He's not holding anything back. The FBI Director did not trust the US President because he felt he was a liar.

He will be the undoing of the Donald. Just watching now on Sky News. It takes my mind off the General Election.

I'm watching it all unfold.
Comey isn't in the same league as Trump. It's pretty obvious it backed fired on Trump when he found out he couldn't walk all over him or back him into a corner and have a " wink wink" kind of working relationship with. It's getting more like Trump fired Comey because Comey couldn't be corrupted!
Comey is far too professional and has far more integrity in his little finger that Trump has ever had in his lifetime or will ever achieve.

Comey describing the news media..."I was worried it would be like feeding seagulls at the beach."
Now that's funny right there!

I've been listening to this for the last hour or so. I have to say that Comey strikes me as believable and a man with integrity.

I think that Trump went to Washington believing that he could operate like the private sector and everyone had a price. He was wrong and eventually it will be his undoing.

Comey doesn't come across as vindictive or spiteful. He stays calm and presents the facts. The stuff he said about Russia is frightening. Comey hopes there are tapes! Release all of the tapes. He is very confident. All good. Comey is very willing to release his memos. He has nothing to hide.
ETA: Trump has never told Comey he was doing a bad job. In fact the opposite until Comey wouldn't declare his "loyalty."
Trump is going to be answering a lot of questions, he'd better get all his lies and deflections in place.
It's about time some of these lies get debunked and Trump gets what he deserves. He needs to realize he is not God or King. He is not Hitler, although he is close.

Hmm. I've been watching for quite a while and I fail to see how anyone could accuse Comey of being either a showboat or a nut job. He seems to be quite level headed, transparent, intelligent and thoughtful.

They are trying to get Comey to flub up, but he keeps repeating the same answers exactly as before. He does not look rattled.
The one senator is pissed that Comey cannot answer classified information. He won't compromise the criminal inquiry or the investigations going on.

I think this tweet from Greg Sargent of the Washington Post sums it up nicely.
"Current questioning: If Trump did not exercise maximal power to directly halt an investigation, he didn't try to halt the investigation.
The Republicans are going to circle the wagons and protect trump.

While I am glad he is testifying, he had all this information before being fired. If he was using it to build a rock solid case, great. If he was holding it to use as the ace in the hole, then I don't find that to be upstanding.
I Want this to lead to trumps undoing, but without more evidence, I do not find this man to be a hero. I think he fucked with politics during the election year and may have been instrumental in Trump being elected. Trying to right that wrong does not elevate him imo. It puts him where he should have been all along.
That said, he is cool and collected and I can appreciate that.

i notice he gets very passionate when he talks about the integrity of the FBI. you can tell he holds the agency in very high regard and he takes exception to Trump disparaging the agency and it's morale.

McCain is an idiot. The Clinton investigation was specific to the email server. That was concluded. The Russia investigation is different. If they are investigating Russia meddling, of course they are looking at both candidates. But that is classified and he wouldn't bring that up. He never once said that Clinton was in the clear as far as Russia was concerned. He only said the investigation into the email server was concluded. Very different things. No double standard at all.
