“So anyone who called Comey was recorded? And this is legal even if it is the President. And if a Congressman calls? Hillary?”

Washington DC and Virginia both have “one party consent” wiretap laws, so as long as one party to a conversation consents, it is legal to record it. Things may get murkier if the phone call was between people in different states with different laws though, I am not sure about that. If it is across state lines the federal wiretap law may take precedence, but that is also a “one party consent” law.

“The court case itself, with the names of the witness and his cell phone provider redacted, is open, public record”

OK. Let’s see it.
