the trump line or risk losing his job. he also revealed details on the national security advisor. >> i took it as a direction. this is the president of the united states with me alone saying, i hope this. i took it as this is what he wants me to do. >> reporter: testimony damaging to the president but damaging to comey, too. at one point the former director admitted passing along information to a friend he knew would leak it to the press in order to provoke the justice department to appoint a special counsel. >> we will leave it to the appropriate authorities to determine whether these leaks should be investigated along with all the others that are being investigated. >> reporter: the hearing of course is over but leaders of the senate intelligence committee say they will keep on with this investigation as long as it takes. julie and frank, back to you. >> caroline, thank you. joining us is usf political science professor james taylor. your take. was there any bombshell moment? >> bombshell, you hear that all over the news cycle because he unleashed several major bombs from loretta lynch's involvement to jeff sessions actually being more deeply implicated to john mccain sort of the moment that he had with the odd questioning. there was a lot that went on today that i think has sort of given enough kernels for mueller to go off into investigation. i think this is a real serious problem. >> what do you think? is this going to hurt him legally? politically? both? >> his numbers are down to 35%. even rasmussen, which is a conservative outlet, they also see his numbers in decline. as that happens the political space is made where they will abandon him. the republicans have ridden on donald trump very well for a period of time since he has been elected but they can't hold on to him as long as his numbers are down in the 30s. at some point you have to abandon him, but legally, if he wasn't in trouble with russia, russia now is almost secondary and irrelevant to donald trump. this is now about obstruction of justice. this is where richard nixon i think in 1971 through '73 where you look at nixon's conduct with watergate, as it relates to the tapes, it's almost echoing where they mentioned these tapes. now we come to a point where we don't know what to -- >> but, james, right now it's really he said/he said. >> yeah, and a that's why these tapes become way more critical. >> assuming there are days. if there aren't, it's james comey saying he told me this, donald trump saying, no, i never told you that. >> if there was something that comey thought was wrong, why didn't he call the president out on it then, or step down or resign? why wait? >> i think dianne feinstein, our own senator and others asked that question, why didn't you confront the president. as a normal person he said, it was the vice president the united states, i didn't feel -- i should have been more courageous. >> but he's the head of the justice department. >> he seemed to be overwhelmed by that moment. he said he was caught off- guard, he just didn't understand it. but i want to get back to the tapes. the tapes come into question because donald trump claim they existed. we didn't know nixon's tapes existed until july 1973 when a young man mentioned during hearings what about the tapes. and that set into motion the tape system that had been in place since 1940 with fdr and replaced by lbj in the '60s for his own memoirs. nixon had it put back in sew can write his own memoirs. that system is what brought nixon down. and now the tapes that donald trump says may exist may come back to haunt him if his tweet is true. >> although he did say that at one point, i don't recall him tweeting about that since then. it's almost -- he has almost kind of dropped it. >> even today the testimony of the officials yesterday that refused to say whether or not donald trump tried to persuade them, that's exactly what happened in the watergate hearings where the president orders the cia to tell the fbi to shut down the investigation into watergate. this is exactly what happened. >> i want to ask you something else, aside from the potential possibility of tapes. comey said -- i want to ask you what you think about his credibility. he said he needed to write the memos because he didn't trust the president but do you think it was appropriate for him to leak them to a friend? >> that's a real question, and the president's attorneys are now asking for prosecution of james comey. but in terms of his credibility he was under sworn testimony, and this is an a established attorney, an investigator. so yes he had credibility, but you remember his political involvement in the 2016 campaign. both sides had issues with him but he had credibility as a witness and the things he said, and that he corroborated it with his written statements that he released yesterday, but he claims he released this and he leaked it to pre-empt the idea that there may be these tapes. so it was an historical point we all need to realize. when richard nixon refused to release the tapes once they were discovered by this young person's statement, the consequence was that they subpoenaed the tapes, and when nixon refused that's when articles of impeachment were removed, and that's when nixon resigned from offers. that's where we are. if tapes exist and donald trump says no, that's what led to nixon's impeachment. >> if they exist. >> i'm not saying