There are bars around Washington that are offering a free drink of Russian vodka every time Trump tweets about it. One opens at 9:00 am. Anyone want to take bets on when the first guy hits the floor? I'm thinking somewhere around 9:37.

Latest approval poll numbers:
Trump approval rating hits new low in Quinnipiac poll
His numbers on the Russian thing aren't good either:
I wonder how long the Republicans will continue to back Trump before they jump ship.

Apparently, he's viewing it with White House Counsel, which is now is a euphemism for bound and gagged.

Hmmm No Tweets from @POTUS but @DonaldTrumpjr is on fire. Not satisfied with stealing Eric Trump's golf charity he's nicked Jnr's twitter login.

I've heard something about his staff tying him to the mast for the duration of Comey's testimony.
The only thing that could damage Trump more than this, is Trump tweeting about it.
A lot of the Committee wearing British ties (stripes diagonalize the other way)

I watched it all and Trump came out of it very well, I think. No smoking gun.
Comey claiming that he took Trump saying "I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go" as a directive is just a bureaucrats view on a comment from the top elected official and his boss. Had Trump made that comment more than just once and at other meeting then things could look very different, but he didn't, he said it at one meeting. Also I think Comey should have taken issue at the time of each meeting he felt worried about and he didn't, he should have said to Trump "this is inappropriate" and also should have spoken to the White House legal council if as he claims "he was so concerned about it".
RISCH: Thank you. All right. So those three things we now know regarding the active measures, whether the president is under investigation and the collusion between the trump campaign and the Russians. I want to drill right down, as my time is limited, to the most recent dust up regarding allegations that the president of the United States obstructed justice. Boy, you nailed this down on page 5, paragraph 3. You put this in quotes. Words matter. You wrote down the words so we can all have the words in front of us now. There's 28 words now in quotes. It says, quote, I hope -- this is the president speaking -- I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is good guy. I hope you can let this go. Now, those are his exact words, is that correct.
COMEY: Correct.
RISCH: You wrote them here and put them in quotes.
COMEY: Correct.
RISCH: Thank you for that. He did not direct you to let it go?
COMEY: Not in his words, no.
RISCH: He did not order you to let it go?
COMEY: Again, those words are not an order.
RISCH: He said, I hope. Now, like me, you probably did hundreds of cases, maybe thousands of cases, charging people with criminal offenses and, of course, you have knowledge of the thousands of cases out there where people have been charged. Do you know of any case where a person has been charged for obstruction of justice or, for that matter, any other criminal offense, where they said or thought they hoped for an outcome?
COMEY: I don't know well enough to answer. The reason I keep saying his words is I took it as a direction.
RISCH: Right.
COMEY: I mean, this is a president of the United States with me alone saying I hope this. I took it as, this is what he wants me to do. I didn't obey that, but that's the way I took it.
RISCH: You may have taken it as a direction but that's not what he said.
COMEY: Correct.
RISCH: He said, I hope.
COMEY: Those are his exact words, correct.
RISCH: You don't know of anyone ever being charged for hoping something, is that a fair statement?
COMEY: I don't as I sit here.
I think the person who came off worse from Comey's questioning was Loretta Lynch (Obama's Attorney General) she wanted Comey to use the language of the Democrat campaign in regard to the emails, she wanted him to call it a "matter" not an "investigation".

Are you serious ? I don't think you are but just in case..
If the President (or the boss of your cartel or whatever) gets you alone in a room and says repeatedly that he hopes you'll do something for him, and that he wants loyalty, that's just him expressing his feelings, a bit like someone saying they hope it'll be nice weather tomorrow?
Why do you think Comey got sacked ?
