Yeah Flynn is absolutely hosed. Comey confirmed that he's under criminal investigation and because it won't affect the rest of the inquiry, it's likely open and shut.

Also the big difference between Trump and Comey calling each other liars - Comey did so under oath and with the specter of perjury hanging over his head.

Expect Trump to try and pull some ahit about lying under oath when he also perjures himself. Nevermind that his lies will be exponentially more severe in scope and damages.

How often do politicians lie in political speeches, and how often are they prosecuted for it? He's not under oath while tweeting, so....

Edit - not to imply that one should think he'd tell the truth under oath, either.

His tweets aren't made under oath, so the President would instead need to admit that he lied on Twitter.

A sentence I never thought I'd write. What a time to be alive.

He could just admit to lying on twitter, but it doesn't matter. Trump will never testify under oath; him being in a situation where he is forced to stick to one set of facts is his (and his lawyers') worst nightmare. Reminder that last time be pretended to be unable to read in order to avoid answering questions.

The takeaway wasn't things Comey talked about because all that was pretty unexpected, it was the questions he couldn't answer but to which he didn't say 'no'.

Not really, Comey is consistent about not answering when he can't. He's a person that you really can't infer an answer from a "I can't answer that here" response.

Trump's tweets are official presidential statements, but presidential statements are not under oath so there's no risk of perjury.

The tweets would be used to impeach any testimony of his that's contradictory if he was ever under oath.

Comey, under oath, stated that he likes spending time with his wife. She can hold that poo poo over him for a looooong time now.

His summary of what America is and why Russian interference is a big deal was also a really nice moment. The guy gets what being American is all about.

And yet he threw Clinton under a bus with his colossally badly timed announcement that likely swayed the shooting match into present-day Bizzarro World. I don't know what to think about the guy.

Given this testimony and his previous wrt the Ashcroft bullshit I think Comey is probably the most politically naive man ever but believes wholeheartedly in justice, for better or for worse.

I heard that on NPR and I'm pretty sure I also heard about half a ton of bricks being poo poo by the Trump staffers with half a clue at that exact same moment. Words would fail to describe the rectal spelunking that would take place if someone managed to get him under oath on this stuff.

Really hope the main stream news keep the no-ballsing going on this because our president is a man child and would not be able to resist someone calling him a chicken.

Bill lied under oath about having sex with Lewinsky, which led to the impeachment.

Supposedly he believed at the time that everything the FBI knew would end up in the hands of the Trump campaign via Rudy "9/11" Giuliani so it might've actually been worse some how?
