So When Comey Testifies on Thursday will it be??

All our Fitmas's come at once?
Very damaging to Trumpy?
Damaging to Trump, but in a first step type of way, that in a few years time will bring his downfall?
Not bad at all for Trump, no real damage?
Great for Trump, he will actually come out looking good?

May not be earth shattering to begin with, but it will be a small piece in the puzzle.

There's been so many piles of dirt around Trump. This will be just one more.

Trump will be around until Republicans see him as an existential threat to themselves.

therein lies the problem. None seem to have the foresight to realize towing the party line and being in lockstep with Trump is ultimately going to bite them in the butt.

To the rest of us, it's painfully obvious.

It will be evidence of obstruction to justice. I don't think Comey will go much beyond all the money-laundering, as that's still under investigation.

Rest assured, Trump will not come out looking good. Have you ever seen Trump do anything that makes him look good? The man is a stupid vengeful prideful overbearing insecure selfish idiot.

....refraining comment on other parts citing the ongoing investigation.

All in all, I think it will be a bad day for Trump in total.

I think he will give a general picture of being pressured by Trump to ease up on the investigation, but no new earth shattering moment of testimony. No John Dean moments!

I also predict the GOP will only talk about leaks. (I know; not a very bold predictions)
