The origin of that entire memo story is from a New York Times article. I'm borrowing some text from a Daily Caller article that addresses the holes in the story:
First, the report concedes that the Times has not “viewed a copy of the memo,” despite the fact that the Times says memo itself “is unclassified.” If the memo is unclassified, then that raises several questions. Why did the Times not press the source for a copy of the memo? Why did the Times not seek a copy through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) before publishing? If it was truly unclassified, then the Times stood a decent chance of having the memo released.
Second, if Times’s story is true and what President Trump did amounted to obstruction of justice, then Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe likely committed perjury. Before Comey was fired, McCabe was the Deputy Director of the FBI, one of four “senior staff” positions and also the Bureau’s second-in-command. The Times report alleges that Comey “shared the existence of the memo with senior F.B.I. officials and close associates,” which means that McCabe knew about the memo on May 11 when he testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee about the Russia investigation. During his testimony, Senator Marco Rubio and McCabe (who was under oath) had the following exchange:
RUBIO: Mr. McCabe, can you without going into the specific of any individual investigation, I think the American people want to know, has the dismissal of Mr. Comey in any way impeded, interrupted, stopped or negatively impacted any of the work, any investigation, or any ongoing projects at the Federal Bureau of Investigations?
MCCABE: As you know, Senator, the work of the men and women of the FBI continues despite any changes in circumstance, any decisions. So there has been no effort to impede our investigation today. Quite simply put sir, you cannot stop the men and women of the FBI from doing the right thing, protecting the American people, and upholding the Constitution.
If the Times’s report is true, including the implication that the President obstructed justice, then the President’s critics are in a double bind: Either
McCabe committed perjury when he said “there has been no effort to impede” the investigation; OR McCabe did not consider the statements of the President to constitute an “effort to impeded” the investigation, which would mean no senior FBI officials viewed the President’s statements as an attempt to obstruct justice.
The Times reported that Comey, without material qualification, informed “senior” officials. Only four individuals within the FBI’s ranks are given “senior” titles, according to the FBI’s own website. Accordingly, if the Times’s report is true, then it is inconceivable that McCabe did not know about the memo when he testified that no interference with the investigation has occurred.
Third, the four statements in question that Comey alleges Trump said do not in any way amount of obstruction of justice. Moreover, those seeking to compare the allegations in the memo to Watergate are off the mark.

Shaking something up but getting nothing done.
This is worse than before because we at least got some output for our input.
As it stands now we are getting zero ROI from this administration.
It may be some "feel good" headlines but nothing is sticking or helping our pocketbooks.
Just nothing but a string of TMZ articles.

Originally posted by Hank Hill View PostI'd say the appointment of Neil Gorsuch is a good enough ROI on his presidency to justify his entire 4 years in office. But he has also signed a slew of EO's targeted at reducing the trade deficit and expanding oil and gas exploration. Oh, and illegal immigration has plummeted and deportation of illegals has skyrocketed.
