1. Booom!

I HOPE!

[louis-t]

2. That's just the segue.

Wait until tomorrow.

[NCTraveler]

3. From his release that is what caught my eye the most.

That and what another duer reminded us of that multiple meetings were left out of his statement.

[malaise]

4. Delish

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahahaha

[keithbvadu2]

5. Not a problem! Trump can refute it by releasing the tapes.

Go ahead, Donald.

[gratuitous]

9. Trump certainly threatened him on that front, didn't he?

I can't believe President Trump would make an empty threat. Wait . . . yes, I can believe that.

[cilla4progress]

6. Didn't we

already hear this?

[Roland99]

7. And the framing is set!

Issue framing, that is. As Lakoff likes to focus on

[Honeycombe8]

8. BOOM! "I" expect loyalty. Not "Our country" expects loyalty. BOOM! nt

[calimary]

13. "Okay. Honest Loyalty."

OY!!!

Sounds like some cheap-ass mob boss. Maybe that's what he really is?

[joshdawg]

14. I believe Hitler wanted and got the same thing.

Loyalty to only him and eff the country.

German Nazi Army Swears Oath of Loyalty to Adolf Hitler 1934

19. Comey screwed up his response - he just sat there

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“I didn’t move, speak, or change my facial expression in any way during the awkward silence that followed,” Comey wrote. “We simply looked at each other in silence. The conversation then moved on, but he returned to the subject near the end of our dinner.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In my opinion, Comey should have replied, "I have loyalty. Loyalty to our country and to the Constitution that we both swore to uphold."

Then he should have walked out.

[MontanaMama]

10. You just know

that the pee pee story is true too. If he brought it up to Comey...it is true.

[Stuart G]

11. k and r...nt

[gademocrat7]

12. K&R

What will tomorrow's testimony reveal?

[tiptonic]

15. Tapes

Tapes and tax returns, has nice ring to it.

[flibbitygiblets]

16. Yes this is petty, but I just love whenever Tronald Dump has to deny involvement w/Russian Hookers

I know it's not even close to the most important part. But I can't help but sigh wistfully when I remember there was never even a HINT of immoral behavior on the part of President Obama.

Then again, when one's been caught on tape saying "Grab 'em by the p****y", it doesn't help one's credibility in terms of "would he go there", does it?

Apologies for digressing. You were saying something about Obstruction of Justice? Please go on...

[TygrBright]

18. The whole 7-page text reads like a "Sopranos" episode.

With a mob boss trying to wiggle out of indictments trying to get the family consigliere to put personal loyalty to him above loyalty to the family as a whole.

Perfectly happy to let the whole family go up the river as long as he can weasel out, and willing to imply threats, promises, goodfella-ing all around to get what he wants.

disgustedly,
Bright
