WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI chief he fired called the president a liar, but the response from many Republicans was a collective shrug. The GOP still needs Donald Trump if it has any hope of accomplishing its legislative agenda and winning elections, and it’s going to take more than James Comey’s testimony to shake them.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Friday boasted of the GOP’s accomplishments under Trump thus far, and promised more to come, making no mention of Comey in a speech. A group of House conservatives discussed taxes and the budget, with no reference to Comey or the federal investigations into Russia’s election meddling and possible collusion with the Trump campaign.
Elsewhere, there were few outward signs of concern from the top Republican officials, donors and business leaders who gathered largely behind closed doors in Park City, Utah, for a conference hosted by former presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
“The people in this room, who give money to the Republican Party and who are focused on helping get Republicans elected, they do it because they believe in an agenda,” Spencer Zwick, House Speaker Paul Ryan’s fundraising chief, said in an interview. As for the Comey testimony, “there’s nothing we can do about it,” Zwick said.
It all underscored what’s become a hardening dynamic of the Trump presidency: Republicans on Capitol Hill and off are mostly sticking with the president despite the mounting scandals and seemingly endless crises that surround him.

Hmm,ap reporters throwing a little wishful thinking into the article;)
Here's an old song I like.
Nope. No bias there.
The AP is always so unbiased...
Comey just reminded everyone that he is still a ‘Rat Weasel.
Let's put that through the DeSpinner:
Republicans on Capitol Hill and off are mostly sticking with the president despite the dishonest media and the seemingly endless attacks upon him.
“We interrupt this program to bring you the latest fake news about Trump straight from our news producers imagination...”
AP can go mount itself.
Republicans on Capitol Hill and off are mostly sticking with the president despite the LYING media and the endless OVERT AND CLEARLY BULLSH!T attacks upon him.
What an amazingly ridiculous and dishonest article. The Comey revelations? Why would the GOP need to shrug those off? The revelations were that a press narrative, including from the AP, has been repeatedly and in many cases deliberately false for many months on end. There is no “collusion” and there is not and was not any investigation of President Trump - those were more of the revelations. Further revelations were the corruption of the Clintons and the Obama Justice Department. And then it was learned that Comey unethically and possibly illegally leaked information to the press of privileged communications.
The *GOP* shrugs off the revelations? Looks more like the AP is shrugging them off and continuing with the knowingly false narrative, despite how it was blown out of the water. Shameless and outrageous.
What revelations? Did I miss something? Bueller? Bueller?

Nice try at the passive-aggressive mind games, AP!
Because of Comey’s revelations we know we were right about Trump all along. LOL
What revelations? That Comey is a lying leaker?
James Comey: Yes, I informed the President on three separate occasions that he was not under investigation.
Media: BLOCKBUSTER REVELATIONS CONTINUE TO MIRE THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY EVEN DEEPER.
Trump said that the FBI was in disarray. Comey has a different opinion, so therefore, says Comey, Trump lied. That was the stunning “revelation” spinning over and over again on a CNN chyron. Kind of like saying “broccoli is tasty” is a lie. Shocking!
And what revelations were those?
I must have missed something.

The left are like little brats having a temper tantrum.
Unfortunately for them, there is noting to see there and they’ve been exposed.
The author and AP are disrespectful.
It is “President Trump”.
But AP and the RINOs hate President Trump
as much as they do the American People.
So their faux news and preening flow like diarrhea.
Comey’s terstimoney easily a net plus for Trump.
Comey’s testimony easily a net plus for Trump.
