Comey said, "A combination of things. I think the circumstances the subject matter and the person I was interacting with. Circumstances first, I was alone with the president of the United States, or the president-elect, soon to be president. The subject matter, I was talking about matters that touch on the FBI’s core responsibility and relate to the president-elect personally. And then the nature of the person. I was honestly concerned he might lie about the nature of our meeting so I thought it really important to document. That combination of things I never experienced before but it led me to believe I have to write it down and I have to write it down in a very detailed way."
No 'notes' on FBI discussions with the Hildebeest. How strange.
