Or
more pointedly:
Republicans said the memos showed that the "cloud" Trump wanted lifted wasn’t Russian interference in the 2016 election, but instead the more salacious allegations in the dossier, which included claims that Russians had tapes of him with prostitutes in a Moscow hotel in 2013.
"There were no prostitutes. There were never prostitutes," Comey quoted Trump as telling him in one memo dated April 19.
And that Comey is out there citing confidential memos to sell his book while travelling across the country promoting it. Even as Demcorats and "Deep State" pro-Democrat officials in the FBI and DOJ suppress release of Comey's unredacted memos. To hide what is truly in them, the unknown ambiguity feeding Comey and the Democrats' narrative.
But bottom line, there's no "there" there in the memos. Even in the case of prosecuting Michael Flynn, Trump only asks if it's necessary to prosecute him, and if it's possible to not pursue that.
Comey has expressed elsewhere that he was intimidated by Trump. The 6' 6" director of the FBI, veteran of a thousand battles, was intimidated by Trump?!?
Please.
He also described how Trump was "like a mob boss", and how Trump "embraced me the first time we met" and how Comey tried to resist too close of contact." Laura Ingraham said "what guy uses the words 'we embraced'" and mocked Comey's book quote as "like something out of a Harlequin romance novel."
Lou Dobbs in similarly quoting Comey writing of his every uncomfortable and intimidated moment with Trump said: "This guy must be the most delicate daffodil at the FBI!"
In any case, there's nothing there to back a Russia collusion allegation.