he didn't also give a lot of information that also exonerated donald trump from a lot of levels and also implicated a lot of other people for some things they were involved in, so i don't want to be one sided but there's enough for both sides to take from this, and he comes back to he said/he said unless those tapes exist. >> at least not the focus yet. >> now it's way more important than russia now. >> james, thank you. so much more to talk about. our coverage of james comey's testimony continues at web we haven't will you find the full text of his opening statements, video highlights of what he said during the testimony, and a photo gallery of his appearance. will you find the on-line story right on our home page. a wet, gray day across the bay area today. a live look from our emeryville camera. there it is. you can't see a whole lot. actually headed toward the city, but, well, you wouldn't know from the that picture. wow, bill, it is -- >> yeah, cloudy. >> cloudy and foggy. >> and drively. but was there enough to measure today? >> there was, julie. up in the north bay almost a half inch of rain up around guerneville. >> half an inch? >> half an inch, yea. the marin county area, quarter of an inch, .2 of an inch, the rest of us, .02 of an inch. let's take a look at the numbers. mill valley nearly .3 of an inch. san francisco .09. that's not a lot of rain butt definitely wetted the roadways out there. when that happens it makes for kind of a nasty morning commute. and even this afternoon there's some light spitting occurring, just barely coming down, drizzle, spitting, just barely wetting the ground, but this system has had an impact in temperatures by as much as five and eight degrees over what they were yesterday. cloud cover all day. as we pointed out that wet weather this morning, which did have an impact on the morning commute. dry now, but although the computer models, or not the computer models, the radars looking at this stuff, a lot of it may be coming in under the radar, so i wouldn't be surprised if you get a little spritzle out there. we dry out, but the cool air sticks around. it's not going to be as hot as you might like. when i come back we'll lay that out for you. today derek almena faced criminal charges for all 36 people that died at the ghost ship warehouse fire. henry lee is here with new information on the second defendant. >> within the past half-hour that second drveghts max harris, was booked into jail in dublin after being arrested in l.a. as a far as what happened in court for derick almena, the other man charged, he showed no emotion as he made a brief appearance. afterward one of his attorneys said the criminal case was a distraction from the issues of housing and fire safety. cameras were not allowed in court as derick almena appeared before a judge dressed in a red jail jump suit. he didn't say anything and did not appear to acknowledge relatives sitting in the gal real. almena did not enter a plea to 36 felony counts of involuntary manslaughter, one count for each of the victims who died in december in the building he leased. >> this case is one of the most profound tragedies to strike the bay area in living memory. despite the strong emotions we do not feel that the public goodwill be served by prosecuting our client. >> reporter: outside court one of almena's three attorneys said the city of oakland and the rental market shoulder some blame for the tragedy and said the prosecution is misguided. >> it creates a distraction so that the local government doesn't to have address the fun da a mental issues of housing inequality and fire safety that will continue to be a problem in this community. they have not addressed their failings. >> reporter: attorneys asked the judge to delay the hearing until next week when almena will be joined by max harris who faces the same 36 felony counts. the d.a. says both men allowed the warehouse to be filled from floor to ceiling with flammable materials. the d.a. says harris blocked one of the only two exits. they say they will discuss, quote, the circumstances that lend themselves to our clients' innocence. i went to the jail in dublin and was face to face to almena but he physically turned away from the glass separating us and declined to answer questions. he is held in isolation for his safety on more than a million dollars bail. >> henry, when you were at jail he came up to the glass as if to talk to you and then left? >> yeah, i don't think he was given notice as to who was there. he had a time slot. as soon as i identified myself as a beg from the media, he just turned to the side, wouldn't even look at me. he wouldn't talk to me any further. >> what about members of the families? >> the father of one of the victims said he just wanted to get a glimpse at almena to see if he showed any remorse. >> did almena acknowledge any of the family members? >> if he did it was very brief. he was in the corner. not a lot of interaction. >> henry lee, thank you. a double shooting outside a club at a sunnyvale strip mall left a young man dead and another with critical injuries. it happened about 2:15 this morning in the parking lot of the fair oaks plaza on east wayne avenue. investigators say officers arrived to find a 21-year-old man had been shot and killed. they also located another gunshot victim nearby. emergency crews took him to the hospital with critical injuries but he is