Are you familiar with what he filed with the court?
Mr. Comey. Generally, yes. I haven't read it. I read press accounts of it.
Mr. Gowdy. Well, how about we get a copy of that for Director Comey so we can be working off of the same piece of paper.
While we're waiting on them to get you that document, Director Comey, how about I take that phrase out and simply insert that McCabe said, "If you have a lawyer present, we'll need to involve the Department of Justice"? Do you recall that?
Mr. Comey. I don't. He could have, but I don't recall that as I sit here.
Mr. Gowdy. Jimmy, I'm going to let you go, so we don't have to wait on this document to get here.
Mr. Jordan. Director, in the conversations that you'd had between Mr. Flynn and the Russian Ambassador, was there anything wrong in those conversations, anything said that was not appropriate, anything wrong, anything that caused you to be -- caused him to be under investigation just based on what he said in those conversations?
Mr. Comey. I'm pausing, Mr. Jordan, because I don't -- I guess I have two concerns. One is, I don't know whether the conversations -- I think they're still classified, the contents of those conversations. I haven't seen them in a long, long time, so I don't think I can answer that question.
