It is not a false claim. Devin Nunes memo was garbage and was debunked..
1. Comey is a fired former Director of the FBI who ADMITTEDLY leaked classified information to a friend with the intent of that friend leaking the information to the news, it getting reported, and an investigation would be opened up on his own President.
-- Comey had neither the evidence or BALLS to take his concerns about Trump to Congress himself.
2. The
US IG already released a report specifically stating how Comey, McCabe, and other top FBI members abandoned standard FBI investigation rules / procedures and handled both the Hillary and Trump 'investigations' very differently than they did with other investigations.
Sally Yates testified under oath that the initial FISA Warrant Requests on Carter Page did not follow the normal steps, that Comey, McCabe, and the DOJ issued VERBAL authorizations to proceed with the applications / requests. She stated she did not even read the initial Carter Page Warrant request before signing off on it because - unlike normal - the leadership of the FBI had authorized it / signed off on it and gave the verbal approval to go forward. She said she did not want to question them or give the appearance she was doing to, which is why she claims to have signed it without reading it.
3. The testimony under oath by DOJ's Bruce Ohr not only substantiates the FISA Court abuses perpetrated by Comey and Rosenstein/Weinstein but also destroys Comey's lies.
4. Strzok's own text messages destroy Comey's attempt to defend Strzok, WHO HAS ALREADY BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A CRIMINAL LEAKER OF CLASSIFIED INFORMATION.
5. Strzok's lover-fellow FBI Agent Page's testimony under oath before Congress has helped permanently (figuratively) brand a huge scarlet 'L' for 'LIAR' on Comey's forehead.
There is an old saying that goes like this;
'The BIT DOG yelps the loudest'.
Comey is screaming his head off right now, pleading his innocence while lying his ass off and attempting to undermine the on-going investigations because he KNOWS he broke the law (and was NOT too stupid to know he was doing it like he said about Hillary). His co-conspirators - Rosenstein, McCabe, Clapper, Brennan, Lynch, and Baker - have all publicly thrown him under the proverbial bus by claiming HE was the mastermind' behind using the Steele Dossier in the FISA Warrant applications (NOT denying it was ever done).
He's probably on his knees making promises to every deity known to man, engaging in rituals where he has to sacrifice chickens or other livestock, etc.. every night in an effort to somehow get through the US IG's and the US AG's investigations without being indicted / convicted.
