All you legal eagles, a question. DJT and then Dir. Comey had a meeting/dinner at the WH. There is a rumor that there are differing accounts of what was said. If there are 'tapes', as the President has implied there is no contest. My question deals with then Dir. Comey returning to his office and transcribing the meeting from memory after the fact. How admissable, what weight do notes taken after the encounter have against the opposing side testifying verbally from memory. I understand that the character of the two parties are viewed in a different light. What's the precedent?

Comey swore under oath on May 3 that he was never pressured by trump adminstration to drop any investigation

The whole story by the new york times is a lie

There is no precedent of this caliber. Notes do not have any greater weight than sworn testimony. Without corroboration this comes down to a hearsay argument and one testimony versus another.
