13. Very speculative with no basis in fact. FBI agents make memos to document criminal conduct, period.

You don't want an FBI agent to create a memo about you and a conversation with you, don't commit a crime while talking to them. Pretty damn simple!

I think Comey is a preening popinjay utterly consumed with his own vainglorious pomposity. Also, he's a skilled bureaucrat. 2/
So he began keeping a memo file. Probably had one during Obama years as well. Kinda like...Hoover. Who had files too. 3/
Maybe he thought when push came to shove Trump would call him to fire him and House of Cards style he might hint at having documents. 4/
The idea here would have been that Comey had to protect the integrity of FBI against extra-constitutional interloper & all bets were off. 5/
But he never got the chance because T fired him in that extremely weird way. Couldn't brandish anything that might make Trump reconsider. 6/
Point here is, Comey is not admirable. Is likely out for revenge. So what. Doesn't mean he doesn't have the goods. Finis. 7/7
