Yes, Lankford is doing a good job. Comey is cool under pressure...not nervous. But I’m surprised at how fast he’s talking and that he doesn’t think longer before answering questions.

why wouldn’t Trump mention Flynn? Jan 24th report he was in the clear, backed by CNN on the 16th - 2 days after ‘dinner for 2’.

So why would Comey say, he couldn’t/wouldn’t verify that Flynn was in the clear, when CNN comes out with their story 2 days later that the FBI says he’s in the clear?

We have no idea if those memos are the original notes he claims he made right after the meetings/phone calls. Notes are one thing. Memos made form those notes are another thing. People usually dictate their thoughts into a recorder, or jot them down on paper, then later prepare a longer document from their recorded comments, or written notes. Who’s to say what embellishments he added as he was transferring his notes into memo form.

He only fabricated the bullsh!t about his concerns about one-on-one meetings after he was fired and he realized he had nothing to show for his "detective work."

He was playing Commissioner McMillan, diving in and personally solving a high-profile case when the need arises.

Who's his Sgt. Enright?

How about a one-word tweet:

COVFEFE

Or two words:

James Covfefe

well, they were ‘private citizen’ memos of his own recollections (he’s claiming intellectual property?)

Comey is dedicated to smearing Trump.

He was worried about the Russians trying to influence the election, but he wasn’t worried about HIllary’s mis-handling of classified information, and whose lack of security made those documents available to foreign entities, including the Russians he claims he was so worried about.

HA!

I look forward to what he tweets.

He loves to troll.

You know..clients often don’t listen to their lawyers...many times ..but not always..to the clients detriment.

There will probably be a battle behind the scenes with what he wants to say versus what his lawyers advise.

Comey is not hurting Trump, nor will the MSM followup.

Au contraire. Comey is hurting Trump by calling him a liar and saying that he perceived Trump's statements on Flynn about letting it go as a direct order to stop the investigation. This constitutes obstruction of justice. Comey had never reported it.

Yea, like that tiny little REDACTED fact that the Saudi Government assisted the 9/11 murderers.

That seems like it may have been important.

He’s nauseating. It’s disgusting when he wraps himself in the flag to dodge a question.

Is there anyone who doesn't believe that every country out there does not try to influence the outcome of US elections?!

Clinton foundation anyone - a running sewer of illicit politically charged foreign money.

IMO, you are both correct.

The distinction is how the tweets should be employed. They should be crafted in essence by the legal team and have a purpose. I.e., the tweets should be used to make or underscore points that an agressive R on the committee would pursue, and to counter false, irrelevant or unsupported contentions by the D's.

What a wonderful and previously unavailable opportunity: to provide contemporaneous comments to a national audience.
