Trump to watch Comeys testimony with legal team: report

Source: The Hill

President Trump will watch part of former FBI Director James Comey’s Senate testimony alongside his legal team and advisers, according to NBC News.

JUST IN: Senior WH aide tells @PeterAlexander Trump will monitor #Comey in a WH dining room with his legal team & some of closest advisers.

Comey will testify to the Senate Intelligence Committee that Trump repeatedly sought to influence the FBI’s investigation into Russian election meddling before firing him, according to his opening statement released Wednesday.

A Washington bar is offering a round of drinks every time Trump tweets about former Comey during his highly anticipated Senate testimony.

Or even written by legal counsel, or one of the many surrogates designated for this assignment.

Unless he slips away for a midday constitutional (or with Trump, would it be a midday unconstitutional?), he'll be in full view and under protection from a team of dudes who will be defending his lame ass and won't allow him to further denigrate his case in their presence.

His lawyers will tell him not to tweet and he'll show them what a bigly man he is and make is just that much worse for himself.
