          Sure. But note his frequent use of words like "arguably", "suggests", "seems", "assuming", etc. Far from an open and shut case.

          I hope that something insulates the investigation so Trump can't shut it down so easily.

          I highly doubt there ever was a memo...and if he has to produce it, he'll write it 10 mins beforehand.
