Given the decision to continue the investigation of someone that is about to become the president, it is pretty safe to assume that Trump would claim that the investigation was political (really, who couldn’t have predicted that?). Certainly you would want to maintain a record of anything that would help support the case that things were done on the up-and-up.
The email doesn’t prove that it was or that it wasn’t. It just seems like a note to herself that she could later use to remember the dates and specifics of an obvious important conversation.
