I didn't even bother watching it. I just watched some op-ed outakes. There's little point in tuning in to this stuff, as we know it's all fake news.
SpecialOlympian wrote:Oh no. He took notes: the absolute most basic step of any criminal investigation.
There is no criminal investigation. There is a counter-intelligence investigation into Russia interfering in the election. The only collusion proven so far is the DNC and the media colluding to provide Hillary with debate questions, allowing Hillary and her staff to edit news stories, and working with the DNC and Soros-funded groups like Black Lives Matter to harass the Bernie Sanders campaign.
Comey Was The First To Call A Private, One-On-One Meeting With TrumpSpecialOlympian wrote:Also it's nice to see I've gotten under your skin and Hong Wu's. And that, once again, you keep going back to the election because there has been nothing to cheer for ever since the inauguration, when everything went wrong.
The entire narrative is positing a theory that Trump colluded with Russia on the election. Even long-time Democrats are disillusioned with what the Democrats are doing. Without the election, there is no story.
Dershowitz: Comey confirms that I'm right - and all the Democratic commentators are wrongAlan Dershowitz wrote:Now that even former Director Comey has acknowledged that the Constitution would permit the president to direct the Justice Department and the FBI in this matter, let us put the issue of obstruction of justice behind us once and for all and focus on the political, moral, and other non-criminal aspects of President Trump’s conduct.
Of course, Rush's take is funnier:

Really? You find this sexually arousing? Comey said he was uncomfortable meeting alone with Trump, but he called the first one on one meeting with Trump to discuss the fake news story about Trump getting urinated on by Russian prostitutes in a bed slept in by Barack and Michelle Obama. Comey was playing games, and he got called on it.

That's why people like Mark Dice have 1M subscribers. More people view his taunts of CNN, MSNBC, etc than others actually watch those networks.
James Comey’s Latest Statement Is An Indictment Of Comey, Not TrumpOther than Dershowitz pointing out the obvious--the president cannot obstruct justice--I think this article identifies Comey's game:
Sean Davis wrote:Not until after he was fired did Comey suddenly decide to inform the public of all these interactions that he said made him so uncomfortable. Comey’s similar refusal during his tenure to inform the public that the president was not being investigated is also clear evidence of the keep-my-job-at-all-costs game he was playing (if this game looks familiar, it’s the exact same one he played when he took the fall for then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s refusal to prosecute Clinton in 2016). What better way to insure yourself against being fired than to give the impression that you are overseeing a grave investigation of potential wrongdoing by your boss?
The public impression that Trump was being criminally investigated, amplified by the president’s critics in the media, was effectively Comey’s get-out-of-jail-free card. The former FBI director likely assumed that no president would be crazy enough to fire a man whom the public believed to be investigating the president. Only a madman would fire that guy, right? Everyone in Washington knows how this game is played. They all know the tune by heart.
Unfortunately for Comey, Trump had no intention of playing that game and dancing that dance. What really happened is that Trump was wise to Comey’s con and finally had enough of it. He figured out what Comey was doing — deliberately refusing to correct a factually inaccurate impression of the FBI’s ongoing investigation as a means of protecting his job — and called his bluff.
That essentially nailed it. Comey also did this with the intention of getting a special prosecutor appointed when he already knew that the president had committed no crime, and neither did Flynn. There is at this point no probable cause to believe that Trump did anything illegal. Comey leaked the memos after he was fired. Whereas, the special prosecutor can claim immunity from malicious prosecution, Comey can no longer claim sovereign, prosecutorial, or judicial immunity with respect to causing a criminal investigation to be instituted when he knew there was no probable cause. He was a private citizen, even if only for a day or two. Comey admitted this under oath before the United States Senate.
Did Comey Violate Laws In Leaking The Trump Memo?Besides being subject to Nondisclosure Agreements, Comey falls under federal laws governing the disclosure of classified and nonclassified information. Assuming that the memos were not classified (though it seems odd that it would not be classified even on the confidential level), there is 18 U.S.C. § 641 which makes it a crime to steal, sell, or convey “any record, voucher, money, or thing of value of the United States or of any department or agency thereof.”
Yep...
By the way, waking up in the middle of the night (as described by Comey) is not generally the best time to decide to leak damaging memos against a sitting president. There are times when coffee and a full night’s sleep (and even conferral with counsel) is recommended. Leaking damaging memos is one of those times. Moreover, if Comey was sure of his right to release the memo, why use a law professor to avoid fingerprints?
I find Comey’s admission to be deeply troubling from a professional and ethical standpoint. Would Director Comey have approved such a rule for FBI agents? Thus, an agent can prepare a memo during office hours on an FBI computer about a meeting related to his service . . . but leak that memo to the media. The Justice Department has long defined what constitutes government documents broadly. It is not clear if Comey had the documents reviewed for classification at the confidential level or confirmed that they would be treated as entirely private property. What is clear is that he did not clear the release of the memos with anyone in the government.
Comey may be in trouble here...
