Anyone crying "fake news" needs to ask themselves a few questions:
1) Would Comey let people keep saying he wrote a memo claiming Trump asked him to stop the election...if he really didn't?
2) Are anonymous sources a new thing?
Let's start with the second question first. Of course anonymous sources aren't a new thing. And yes, they can be very credible and reliable.
Now, the obvious answer to the first question is "HELL NO". If Comey didn't write such a memo and if he wasn't ready to claim Trump pressured him into stopping the investigation, he'd have come out right away and put the kibosh on that crap.
It's real. Trump did it. Because he has little understanding of government ethics and because he thinks he can get away with anything.
