Lordy, Comey
Comey: I take POTUS at his word that I was fired because of Russia investigation and he wanted to relieve the pressure #ComeyHearing

Comey: "I was so stunned by the conversation [with Trump] that I just took it in…Lordy I hope there are tapes." #ComeyHearing

Comey only felt the need to keep written documents on conversations he had with Trump. Not Bush nor Obama… #ComeyDay pic.twitter.com/eKy4XewEU2

The FBI Director did not trust the President-Elect of the United States. He thought he might lie. Let that sit for a minute. #ComeyDay

Comey's opening statement confirms a disturbing pattern of actions taken by the Trump Admin leading up to and after his firing #ComeyDay

REPUBLICANS: Trump is too stupid to know he obstructed justice.
AMERICA: ??♂️

BIG TAKEAWAYS FROM COMEY HEARING:
1. Trump is guilty.
2. Republicans are determined to act like he's not.
3. McCain has lost his mind.

McCain
KAMALA HARRIS: Let's talk about Sessions
JOHN CORNYN: Let's talk about Hillary
MARCO RUBIO: Let's talk about me
JOHN MCCAIN: I got bingo!

McCain doesn't sound well. Like something is wrong with him. Incoherent…

The Comey leaks
Former FBI Director James Comey admitted that he leaked his memos about @POTUS to the press. pic.twitter.com/eRSKoLASld

COMEY CONFIRMS HE ASKED A FRIEND TO LEAK INFORMATION TO THE PRESS. Are you freaking kidding me.
— Chris Barron (@ChrisRBarron) June 8, 2017
Did I miss something or did Comey just say he asked a friend to leak information to the press? Is this a joke?

Comey’s double standards
Comey, a former U.S. Att'y, Dep AG & FBI Dir, seemed woefully unprepared to discuss his duty to report crime under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 4.

Not true Comey "did nothing" when Lynch directed him to lie re Clinton criminal investigation, calling it a "matter." In fact, he obeyed her

Lynch gets lynched
James Comey admits that AG Lynch convinced him to describe @HillaryClinton investigation as a "matter," for political reasons. #ComeyHearing

Loretta Lynch is having a surprisingly bad day in the Comey testimony
— Chris Cillizza (@CillizzaCNN) June 8, 2017
JAMES COMEY complied with Loretta Lynch's directive to mislead the public because it "wasn't a hill worth dying on" https://t.co/Eq677fEqNF

Did the president really obstruct justice?
1. Comey confirmed my view that under the constitution the Pres w/d have the authority to order FBI Director to stop investigating Flynn
— Alan Dershowitz (@AlanDersh) June 8, 2017
He confirmed that the President can order anyone to be investigated or not investigated.
— Alan Dershowitz (@AlanDersh) June 8, 2017
The President legally can stop any investigation any time he wants. Bush Sr. did it with Cap Weinberger: https://t.co/rLXpd6d3Ui

Trump, Comey and Sessions
Sen Blunt: If you told Sessions you didn't want to be alone with Trump again, why did you continue to take his calls?
— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) June 8, 2017
The gist: if Comey was so disturbed by Trump's take on Flynn & didn't want to be alone w/ the Prez why did he continue private calls w/ him?
— Bill O'Reilly (@BillOReilly) June 8, 2017
How this may end
Breaking – The Trump legal team WILL go after James Comey for leaking. He will face some legal jeopardy. #ComeyDay
