So, who takes the kind of notes Comey did?
Lots of people do that, and for many reasons. As a journalist, such notes were a contract requirement at one of the magazines where I was a freelance contributing editor, for example. Whenever I had a conversation with a software company regarding a product I was reviewing, I had to take detailed notes of all conversations with corporate people and PR reps. That way, I had a record of those conversations in case they complained about anything in the published review. From time to time, those notes came in very handy.
Many people also create memos to themselves about important telephone conversations, so they're sure they remember anything that was important. I often have lengthy conversations with clients on the phone. I use a headset for such calls, and have a document open during them. I take live notes on the conversation whenever a point of fact is discussed.
In many corporations and in the military, such memos and notes are actually a requirement, and for good reasons. I suspect Comey made a habit of such note-taking, just to make sure he could accurately remember what was said. Writing it down immediately is a solid, good practice in many situations.
As for what to do with those notes, if they're really important, I email them to myself with an email header that clearly identifies them and save them on my desktop PCs hard drive. Since my emails are stored in the cloud, I have a backup that way. I imagine Comey did something similar to ensure that the notes would be available under any likely circumstance.

Rock head was an associate editor? Don't recall that nugget bring mentioned.

Is MM posting Duh-uhhh-grade info because he thinks DU-folk are stupid? Or because he's trying to bolster their faith in this latest annoymorous-sourced "scandal"? Obviously "Both" is an appropriate - and maybe the best - answer.
Remember that "threat" Trump Tweeted last week that had Libs & Progs all aflutter? I wonder .........

I would say just post whoring and little more. He contradicts himself in the last paragraph or has established the department of redundancy department....

I document my conversation, too. That still doesn't answer the question of whether Comey's supposed notes are an accurate reflection of what was said. I noticed rockhead won't go near that question.
Right now it's "he said, he said", which means nothing.

Unless I've missed something, the WashPost, et al have not seen the supposed memo. Supposedly, portions of it have been read to them over the phone. So there are some significant questions:
* Does a memo even exist?
* Was it written by Comey?
* Does context change the meaning/significance of what the WashPost "reported"?
* If Comey wrote such a memo, does it accurately reflect the conversation?
* Is there a recording of the conversation against which the memo (IF ....) can be fact-checked?

It would be funny if President Trump keeps letting this play out and then produces tapes of all the conversations he had with Comey.

:whistling:
Like the old 'how do you keep an idiot in suspense?' Or the greater the expectations the greater the fail? Demoralized, angry opponents are a lot easier to .
Fitzmas is going to look like a day at the beach compared to this. :bouncy: Credibility ? What credibility. Smuck Schumer, Nasty Nan Plousey? Get real, the fools will flee to Barney The Green Mountain Socialist Dinosaur.

SO if there is a memo and Comey was so ardent in documentation, there should be the same for Holder, Lynch, Hillary, and Obama. We need to see all of the "memos."

Sort of like letting a fish run with the bait, giving him the idea he has a free meal, then once he has swallowed it, yank hard on the rod to set the hook...
