Comey's paper trail

Mr. Comey wrote the memo detailing his conversation with the president immediately after the meeting, which took place the day after Mr. Flynn resigned, according to two people who read the memo. The memo was part of a paper trail Mr. Comey created documenting what he perceived as the president's improper efforts to influence an ongoing investigation. An F.B.I agent's contemporaneous notes are widely held up in court as credible evidence of conversations.

But the chaos that is being created by the lack of discipline is creating an environment that I think makes - it creates a worrisome environment."
