Catherine Herridge @C__Herridge - Given Richman's reported subpoena, I am reposting the related FBI and congressional memos we exclusively revealed mid-August.
Then-FBI leadership's strategic use of media leaks was designed to shape the narrative and may have crossed the line into criminal conduct.

Exclusive: I have obtained a June 2017 memorandum documenting a phone call with Columbia Professor Daniel Richman and @ChuckGrassley investigative staff.
tisan request for Richman to provide copies of the so-called “Comey memos” that documented his conversations with President Trump.
According to the records, five days earlier, on June 8, 2017 @Comey testified that “he asked Professor Richman to disclose the content of at least one of those memoranda to the press…
During the phone call, Richman seems dismissive of senate investigators.
“Professor Richman also stated something to the effect, of, ‘You do things by your rules’ and ‘I do things by my rules.’”
“We are so far out of the realm of normality.”
“Prof. Richman stated Comey provided him a ‘packet’ of documents as his lawyer, and stated, ‘And yes, I’m being vague on purpose.”
“There is a substantial extent to which I would raise attorney-client issues.”
“Prof. Richman also stated that he wanted to remark, as a private citizen, and not as ‘Jim’s’ lawyer’ or a witness, that ‘Your Committee. Man. If you guys want to be respected you need to do things differently.”
Asked what he meant, “Prof. Richman stated, ‘All this partisan back and forth.”
Asked for examples so that they might be addressed, “Prof. Richman responded that he was doing his ‘morning exercises’ and he could not think of specifics at the moment.”
