In reply to the discussion: Trump should be scared, Comey friend says [View all]politicaljunkie41910
(3,335 posts)He was on doing an interview of why Comey would take such detailed notes and he made the point that Comey, just like all US Attorney's are taught to make it a point to never be the only witness to a conversation with a subject, or a witness, etc. If you can't avoid it, than as soon as you can, document everything as thoroughly and as objective as you can. This documentation becomes part of the case file for other agents/US Attorney's to use. It was said that Comey distributed his notes of his encounters with Trump to upper associates within the department just in case. Witt did not mention that he may have been the recipients of any of those memos that Comey wrote and distributed for safekeeping, but he thoroughly vouched for Comey's character based on their long term friendship and as a colleague, and was not surprised that Comey kept detailed notes.
