When I was stationed aboard the USS Nimitz (CVN 68) I was assigned to temporary duty for 6 months to shipboard security. My training for that role was minimal and piecemeal. However, we were all required to carry a notebook. We could not choose what type of notebook, we had to carry the standard notebook. Also, we could not remove any pages from the notebook. We could not erase anything from the notebook. We could not obscure entries made in the notebook in any way. It was stressed to us that this notebook was potential evidence for any encounter we had in the line of duty. New entries must be made on the first available page. etc.

Anyway, these notes are not taken as a one-off. If the notebook is submitted as evidence it is submitted as a whole. If there are any irregularities or inconsistencies the entire notebook can be ruled invalid.

There are standards here. They will be adhered to. I'd assume the Director of the FBI dots his "I's" and crosses his "T's" with the best of them.

Was looking at the news yesterday and I saw that Joe Lieberman is the leading candidate to take Comey's place leading the FBI. Was surprising to me because as far as I knew it came out of left field.

Thought's on him if he is the choice?

Bad choice in my opinion. Not that I particularly have anything against Lieberman, but he is too old for a 10-year appointment, and it would be better if the position was held by someone that is not a politician.
 
Further leaks pointing to "the Russian thing" as the reason Trump fired Comey. I doubt the "nut job" comment is going to go over very well among FBI rank and file....

"During a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak last week, President Trump told the men that fired FBI Director James Comey was a “nut job,” and that his removal would relieve pressure on his administration over its ties to Russia."

"By acknowledging the exchange with the Russians, the White House has effectively admitted it lied in explaining why Comey was fired. The “nut job” conversation is the latest confirmation that Trump’s motivation in firing Comey was not, as he and his aides initially claimed, Comey’s handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails; nor was it, as they subsequently claimed, a result of Comey losing the confidence of FBI agents. Instead, as Trump suggested in an interview with NBC News’s Lester Holt, he was upset about the Russia probe. A slew of other reports confirmed that behind closed doors, Trump was upset about the investigation, and Comey’s testimony under oath that Barack Obama had not “wiretapped” Trump, as the president claimed without evidence. His comments, and Spicer’s statement, also bolster allegations of political tampering and perhaps obstruction of justice by the president."
 
The New York Times is citing a document that summarizes Trump's meeting with the Russian ambassador and foreign minister for the following quote:

“I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job. I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”

In the meantime, the Washington Post is reporting that a current White House official is now "a person of significant interest" in the investigation of possible coordination between the Trump campaign and the Russians:
