tell other people, it is not clear he leaked any info, those other people could have leaked. But then, is it even a leak if it is not classified information and you are a private citizen? I think not.

I have memories of being in Sanibel for the week and my mom upset that the hearings preempted her soap operas so she yelled at Daniel Inoye on TV.

Almost everything Trump has done has been sufficient evidence of something. I guess it depends how much weight you give "sufficient."
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 8 June 2017 13:13 (six years ago) link
depends how much weight you give something, too

During the Coats and Rogers testimony, one of the committee members mentioned there was going to be a special session right after yesterday's hearing, and he asked them if they'd be willing to give answers then -- they gave some such answer "we sincerely hope we can". Haven't seen much on this special session since then -- but if it happened, kind of takes the wind out of these public hearings a bit. Anyone seen anything more on this?
― Dominique, Thursday, 8 June 2017 13:19 (six years ago) link
I hate Comey, but I kinda like the idea that Trump fired him for 'disloyalty', a few days later went 'COMEY BETTER HOPE THERE AREN'T ANY RECORDINGS OF OUR MEETINGS!!!!', after which Comey simply sent memo after memo to journalists.
― Frederik B, Thursday, 8 June 2017 13:19 (six years ago) link

The question remains, who did he tell, how much did he tell them, who did he trust, and why? And while he clearly did tell other people, it is not clear he leaked any info, those other people could have leaked.
These are some questions, not necessarily the most important ones, but ones which might be answered by, you know, the answers he'll give today.
I guess it depends how much weight you give "sufficient."
The first sentence of that article translates it to "enough", if that's helpful.
I think not.
Yeah, we know - maybe pipe down for a bit?

"I suppose I am curious what the GOP peeps try to hit him with"
lol they're gonna spend their entire time asking him if he knows who's been leaking to WaPo

"follow up : are you aware of any ILLEGAL UNMASKING"
Not really. Toobin, all sorts of people have called Trump's infractions "sufficient." But until it forces congress to act, they are by definition insufficient.
