comey uneasy. it is well known inside the justice department that comey had a penchant for keeping records. e-mails leaked to the new york times in 2009 show comey wrote to then attorney general alberto gonzalez four years earlier arguing that torture tactics were a bad idea and that justice officials would regret being pushed by the george w. bush white house to approve them. last week when president trump suggested there might be tapes of his january 27thth meeting with james comey, the former communications director for obama attorney general eric holder tweeted this. one thing i learned at the doj about comey, he leaves a protective paper trail whenever he dream something inappropriate happened. stay tuned. now lawmakers want to see what comey wrote down. republican and democratic leaders on the senate judiciary committee are formally asking the fbi to provide all memos relating to comey s interactions with his superiors in both the trump and obama administrations. plus, they wan
