Comey explicitly stated in his testimony that he leaked the memo (through a friend, because he didn't want to deal with the hassle of the media himself)
When Comey said that he was talking about ONE specific memo, the memo where Trump said 'I hope....." about the Mike Flynn investigations. Comey admits that he asked that, that specific memo be released to the public, 'hoping' that would cause a Special Counsel to be appointed.
and also that Attorney General Lynch pressured him to rephrase how he discussed the ongoing e-mail investigation.
True...specifically that he refer to the investigation as a 'matter' rather than an 'investigation'.
Which was pretty arrogant on the part of Lynn. She must think that the American public is too stupid to see that it was an investigation no 'matter' what she wanted to call it.

Yes, you'd really want this guy representing you, wouldn't you...?

I'd hire the actor who plays an attorney on Better Call Saul / Breaking Bad before choosing Kasowitz to represent me.

A) I have no idea about what the attorney said because I didn't watch it. It was something that I noticed myself.

Where? Are you saying you noticed it while reading that Times article?

His posts try to portray themselves as independent ideas rather than a parroting of far-right talking points. Just go with it - think of it as performance art.
