Either Trump or Comey are going to walk out of this utterly humiliated, and that makes me happy.

quote:

There are 15 full-time members of the committee � eight Republicans and seven Democrats � and the panel is considered to be one of the last bastions of bipartisanship on Capitol Hill.

The committee is led by Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and Vice Chairman Mark R. Warner (D-Va.).

quote:

REPUBLICANS:

James E. Risch (Idaho)
Marco Rubio (Fla.)
Susan Collins (Maine)
Roy Blunt (Mo.)
James Lankford (Okla.)
Tom Cotton (Ark.)
John Cornyn (Tex.)

DEMOCRATS:

Dianne Feinstein (Calif.)
Ron Wyden (Ore.)
Martin Heinrich (N.M.)
Angus King (Maine)
Joe Manchin III (W.Va.)
Kamala D. Harris (Calif.)

Supporting characters: Don�t be surprised if you see Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Jack Reed (D-R.I.) show up to ask questions or take a seat on the dais. All four are �ex officio� members of the committee given their Senate leadership positions (McConnell, Schumer) or leadership of the Senate Armed Services Committee (McCain, Reed).

evilweasel: Aug 24, 2002

fwiw i think that the biggest bombs to come out of this will actually be against Sessions, rather than trump

Comey's written testimony doesn't give him a ton of room to add in "oh yeah, also trump called me up on one other day and said 'by the way the pee tape is real but dont tell anyone and drop your investigation or you're fired'" but it does contain many hints that Sessions was a bad, bad person but had no specific reason to go into all of Session's attempts to obstruct the investigation and violate his recusal. He will have plenty of time to give the Trump stuff additional color and knock down talking points but I an not sure how much additional bombs he can throw there.

but we will soon see :ohdear:
