I'm shocked at the number of people on Twitter shouting "Liar" at Comey. Funnily enough a lot with Russian/Eastern European names...

I've only met with Bush and Obama. I never felt the need to document with either.

Says it all.

He's good. He deliberately wrote his memos so that they couldn't be considered Classified and therefore able to be released.

It was literally true that Trump was not personally under investigation.

W; Trump holding job over your head?

C; someone or Trump had concluded that they ask me to stay but didn't get anything for it. So had to create a circumstance in which patronage relationship would be created.

W; Trump requested loyalty repeatedly. Anyone else ever done that during your tenure as FBI dir?

C; No.

W; T asked every one to leave to meet with you alone. What was your impression of that?

C; That something big was going to happen. I need to remember every single word. I felt Kushner and Session didn't want to leave because they knew something big was going to happen;

W Did T ask you to interfere or take action in any other investigations?

C No. There was one other time he asked questions but did not ask for any action/interference.

"Thank you Mr Comey, America needs great people like you"

^ said by Senator James Risch, Republican

I love the bit when the Senator says he loves the way Comey writes!

This senator is annoying

B; During your tenure, the Pres was not under investigation.
C that is correct

C; ;the FBI does not 'call the press' and tell them that they've got things wrong

(hey all. my internet is acting up so may not be able to keep up)

B Re T statements on 'letting it go' re Flynn.

C I took it as the Pres directing me to interfere.

B; but he didn't ask directly
C No

Oh, we are getting into semantics now. Does 'I hope..' count as an order when it comes from the president?

Nice answer on why he thinks he was fired. 'I take him at his word that it was to do with the Russian investigation...'

This is an amusing article: www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40199662

Bars in the US making "Covfefe" Cocktails for patrons watching the coverage and one in Washington offering free shots of bourbon whenever Trump tweets!

DonJr is weighing in on twitter in support of his father, no surprise

He is just so damn smooth!

I meant Comey not DonJr obviously.

Don Jr and Eric Trump, two of the thickest fuckers in America.

Feinstein (D)

F why do you thing you were firedFeinstein
C I believe is was because of the Russia investigation

F your failure to pledge loyalty. What impact do you think this had?
C it didn't 'improve' the relationship.

F do you believe Russia played a role in your firing
C yes, the pres has said so

F Please go into more detail on not drop Flynn Investigation and your firing. Why did you not say 'we cannot discuss this
C I was rather stunned and was trying to phrase my responses. LORDY, I HOPE THERE ARE TAPES.

F what did you think he meant by 'lifting the cloud'
C That there was too much focus on the investgation and Trump couldn't get done what he wanted to get done

"I had great parents and great teachers"

Show us the tapes Donald!

Rubio minimising as much as he possibly can.

I can't help but wonder if he would be so relaxed and seem to open if he was not testifying as a private citizen. He really has very little to lose after all.

Being "honestly loyal" and "loyally honest" are subtly totally different indeed.

I find their flattering introductions to their questions extremely confusing (I am used to seeing court evidence presented here in the UK).

Why are there preambles saying "don't worry Mr Compey everyone loves you"?

Laptop totally frozen. Sorry no more transcriptions

A tweet...
"As Senators Rubio and Cotton question Comey, remember that they were privately dining with Trump on Tuesday night..."
