James Comey's Opening Statement Before Senate Intelligence Released To Public

James Comey

This is fascinating.

The Senate Intelligence Committee has released seven pages of prepared opening testimony penned by former FBI Director James Comey (at Comey's request) about his interactions with President Trump.

Basically, Comey offers a timeline of his conversations with Trump.

Among many exchanges, according to Comey at a dinner, Trump stated, "I need loyalty. I expect loyalty."

Some reactions from Twitter:

Comey's statement establishes obstruction of justice by Trump. Period.

The just released Comey statement confirms much of what has been reported by investigative journalists, and derided as Fake News.
