So media reports were 100% accurate, not that I ever doubted their accuracy. It's just shocking to finally see this as written testimony. It's official now.

Come on, that's got to be obstruction of justice. He literally told his FBI director to "let this go". If anyone thinks that, had Obama called Comey and said this about Hillary Clinton's investigation, most of the Democrats here wouldn't admit it's obstruction of justice they are not correct.

He also states that he only talked to Obama twice during the time their two terms overlapped, compared to nine times with Trump in only a few months.

And one of those times was the President saying goodbye to him as he was leaving office.

One piece of good news for Trump was he was not personally being investigated as of March 30th.

Yup and the other time was to discuss general law enforcement issues.

Trump claims he "assumed he was being recorded" when he traveled to russia.

Why would a non-political person assume that? Does russia monitor even non-politicians?

It's his ego.

It's his ego.

To be fair, someone of his fame and stature would probably be monitored.

So the opening remarks don't seem to confirm anything, new, correct?

As of march 30th, trump was not being personally investigated.

Trump asked for "loyalty" from comey.

Trump asked comey to "see to letting flynn go"

It confirms that everything that was leaked was indeed accurate and not FAKE NEWS like some have stated.

The problem is it will now be Comey's word not just WaPo reporting their is a carried weight to it.

FOX "News" headline on this:

Ex-FBI boss to testify he assured Trump he was not personally under investigation; was pressed for 'loyalty'

The White House propaganda outlet is hard at work on spinning this one.

Wait....what exactly is wrong with that title? It includes two key takeaways from the opening statement. How the heck is it not a big deal that trump is not personally under investigation? That's a big thing to confirm. The title also claims comey was pressured for loyalty.

Sorry you think all news should be solely bad for him.

I remember a great post on reddit that went something like this: "Trumpers you are 6 months into this administration an the biggest point you are rally around is he himself might not be under FBI investigation but the people around him that he had confidence an trust in are is.....what are you really fighting for right now?"

By the way, for those of those harping on obstruction, solely using these opening remarks, there is no obstruvtion.

FBI investigations are not considered procedures under 18USC 1505.

What an epic script, I can't wait for the full-length feature. Comey can make bank!

what time is comey's intestines tomorrow?

I know you wish it was that simple, but it isn't.

Trump may or may not have engaged in obstruction of justice under normal judicial standards, but that’s irrelevant — the only thing that matters is whether Congress decides he did so under whatever standards they believe are appropriate.

..and the goal posts move...

Why did he even ask if he was, anyway?

[Antonio the Sixth]

Seriously, this is damning.
