Re: POTUS 45.11: Attack! Repeat. Atrack!!!
Not too good if you listened to the whole hearing carefully. Comey was extremely explicit when he explained each instance of when he said Trump was not under investigation and why he said it regarding specific situations. He was also very careful to point out to the President that even tho there was no current investigation, there may come an instance where he might become part of the investigation which would necessitate Comey then coming out to clarify that the situation had changed. This was something Comey testified he and assocs discussed when they tried to figure out whether they should come out to say he wasn't under investigation. The wisdom in the room was there was no guarantee he would not be under investigation at some point so nothing should be said. Comey also said he would elaborate when they were in closed session. He was also careful to say he had no knowledge of whether the President was currently under investigation now. If you took Comey at his word when listening to his testimony it seemed he was implying there was much more to be investigated and it may be too early to come to any conclusions.
Of course then we had the immediate attempts at character assassination from the legal mouthpiece and Trump saying things were said that weren't that if you listened to the actual hearing were like being in an alternate world.
True confessions- I was not so sure how I felt about Comey before the hearings started. I was not enamored with how he had handled the pre-election stuff because I didn't think it made a whole lot of sense. I came out of this finding him very credible and honest sounding, even down to the part where he admitted he could have handled things differently in some cases when the dif GOP folks questioned him.
