Funny how different people watch the same thing but come to different conclusions. I saw only part of the hearings, but from what I saw and have read here and from what a close friend who watched the whole thing saw, we concluded that J. Comey was a loser and D. Trump won. As you pointed out, if there were tapes, there would be no need for notes.
The media, however, saw this quite differently. Judge Napolitano really went off the rails. Perino made foolish comments. And the superlatives the anchors used! From now on it's mainly Hannity, Judge Pirro, and Lou Dobbs and FOX business news for me.
Comey said nothing new that should have bothered Napolitano. What’s wrong with these people?