expected to survive. police say the victims may have been inside the nearby la ronda club before the shooting. they believe the men were involved in some sort of argument with at least one other person when they were shot. >> right now we are investigating to determine what exactly occurred. there appeared to be some type of alter dangs parking lot. we don't know who they were arguing w. we do know they were obviously shot at by the people they were arguing with. >> investigators say they are seeking now -- speaking now with witnesses and contacting nearby businesses to see if they have surveillance cameras that may provide some clues. a purse covered with a confederate flag. it was apparently a christmas gift from a bay area boss to a black employee. and when she complained, she says she was fired. so now she is filing suit. you never know what kids are going to find outside to play with but what one student found outside this elementary school is causing a big concern. we will talk about that coming up after the break. plus, take a look. do you recognize this man? the atf hopes you do, and it is offering a $100,000 reward for his arrest. what he is accused of doing when we come back. police believe this man torched an emeryville housing project for the second time in less than a year. authorities released these images hoping someone recognizes who he is. they hope the public will help lead to an arrest. ktvu easley martinez joins us from what's left of that construction project. >> reporter: the total reward is now up to $100,000. but there were two fires, and atf can't say if the same suspect is responsible for both. on may 13th, the intersection construction project burned down for a second time. this time, however, surveillance video captured the suspects time stamped before the fire at 2:24 a.m. >> the video showed a suspect canvassing the building prior to the fire and then entering into the building. the suspect was wearing a jacket with a hood, carrying a backpack and riding a bicycle. >> reporter: this fire has similarities to the first destructive fire back on july 6th, 2016. >> in both fires, the stage of completion of the building was around the same. the completion of the building was around 50%, and it was -- the building had been framed but drywall had not been hug yet. >> reporter: witnesses also saw an unauthorized person at the scene before the fire. the atf lab is determining if an accelerant was used. >> this is a violent crime. we are very fortunate that we did not lose lives in both of these incidents. >> reporter: for each of the two fires, atf is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. the building developer, holiday development, is also offering a $50,000 reward for information. >> reporter: now, police and fire officials say they only have the one suspect who managed to get past security guards watching the construction site. in emeryville, lee martinez, ktvu fox 2 news. we will take another look at those rain numbers. it did get wet out there, mainly in the north bay. san jose is going, what are you talking about? we didn't get anything. most of us were in the trace amounts, like livermore, .01. as i mentioned there was up to a half inch of rain up in the guerneville area around the russian river. and the showers are now ending. as you look at the radar you see this is current. it goes back 12 hours. now it is pushing forward so you are watching what happens. it's not a model, it's actually the satellite. you can see some showers still stuck up in the lake tahoe area. snow up there above 8,000, 9,000 feet. cloudy outside. your friday morning starts off kind of cooler than it has. there's going to be plenty of clouds. a cool air mass that has settled in over the top of us. you see the mostly cloudy conditions in vallejo and concord. it is 70 in livermore. that's pretty warm. for all the cloud cover we had, 70 in fairfield, 68 in concord. so temperatures running in livermore and a fairfield about the same, but concord five cooler, santa rosa five degrees cooler. that makes sense. look at san francisco. certainly cooler there with the clouds and the drizzle. overnight lows will be in the 50s. there they are. daytime highs tomorrow are going to be, well, we are going to see maybe a few sprinkles, but highs are going to get back up into the mid-70s in the warmest spots. this low pressure center it wants to linger, and as it does so it's gentle associated with rising air. when air expands, expansion is cooling. when this low comes in it is going to create a cooler environment saturday and sunday. i don't mean cold. it's just not going to be the weather we had the other day when we had the 90s, even the mid-90s. so definitely cooler for your bay area weekend. we will talk more about that but just know your bay area friday, not a bad day, just not that warm. mostly to partly sunny throughout the afternoon hours. i will see you back here. we will take the long-range look at the weekend. an elementary student causes a scare. 12 students have now been tested for infection. what the school says that student poked his classmates with. dozens of packages stolen from a neighborhood in the east bay. the arrest announced today, plus the efforts now to return what was taken. plus thousands of jobs on the chopping block as verizon prepares to merge with yahoo. details on plans to lay off 15% of yahoo's workforce at 6:00.

