JUST IN: Lordy, there are memos. McCabe kept contemporaneous memos of conversations with the President & events surrounding Comey firing.
News: Just like James Comey, fired FBI Deputy Director McCabe took contemporaneous notes documenting his conversations with the President and others. A source with knowledge of what McCabe has just told me there is other documentation as well (unclear what that is).

WASHINGTON AP learns fired FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe maintained personal memos regarding President Donald Trump.
WASHINGTON (AP) The Latest on the dismissal of Andrew McCabe, a former FBI deputy director (all times local):
12:55 p.m.
Andrew McCabe the former FBI deputy director just fired by the attorney general kept personal memos regarding President Donald Trump.
Thats according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation who wasnt authorized to discuss the memos publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
This person says the memos are similar to the ones maintained by former FBI Director James Comey, who Trump fired last May.
Comeys series of notes detailed interactions with Trump that Comey said unnerved him.
The person with knowledge of McCabes situation says McCabes memos include details of interactions with the president, among other topics.
Its not immediately clear whether any of the McCabe memos have been turned over to special counsel Robert Mueller or requested by Mueller.

His biggest weakness is he truly believes he is smart. He is up against a lot of smart people who are dotting every i and crossing every t. One has to believe it is starting to unravel now for Trump.

Since Comey's firing where Comey alleges no recordings by him, I wonder if the FISA warrant was extended to include wire-tapping Trumpyboy? See, even McCabe can't just walk into an Oval Office or even WH meeting w/o an invite. Once called, it gave him and the FBI the chance to wire up a microphone to record the Dufus' questions.
Would that be cool?
