A lot of people were glued to their computer or tablet or tv to witness history as fired fbi director james comey with much anticipated and dramatic testimony on capitol hill. Do you solemnly swear to felt truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you god . I do. Please be seated. Now heres the question. Youre big, youre strong. I know the oval office and i know what happens to people when they walk in. There is a certain amount of intimidation, but why didnt you stop and say, mr. President , this is wrong . I cannot discuss this with you . Thats a great question. Maybe if i were stronger, i would have. Hung up hadnt to call my wife and break a date with her. I was supposed to take her out to dinner that night and thats one of the alltime great excuses for breaking a date. In retrospect i love spending time with my wife. I wish i had been there that night. [ laughter ] comey said the sitting president of the United States lied. And said this moment is not a witch hunt, not fake news about protecting the country. Do you solemnly swear to felt truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you god. I do. Under oath and no longer under wraps. Its my judgment that i was fired because of the russian investigation. Comey game out of the gate at this Senate Intelligence Committee Hearing with glance blazing clearly he what happened to set the record straight about number of things including his firing. The administration then chose to defame me and more importantly the fbi by saying that the organization was in disarray. That it was poorly lead, that the work force had lot of confidence in its leader. Those were lies plain and simp simple. President trump made comey uncomfortable. Reportedly comey tried to blend into the curtains of the blue room during a reception after the inauguration. Got call out. Then pulled in for unreciprocated hug and a whispered message. What the president whispered in my ears was i really look forward to working with you. Comey felt so uneasy about the relationship especially the usual oneonone meeting he started takely copious notes. I was concerned he might lie about the nature of our meet eyeing thought it report to document it. So why if he was so uncomfortable didnt he say anything democratic senator Diane Weinstein pressed him. Its a great question. Maybe if i were stronger i would have. I was so stunned by the conversation that i just took it in. Comey more about carefully chosen words than shoot from the hip tweets like this one. From President Trump saying james comey better hope that there are no tapes of our conversation before he starts leaking to the press look, ive seen the tweet about tapes. I hope there are tapes. The president is not saying word. Not this time around. Mr. President , any reaction to comeys testimony . Thank you. Any reaction . Do you think he toll the truth. His personal attorney stepped into the spotlight instead taking on russian influence and investigation into the president himself. Mr. Comey has now finally confirmed publicly what he repeatedly told President Trump privately, that is, that the president was not under investigation as part of any probe into russian interference. Other key moments from the hearing comey testified he felt pressured by the president to end his investigation into fired nsa director michael flynn. He leaked his own memo to a friend who gave it to a reporter hoping to spur the appointment of a special prosecutor. And neither republicans nor democrats came outlooking great. Comey testified that he felt pressured by the Clinton Campaign and the Obama White House on the fbi investigation into her emails. Aside from comeys testimony itself one of the biggest things that people are focusing on is senator john mccains line of questioning where he just seemed off. But you reached the conclusion that there was no reason to bring charges against secretary clinton so you reached a conclusion in the case of mr mr. Comey, you president comey no, sir. In the caves President Trump. The senator says nothing is wrong. He was just up late watching a diamondbacks game. Something he says he will not do again before really big day. Also knew tonight the Justice Department is now saying why attorney general Jeff Sessions recused himself from the russian investigation. Sessions stepped aside back in march only because he was involved in President Trumps campaign. This statement comes hours after comey testified saying he knew of several reasons why it would be bad for sessions to stay involved. There are reports tonight that he told senators this afternoons closed hearing about a possible third meeting sessions had with russians during the 2016 election.
