Comey: I Didn’t Feel the Need to Keep Memos Under Obama or Bush

‘I didn’t feel with president Bush to document in in that way because of the combination of factors wasn’t present’

EXCERPT:

COMEY: "And as I said in my written testimony, as F.B.I. Director I interacted with President Obama. I spoke only twice in three years and didn’t document it. When I was deputy attorney general I had one one-on-one meeting with President Bush about a very important and difficult national security matter. I didn’t write a memo documenting that conversation either. Sent a quick email to my staff to let them know there was something going on. But I didn’t feel with President Bush to document it in that way because of the combination of those factors just wasn’t present with either President Bush or President Obama."
