Comey leaking information as a "private citizen" needs to be investigated. What else has he leaked? And, we learned that Loretta Lynch asked him to not call the investigation into Hillary's email an "investigation," but a "matter."

Comey exposed the level of corruption that existed in the Obama administration, and also his own corruptibility.

Meanwhile, President Trump was vindicated.

After 103 pages (so far) one thing stands out above all else. No matter if one likes or hates the President he will NOT be impeached over this mess.
Yes it will cause him some political trouble but that's about it. It may well cause more issues for the ancillary people involved like Lynch or Comey himself (possible lying to congress for inconsistent statements) but there will be no legal repercussions for the President out of what happened today. Comey on the other hand has lots of explaining to do like how portions of his "memo" were in the paper prior to Trumps tweet and yet he claims that tweet caused him to leak?

I know that these facts won't stop the jawboning on either side or the hysterical bleating but I'd bet 6 months from now this will be forgotten only to be replaced by some other odd "crisis"...

Comey did not like Trump and did not "feel" comfortable around him which is not uncommon with a new boss. His other bosses left him alone and he "felt" good about them. Every time something squirrely occurred he was shocked or taken back and did not address the issues at that time or do his job properly. This was with Trump, Clinton and Lynch.

You can see Comeys prior news conferences and hearings regarding the Clinton email and server issues as proof. Back and forth, back and forth...."I felt" he used that term over and over instead of being analytical and logical in his job.

He documented every thing tied to his dealings with Trump because Trump is a wild card and had a history of doing off the way crazy things. He documented meetings with Trump because he "felt" that Trump would lie.

With a 30+ year job history in the FBI you would assume he had better cognitive and leadership skills.

The optimism on this thread is admirable.

Comey just tagged Trump a liar and not a single Senator objected.

This can't be good.

Default FBI Independent?

Comey was anything but "independent," and Mark Levin points out that the ten year term Comey mentioned in his opening statement wasn't to make sure they were independent, but was really a term limit.

Comey's opening statement was basically one long whine. I actually thought at one point he was going to cry.

The FBI Director is underneath the President, and the President may fire him at any time for any reason.

That is because hearsay is irrelevant.

Trump was vindicated.

So the NYTimes has a couple articles by women who have likened Comey's experience with Trump to sexual harassment of women by a boss. SMH and I am a woman. Please. Comey is calculated in everything he does and it is all about him. We can thank him for his service to the US but not be naive of his actions politically. His aw shucks ma'am thing is too much.

Impeachment is irrelevant.

Trump has managed to provide his opponents with enough to keep him tangled up for at LEAST another year.

And the odds he is going to stop screwing around and find a way to get to work seem diminished every day.

If Trump leaves office , Pence takes over and the GOP breaths a sigh of relief. Why would the Democratic party want that?

This is a huge distraction for the GOP and will remain so well into the mid-term cycle. THEY want him out more than anyone.

That carcass hurled over the wall is smelling worse every day and might even be contagious.

Ever heard the term "won the battle, lost the war"?

He absolutely was, while Comey raised more questions about himself. I do not think he was being honest.
