It's a perfectly reasonable response to being stood in the Oval Office and having the sitting President try and obstruct justice.
Sessions' integrity being discussed, Comey implying there is dirt on him 
Cloud? Cloud?
Stop spamming this thread with crap.
Facts he can't discuss publicly about Sessions in regards to why the FBI would not tell him about Russia
hehe nice little dig at Sessions there
Under the circumstances, given the unprecedented and contentious behaviour of Trump, silence was surely the right course of action. I don't see that his "speechless" admission is derogatory in any way.
Oh my god her voice is annoying
Just in case you guys didn't hear, Trump wasn't under investigation. Compelling stuff, this.
Salacious and unverified material = pee pee tape. 
Republican senators sticking to the script for real.
Pee-Pee gate
Obvisouly bullshit.
Would still love it to be true :P

Just imagine the Russians having that tape. Would they release it now? Now. This could drag on until the end of the next year. Weaken them and get the decisive blow out later.
Does that mean we can't post any more of Trump's tweets?

It's one of the parts I think is most plausible to be honest.
Golden showers!
Jesus wept, the Republican Senators are pathetic.
Rubio lying

Obvisouly bullshit.

I would imagine it to be real -- if Trump can get away from grabbing pussy, something more disturbing has to exist for him to think its mortal damage if it came out.
Logically, if Trump said to Comey about tapes with hookers, then surely it must have been because he was worried about them being real and coming out? If he had never been with a Russian hooker whilst in Russia then he wouldn't have anything to worry about would he?
God he's so dim.
God he's so dim.
"You could have said, "Mr. president, this meeting is inappropriate...""
And the Republicans could grow a pair, but they won't.

Someone should ask why he didn't challenge Trump when he asked him to drop it, that would be a good question.
Oh wait, every single fecking R is going to repeat the same thing.
Dickheads.

Based on the GOP questions it seems they never had a real job. Why would you actively disagree with your new boss straight to his face? Surely just documenting what went on and saving it for later - as Comey did - is the best approach.
This woman sounds like she should be in a series making wisecracks about how useless her husband is.
Looks like it doesn't it. I'll use their time as opportunities to go pee or grab some munchies...
Finally Heinrich - here come the good questions.
Was Collins in the bathroom at the start of the testimony? Repeating the same question again.
Interesting that Comey hoped that tapes of the convos did actually exist
So that cements Russia's involvement
And the contrast dig he just put in there... meeting about protection against Russia with Trump? No. With Obama? Several.

republicans as usual holding everyone else to standards they never ever meet
Trump has never asked about the Russian hostile action!
That was as conclusive a statement as you can ask for in dispelling any myth that the Russia news is "fake news."
Nice open ended question for Comey to give his opinion.
Being the investigator he is he might have asked 'Do you hope so, or would you like me to make it happen?'
Yeah that's another thing, the FBI director purposefully leaving the President under the impression he would 'see what he could do' without having any intention of doing something.
For the record: I'm not pro Trump.
People saying this hearing might be a let down...
He did say at one point that he became aware that he had to speak to others because of the uniqueness of Trump's request - that he didn't want to alert Trump that he was concerned.
I think Trump will take it as a victory but will sell out his underlings to save himself later.
He's obviously implying, to me at least, that they have dirt on Sessions, as the reason he didn't report up the chain of command is because in doing so would compromise the FBI's investigation
The repubs are just killing time. Pointless questions other than one objective -- establish the fact that Trump isnt under investigation.
Why do they keep saying it was 'never leaked' that Trump wasn't under investigation?
1. you can't 'leak' a negative
2. it was said repeatedly
