This morning's Comey report

Comey speaks!  A live blog by Thomas Lifson
"Senator Warner’s welcome to Comey was more like a prosecutor’s opening statement than a greeting.  Pure propaganda exploiting the big TV audience."

Andrew McCarthy demolishes the argument that Trump obstructed justice, or even did anything wrong in dinner talk with Comey
"In his trademark well-informed and lucid style, former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy took just over 4 minutes to explain to Tucker Carlson’s viewers why President Trump’s dinner conversation with James Comey, bandied about as “obstruction of justice” by many on the left, was not improper." . . .

Opening remarks pretty much about himself   . . . "Comey continued: “I was also confused by the initial explanation that was offered publicly: that I was fired because of the decisions I had made during the election year.” He had assumed that was “water … under the bridge,” he said." . . .

Comey said Loretta Lynch told him not to call the Clinton email probe an 'investigation'  . . . "Under questioning by panel chairman Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), Comey said that he was uncomfortable with the unexpected meeting Lynch had with former President Bill Clinton on an airport tarmac last year. 
"Comey said that meeting convinced him that the independence of the investigation was tainted with regard to the Justice Department and led him to go public with the bureau's findings on Clinton." . . .
