The vast majority of comments on Comey have been very complimentary and he conducted himself very professionally during his testimony. Trump has praised him previously. Not a single GOP Congressman attacked his credibility or veracity or professionalism in the past few days. They were quite receptive to his testimony and the really good stuff will be done behind closed doors.
IKR? And the only one who has referred to him as 'a nut job' is who again?....

For example Trump's statement that Comey's FBI agents lost confidence in him is a matter of opinion, not fact.
It's fact. Numerous reports from all outlets about large number of agents threatening to quit because of his in-action/handling of the Clinton matter.

Opinions can be lies.

Fox News has convinced people that any old accusation is fine as it is your opinion. Free speech and all.

It doesn't matter. It's also fact that Trump is not investigated by the FBI. It's now very clear. Rubio said the right thing yesterday. It lifts up the cloud for Trump.

What facts about Russian collusion were presented in the testimony?

Meanwhile, President Trump was vindicated.
Comey resigned as Asst AG under AG ******** when Comey went against what ******** who had agreed with a particular bill law needed renewing every so often.

******** had signed the extension every time.

While ******** was in the hospital, Comey was acting AG.

Comey refused to sign it and resigned the next day after ******** overruled Comey.

If he was so principled then, why didn't he resign when Lynch demanded he use the word "matter" instead of "investigation"?

IMO, Comey's Clinton connections ever since Watergate shows where his allegiance is.

Trump's lack of curiosity is stunning.

Either he is blissfully clueless about what being POTUS is all about or he already knew what the Russians were up to and has no intention of trying to stop it.
This! I haven't been able to fathom how he has not made a statement about the absolutely grievous interference by the Russians in our country's elections. His absence of any remonstration is stunning! ...and telling, sadly.

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.
"and the President may fire him at any time for any reason."

AND as even Comey admitted at the first part of his session, the he served "At the pleasure of the president and CAN be fired for no reason at all.

They deny the polls. They deny fact based media reports. They cannot explain why he has so many unfilled key positions or leaks, except to blame people outside the administration, when it is the administrations job to keep it together.

You ask them direct questions, that are very straightforward, and they dodge them and throw up diversions. Very desperate stuff.

There are simply no threads being posted about Trumps long list of accomplishments since taking office. None! Nada!

I find it both entertaining and amusing and hope it drags on a very long time.

For the Dems, it is the modern day equivalent of tossing a diseased carcass over the castle walls and then standing back and watching the show! Except the GOP did it to themselves. LOL
^ All! Of. THIS! And why? Because THERE. IS. NO. DEFENSE!

Thumbs up Marco Rubio nailed it with Comey at hearing

Rubio nailed it.
At about 5 min 30 seconds, you can physically see Comey start to squirm.
Rubio shows why Comey is the FORMER head FBI
