It wasn’t just what ex-FBI director James Comey told senators about the lead-up to Donald Trump firing him over his Russia investigation. It was what he intimated, suggested, winked, and implied about possible ties between Team Trump and the Kremlin.

Throughout the three-hour hearing, Comey dropped several breadcrumbs for legislators, FBI investigators, reporters, concerned citizens, and Tweetstormers to follow. Here are five of these enticing potential clues.

American Hackers?

So far, there are no public indications that there were any Americans involved in hacking the 2016 campaign. The Democratic Party networks were infiltrated by the Russian-intelligence-aligned hacking units known as Fancy Bear and Cozy Bear. The disseminators of the exfiltrated data are entities either known to be or suspected of being foreign: DCLeaks, Guccifer2.0 and WikiLeaks. But Comey suggested – perhaps idly, certainly publicly – that there might indeed have been a domestic tie.

As the nearly three-hour hearing drew to a close, Comey mused about the “vital” importance of special counsel Robert Mueller’s inquiry, owing to the persistent threat from Russian electoral interference. “I know I should have said this earlier, it’s obvious, but if any Americans were part of helping the Russians do that to us, that is a very big deal,” Comey said. “And I’m confident that if that is the case, Director Mueller will find that evidence.”

2. The other four clues

Dodgy Dossier - that infamous dossier that has now been at least partially confirmed by various intelligence agencies.

Shifty Jeff Sessions? 'Nuff said.

Mike Check (Pence) - "Comey said it’s his “understanding” that Pence was aware of the concerns surrounding Flynn prior to or during his tenure as national security adviser." Which means that the excuse for firing Flynn was a lie.

The Bank of Spies - VEB, that bank that was involved with Jared Kushner's secret Russian meeting. And the one that Comey refused to discuss in an open hearing.
