2. Confirmed the Steele dossier is not discredited, that sessions knew POTUS made improper contacts

And Sessions didn't care.

3. Confirmed Mike Pence knew about Flynn

Which means Pence lied when he claimed no prior knowledge of Flynn's Russian contacts.

4. Comey helped orchestrate the special counsel!

How James Comey orchestrated the special counsel...

“I woke up in the middle of the night on Monday night, ‘cause it didn’t dawn on me originally that there might be corroboration for our conversation; there might be a tape,” Mr. Comey said, referring to May 15. “And my judgment was I needed to get that out in the public square so I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter. Didn’t do it myself for a variety of reasons but I asked him to because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel. So I asked a close friend of mine to do it.”

James Comey said he indirectly leaked a memo on a meeting with President Trump in order to trigger the naming of a special counsel.

You have to admit that this is some smart thinking. Comey knew what he was doing. The result was good for us.
