I've been reading Bernard Cornwell lately - the 'Last Kingdom' series about Anglo Saxons and Danes in the time of Alfred and his earlier Arthurian series set in fifth century Britain.

All the kings and warlords demand oaths of fealty be sworn to them

Plus ça change...

Yes, sorry, that was from Senate website.

Quick work!

Suggestions on social media that Comey released thes docs in case the Trumpies tried a last minute block of his testimony.

This might be missing the point but I like it:

I'm still surprised that the Senate .Intel Committee released the piece but ........we're in impeachment territory now.

By the way. Has Huckleberry been on?

Quick work!

Explains the typo. /pedant

Former FBI Director Comey's testimony was released by SSCI at Comey's request. I asked a source close to Comey why he made that request. 1/

"Because it's a complex narrative that he thought required some careful reading before hearing it from him directly," the source said...
2/

"Also, he thought it would ensure the committee had time to formulate probing and useful questions." 3/

#BREAKING: Mike Pence abruptly cancels scheduled interview with PBS @NewsHour just after the release of Comey's bombshell remarks.

Thanks Pain.

I wonder whether Pence is off to look for a white feather?

So,,,what will Trump tweet?

Will he just focus on the fact that Comey said that Trump himself was not under investigation?

My goodness! I had to leave 1/2 way into the testimony as my mum was agitated and they asked I go in to calm her (dementia/care home). It seems that there has been a bit of a bombshell in Comey's statement whilst I was 'off line' (I'm going to read it as soon as I post this). Perhaps tomorrow's testimony will be more 'interesting' than I thought. The GOP will be trying to trip him up and 'get a reaction' from him, no doubt. Not gonna work. Comey is one cool, level-headed dude. They won't rattle him, no way!

As far as today's testimony, it seems as if it was much ado about nothing? Before I left it was just a whole lotta 'I'm not going to answer that'.

PS I've always liked tall, blue-eyed men. DH is 6'5" with baby-blue eyes. I think Mr Comey is right up my alley!

I think Mr Comey is right up my alley! wink

Hands off! I've got first dibs.

It's funny. He looks - behind a desk - as if he's a short man. It wasn't until I saw him with other people that I realised how tall he was. Which, of course, doomed his relationship with 45 from the start.

Presumably his hands match in size, which would definitely compound it

👌

Was it Kushner or Bannon who allegedly railed against Comey's firing? (Before it happened - those being the days when 45 seemed to consult with people on occasion.)

Illegitimate - I just tried clicking on that link to the senate website and (dons tinfoil hat) this is the message I got:

I got in without question.

Looks as if they've decided I'm the sort of person they want to see it.

Try going through the twitter link embedded in the tweet at the foot of p.10 (I think). I texted DH that link & it worked fine on his iPhone, so maybe they just don't want you to join in the fun...

Shhhh.

Are you on the iOS app, M0stly? That sometimes throws a wobbly about links.
