We don't know what he did or who he shared the memo with. However, the combination of events, the memo, the Comey firing, and threats from Trump, brought about the desired result, a special council who will take charge of the investigation.How could he face obstruction charges if he documented the incident and saw to it that others in the bureau got the information. He probably acted by the book because it was in his interest to do so. What we're doing is just speculating.If Comey didn't do his duty as director, what's Trump going to do, fire him.“The obstruction of justice articles of impeachment counts are stacking up, it seems,” an active duty FBI agent told The Daily Beast on Tuesday. Firing Comey, the agent added, was a “big gamble. You’ve got to kill him, metaphorically. You can’t just wound him.”
IMHO, Comey appears to be a very meticulous person that documents everything so I think we will see more than just this memo. The House Over site Committee has demanded that the FBI turnover all memorandum, notes, summaries, and recordings of meetings between Trump and Comey. This will likely contain the memo.
Trump Officials on Comey Memo: ‘Don’t See How Trump Isn’t Completely F*cked’
Guess what skippy, if Comey truly thought Trump was trying to obstruct justice and didn't report it, he is fucked. He has a duty to report. On the other hand if Comey thought it was innocent conversation, then this is much a do about nothing.
.
Apparently he did report it in his memo. It will be interesting to see who got copies of it.
Actually he could face obstruction charges himself, and possible perjury charges since he testified under oath that no one has tried to interfere with the investigation.

If he felt Trump was trying to influence his investigation, he was obligated to report it to the DOJ and/or a Judge.
