Yes , and if he has memos on this meeting I'd like to all the previous memos of meetings with Obama and Hillery.

The last paragraph leaves you with one of three choices, it seems–assuming the existence of a memo. Either Trump asked Comey to stop the investigation and Comey mislead the Senate by specifically referring to the actions of the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General and hiding from them an attempt by Trump to stop an investigation. Or Trump made no such request. Or, Comey considered that the comment fell into the category of “they give us opinions that we don’t see a case there and so you ought to stop investing resources in it.” In other words, he did not take it as an attempt to interfere in the investigation. Two of these three options explain the skepticism expressed by Senator Burr earlier today on the memo story.

I believe there is a fourth possibility. Comey did not take Trump seriously. Then he was fired and, in retrospect, he should have taken it seriously. The memo gains importance because of the firing.
