Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said Thursday morning that he hopes someone in the Senate asks former FBI Director James Comey why he only seems to have taken notes on his conversations with President Trump, and that his decision to "memorialize" those talks is not something that has been done anywhere else in the Justice Department.

"It's kind of interesting that the only conversations that were memorialized were the ones between Mr. Comey and Mr. Trump," Jordan said on CNN.

"I'd like to know and I hope someone asks this today, how come other important events in the Justice Department under Mr. Comey's tenure weren't memorialized?"

Jordan brought up two examples, including the decision last year to grant Hillary Clinton aide Cheryl Mills immunity in the investigation into Clinton's emails.

"How about when they made the decision to give Cheryl Mills immunity, after key conversations with important Justice Department officials?" Jordan asked. "Were those memorialized when that decision was made?"

"How about the day after that Mr. Clinton meets with Loretta Lynch on the tarmac?" he added. "Were those decisions, conversations that took place there, were those memorialized?"

"Lots of important things took place in other investigations. Why was this one treated different?"

Jordan's line of questioning is one that Republicans could pursue at today's Senate Intelligence Committee hearing. Republicans have reacted to Comey's opening statement by saying Trump himself doesn't appear to be in any legal trouble, and made awkward but ultimately harmless requests for Comey to be loyal to Trump.

But others have also indicated that Comey's decision to take notes on his meetings with Trump, and the leak of those notes, is a sign there are parts of Trump's own administration working against him.
