did Comey take notes of his meeting with AG Lynch? based on his standard for note taking, certainly this would fit the criteria he set.....

[stansblugrassgrl]

AMEN!

Cayle Thompson, KOMO‏Verified account @CayleThompson #Comey says he was confused when ex-AG Lynch instructed him to refer to Clinton email case as "matter," not "investigation." #KOMOnews

From the first time I saw Comey testifying before Congress he set off all sorts of alarm bells as someone who was pompous, self-righteous, disingenuous, a drama queen and totally lacking in credibility. And today he’s reaffirming every negative impression.

[clintonh8r]

Ok, now he’s just whining....and a little choked up again.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

What did he claim Trump was lying about? Or did he just use the term in a general way?

[miss marmelstein]

True! So I’ll ask another question: where are the freepers. There’s only been 45 responses so far.

House of Cards:

Kiera Monaghan‏ @MonaghanKiera More #ComeyTestimony Trump/Comey dinner sounds like Frank & Claire Underwood meeting Doug in S5 asking for entrenched loyalty!

[blueplum]

why is Comey coming across so paranoid? Maybe because of what the FBI was up to before and after the election?

[miss marmelstein]

He said that after his meeting at Trump Tower, he had to take notes because he “felt” Trump might lie about the meeting.

What’s disgusting about his testimony is that everything is says is supposition because he “feels” things and his “common sense” tells him things. Wouldn’t you like to be under scrutiny from this guy who only has to feel things to prosecute??

Most of these so-called Republicans are deep in the swamp themselves. Rest assured, Trump knows it.

[kabar]

Comey submitted his statement before the hearing to provide the framework for this hearing. He who frames the discussion wins the argument.

The Dems are using Comey's statement as the roadmap to make their points.

Comey is a nut case. He could have informed Trump about the legal boundaries that governed his meetings with him. Instead, he was more intent on building a case against Trump. Comey is part of the Establishment's war against Trump.

Warner’s time is up. Where’s Burr?

[isthisnickcool]

The House of Cards TV series is more reality than fiction. Most of these pissants are Frank Underwood.

Comey is coming off as a man with a plan.

[tshaun]

Who the hell is asking the questions right now?

[dfwgator]

For all intents and purposes, Trump is the first Third-Party President.

[Rusty0604]

He said he felt he needed to write down his meeting with Trump because he was afraid Trump would lie about it.

[Williams]

I hope I’m not the only person recognizing that Comey is admittedly making stuff up. He’s telling the committee that he thought somebody had told Trump to get something in return for retaining Comey but this is made up out of his own mind.

Good job by Burr. This sequence was important.

Burr: “Did any individual working for this administration... ask you to stop the Russian investigation?”

#Comey: “No.”

Burr: “Did @POTUS at any time ask you to stop the FBI investigation into Russian involvement...?”

#Comey: “Not to my understanding, no.”

Burr: “Are you confident that no votes cast in the 2016 presidential election were altered?”

#Comey: “I’m confident.”

I am posting tweets that are saying what is said..that doesn't mean that is what is said...you gotta check yourself


LT‏ @TassmanianD Dang. Comey says he thinks AG Sessions and Kushner knew something ill -advised was about to go down #ComeyTestimony

andreasgal‏Verified account @andreasgal ago More Comey: Sessions and Kushner both looked like they knew they shouldn't be leaving (when Trump wanted to talk to Comey alone) #ComeyDay
