TIL: why Contemporaneous Notes

[timelets]

The Mueller Report shows that at least a couple of lawyers whose job was to deal with лживое хуйло as their boss wrote contemporaneous notes about his instructions. Why? I thought that the notes might help in a "he said – s/he said" conflict situation. Not exactly. It turns out that in conflicting accounts about an old conversation, contemporaneous notes have precedence when the other party is afraid to lie outright and claims not to remember the conversation. Therefore, it's not "he said – s/he said", but rather "I wrote down to remember and you don't have a clue."

As we know, лживое хуйло in his written answers claimed not to remember anything about matters relevant to the investigation. In the Mueller Report, McGahn's contemporaneous notes are cited to establish facts, esp. wrt obstruction of justice.
