During a panel discussion on Wednesday’s NBC Today about the reported James Comey memo accusing President Trump of asking to the former FBI Director to “let go” of the investigation into Michael Flynn, Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd made clear what the media agenda would be for the next several months: “I think we know what the summer is gonna be, it’s gonna be the summer of Comey.”

Co-host Savannah Guthrie used the latest development to put pressure on Republicans in Congress: “Because now this all raises the specter over to you Congress, how serious are you about this? Are they going to get their hands on that memo? Are they going to let James Comey come and testify?  Where do you think Republicans in Congress go? Because they hold the key here.”
