Comey gives his testimony and the contents seem fairly damning. There is complete silence from the Trump administration, even though Trump said he would be responding to the testimony live. Comey says he thinks he was fired due to the Russia investigation, says he thought Trump was asking for "loyalty" and found it disturbing. He also makes it completely clear that the intelligence community is certain that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.
At one point in the testimony, Comey mentions leaking some info to a friend of his in order to prompt a hearing/investigation into this whole thing. The information leaked was not classified information.
Trump's lawyers issue a statement basically saying Trump is off the hook, and Comey's testimony proves he did nothing wrong. Their statement literally says that Comey's testimony proved Russia wasn't interfering in the election, when Comey actually said the exact opposite.
Now someone has given Trump his phone back, and he decides to tweet:
"Despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication...and WOW, Comey is a leaker!"
Are you really falling for this shit?
I watched the entire hearing, it is absolutely not fair to say he was vindicated. The media portrayal of his testimony, particularly the American media, has been very skewed.
Comey did not give his opinion at all unless directly asked, and was extremely professional throughout the hearing. It is not a win for Trump at all, it sounded very bad for him. This is only based on what was shared in the public hearing too, questions were also asked in private due to information potentially being classified.
It is worth watching, if you get the time.
