I thought it was pretty obvious that Mad was making those up. Since it involves all the most stereotypical examples of how he talked in the campaign and all.
As regards Comey having done something wrong with keeping back the information on his memo: Uhm... pretty sure he can't or at least shouldn't be punished for that in particular, considering he was actively investigating Flynn at the time and doing such a thing might have impeded him.

Disgusted, but not surprisedSo for maximum troll points I think that the Dems should state that due to Trump's current lack of a nominee for FBI director they've come up with their own candidate that they feel Trump should nominate, a candidate that they feel has a perfect record and whose nomination would prove that Trump simply wanted to get rid of a director who'd crossed the line and that he was in no way interfering in an active FBI investigation.
