    No surprise to me as I suspected it would be he said vs he said situation. In the absence of a smoking gun there was not much substance in the hearing.

    So are the Chinese. This is all problematic to be sure, but lets not pretend like this hasn't been an issue for many years. We can all get behind the notion that there is a need for increased cyber security. We don't have to concoct a conspiracy theory that this involves corroboration with the current President of the United States, prior to there being a shred of actual direct evidence of such.

    Comey did have a boss. At the DOJ All he had to do was talk it over with him.

    The difference is that Comey is a patriot and honorable, as expressed by both dems and repubs in today's hearing. Trump's
    history has shown him to be unstable, a liar, and a con man.

    He did not mention the Chinese. He was talking about the Russians.

    I mentioned the Chinese. I assumed that would have been obvious. Cyber threats exist all over the world. Russia is but one of those threats.

    The Comey hearing has become the Democrats Hindenburg. All their hopes to "get" Trump went up in flames.

    My question to Comey is, "during the four years you were head of the FBI, how is it you only met with obama twice?"

    Twice in four years, and you are the head of intelligence inside the US? Nice to know obama was on top of things.

    The Russians may be dumb, but they aren't stupid. They certainly would have moved to cover their tracks in any hacking scheme.

    So is the US. What of it? The US not only spies on its own citizens, it also spies on its Allies.

    Yes, I think we all knew there was nothing to be found here. Hopefully, the stretching by the left is about over and perhaps go on to more sensible things.

    I agree, but a moot point as legally it changes nothing.

    Today's testimony in open session was devastating...and I can only imagine how devastating the closed session was.

    Demanding personal loyalty?
    Using his job as a means of extracting a pledge of personal loyalty?
    Behind closed doors request to quash an investigation?

    Comey said his job wasn't threatened. He said Trump had praised him just days before!
    With all the anti-Trump deep state people why wouldn't Trump ask if Comey was loyal to him? And Trump accepted Comey's answer.
    Talking to subordinates privately is done all the time. It doesn't indicate any potential wrong doing at any time.

    What *I* took from the testimony was that Comey is paranoid, why else would he worry about the President talking to him directly?

    You're right, trump may have been trying to cover up two crimes, lying under oath to the senate and discussing US foreign policy with a foreign representative without the consent of the sitting president.

    Not to mention collusion with a foreign government to commit cyber crime and illegal participation in the US elections. Nixon was a piker in comparison.

    It's not paranoia if someone is out to get you. Since Comet was fired he is vindicated of paranoia.

    Dream on, sister - you were hoping to hear about obstruction of justice, and you got squat.
    Trump will leave office, sure enough, but not until his term(s) expire.