senators took part in this morning's riveting hearing before the senate intelligence committee where former fbi director james comey testified about beg fired by the president and everything that led up to it. senator dianne feinstein honed in on comey's interactions with president trump while senator kamala harris tried to draw out information about the involvement of attorney general jeff sessions. >> let me begin with one overarching question. why do you believe you were fired? >> i guess i don't know for sure. i take the president at his word that i was fired because of the russia investigation. something about the way i was conducting it the president felt created pressure on him that he wanted to relief. again, i didn't know that at the time but i have watched his interview, i've read the press account so i take him at his word. i could be wrong. maybe essaying something that is not true but i take him at his word based on what i know now. >> you have mentioned in your written testimony that the president essential asked you for a loyalty pledge. are you aware of him making the same request of any other members of the cabinet? >> i am not. >> do you know one way or the other? >> i have never heard anything about it. >> senator chuck schumer speaking on the floor of the senate today said, quote, the cloud over this administration has gotten a whole lot darker. >> it is clear that the president -- that president trump's legal defense is to refute mr. comey's account. well, the president threatened mr. comey with the release of tapes of their conversation, presumably that includes the conversation when president trump asked director comey to, quote, let go, unquote, of the flynn investigation. it is awfully curious that no one from the president's team will either confirm or deny the existence of the tapes. >> in regard to those tapes the white house spokesperson today said she had no idea whether they exist but would, quote, try to look under the couch. >> there is plenty of quarterbacking this evening on comey's testimony. the former chairman of the california republican party shared his thoughts with us in the last hour. >> comey is the only witness to this stuff. and yet he has admitted hopelessly to probably breaking the law, but in the short term, if we go to politics, he landed a heavy punch by saying, i think i did this because i thought trump maybe would lie. he got his revenge. >> one official set probably wasn't a good idea for trump to say, can you let this go. a 15-year-old boy has died in what antioch police are calling

changes to close southbound lanes between slought and skyline boulevard. the northbound lanes would be redesigned to include the southbound lanes. officials say the eroding conditions are endangering the lake merced tunnel as well as the restrooms and parking lot along south ocean beach. san francisco's recreation and parks department doesn't expect construction to begin until late next year. >> let's go to bill in the weather center. we've been talking about those eroding areas for years. >> when i was a kid that land went out another 100 feet. >> that's what i was wondering, how far it went out. >> you look and the same thing is happening in pacifica where the houses on those streets, they used to be big sweeping view, and now the cliff is right next to their home. >> and with sea level

will come up tomorrow with more sunshine. but still, not very much. it is not going to be the same pattern we saw earlier in the week when it was hot and we had 90s and 80s. we are dog to see 60s and 70s right through the weekend in the warm spots. it is just not going to be that warm. it is going to feel more like an early spring pattern. current temperatures -- and there is how it looks in san francisco currently. take a look at the forecast overnight lows. 50s, which is what would you expect. mostly to partly cloudy. there might be a little bit of sprinkle or drizzle out there. tomorrow
