WASHINGTON (AP) — Andrew McCabe, the onetime FBI deputy director long scorned by President Donald Trump and just fired by the attorney general, kept personal memos detailing interactions with the president that have been provided to the special counsel’s office and are similar to the notes compiled by dismissed FBI chief James Comey, The Associated Press has learned.

The memos could factor into special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation as his team examines Trump campaign ties to Russia and possible obstruction of justice.

McCabe’s memos include details of his own interactions with the president, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation who wasn’t authorized to discuss the notes publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. They also recount different conversations he had with Comey, who kept notes on meetings with Trump that unnerved him.

Though the precise contents are unknown, the memos possibly could help substantiate McCabe’s assertion that he was unfairly maligned by a White House he says had declared “war” on the FBI and Mueller’s investigation.

I haven't heard it asked, ever, why a candidate for state senate (Comey's wife, VA) needs a budget of 750,000 !!! compliments of Hillary's bag man McCauliffe. Absurd.

Lots of money for an unsuccessful state race. Would be interesting to know where it all went.

Trump did nothing wrong so who cares?

And how often/why would a DEPUTY director keep memos of meetings with a president?

Fishy .....

So what.

He is a lying liar who lies to the FBI...his freakin’ employer, who just happens to put people in jail for lying to them. It takes a special kind of genius to do that.

Find someone who believes him, maybe that congressman who wants to hire him. What a dork.

Comey confided HIS notes to McCabe. This is supposed to be some kind of corroboration?

My first thought was "This is why the cops separate suspects during interrogation - so they can't come up with the same story".

Not that I would accuse such august, upright former members of the nation's premier law enforcement behavior of such criminal behavior. /sarc

Every one knows liars only lie under extreme conditions and only for the good of the country and never lie in memos. Memos are sacred writing that any reasonable person knows speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
