"The reason we've learned about the Flynn memo appears to be because Comey shared it with others who are providing its details to the press now. Perhaps other memos weren't shared with others or not with people who would leak their details to the press. And if those other memos do come to light and show similar exchanges with Trump, that's going to be very difficult for the White House to combat in the court of public opinion.
That's because the notes will have been written before Trump fired Comey, and before Comey had an ax to grind. At that point, the White House would basically have to argue that Comey created a fictitious paper trail without a clear motivation."
