JOHN DICKERSON: Now, I understand the memos from former F.B.I. director James Comey are with the committee. Have you looked at them?

SENATOR SUSAN COLLINS: We have not yet been given access to those memos. I'm very eager to see them. As you know, the F.B.I. director memorialized his discussions with the president, particularly about his suggestion that the president directed him or implied that he should drop the investigation into Michael Flynn. So it's important that we see these memos.

Having said that, I do think that it was a violation of the F.B.I.'s own guidelines, which Mr. Comey helped to write, for him himself to have leaked some of those memos to a friend of his in hopes of prompting the appointment of special counsel.
