Yes, Don, Jr. is live tweeting per Drudge and Bill Mitchell is tweeting some reactions and analysis as well, of course.
I’m late to this party. Is it that Comey asked a (government?) friend to leak government property (memo) to the media?
Columbia Law professor
Comey admits to leaking documents but can’t understand why Trump would be concerned about loyalty?
yes
I will refrain from posting more graphics.
FR is extremely slow and posting takes forever. It’s not just my computer, I guess. I thought they took care of those problems with the new super server.
It’s common knowledge all countries involve themselves as much as possible in other countries elections......that Russia did is not new nor concerning....rather the Demorats simply want to use it to keep banging that drum against Trump.
Same here. And is leaking his own memo illegal?
He was going out to hide? Hide? The Dir. of the United States of America FBI does not hide.
"Loyalty."

This is what Donald Trump talks about loyalty ... in it he says:
“If you have one person who is not loyal, it ruins your business and the people who work there”...
I thought he looked like warmed over poo, this morning. Like he was about to pass out or worse.
He knew all the BS he was about to spew and keeping track of LIES is hard to do. Even for an experienced LIAR, like Commie.
If only this room full of swamp creatures possessed a fraction of President Trump’s sense of patriotism and loyalty—and cared more about getting down to solving real problems—just think how great America might be.
I hope Comey buries any shred of credibility he has by the end of this dark dark day!!!
Thanks to all for commenting.. is this still going on?
This hearing removes all doubt whether the Presidents choice to remove Comey was the right choice. AMF Comey. Even tutu boy wasn’t this inept.
Comey made a point of characterizing this particilar memo as "unclassified," because he knows he ordered it leaked to the press.
If the memo is support for an investigation, and Comey said he thought it was part of a Special counsel, then leaking it is inappropriate, but I think an investigator's prerogative. It's just "evidence."
There were 629 Murderous Seagulls at his curb! Cut the man some slack.
Is it that Comey asked a (government?) friend to leak government property (memo) to the media?
No...he ‘leaked’ to a college friend to give a reporter that he had memos of the conversation between himself and Trump....to make sure the media got this.
Comey said he asked “a friend of mine to share” the memo he had written about his conversation with Trump “with a reporter.” He said the person was “a good friend of mine who’s a professor at Columbia Law School. “I thought it might prompt the appointment of a special counsel.”
The friend is Daniel Richman, a former federal prosecutor who teaches at Columbia Law School. The reporter is Michael Schmidt of the New York Times.
What’s Next for Comey? Probably Not ‘a Normal Job’
EXCERPT
In the near term, teaching is also an option. Mr. Comey briefly held a senior research post at Columbia Law School after leaving Bridgewater in January 2013.
Daniel C. Richman, a Columbia law professor and friend of Mr. Comey’s, who helped woo him to Columbia in 2013, said the former F.B.I. director “would be welcomed back, and he knows it.”
Mr. Richman, who has spoken to Mr. Comey several times since he was fired, said it was too soon to say what Mr. Comey would choose to do next.
