Comey: "Where are those Republicans today? At some point someone has to stand up and in the face of Fox News, fear of their base, fear of mean tweets, stand up for the values of this country, not slink away into retirement, but stand up and speak the truth."
“People who know better, including Republican members of this body, have to have the courage to stand up and speak the truth, not be cowed by mean tweets or fear of their base. There is a truth and they’re not telling it. Their silence is shameful."
Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker — do you have confidence in him?”

Former FBI Director James Comey: “No comment.”

The episode was only pulled in the KSA.

BREAKING: After another congressional closed-door interview, former FBI Director Comey comes out firing against President Trump’s “lying” and “mean tweets,” and Republicans who are trying to “slink away into retirement.”
Comey says he’s being questioned on Clinton’s emails and the Steele dossier, “while the president of the United States is lying about the FBI, attacking the FBI, and attacking the rule of law in this country. How does that make any sense at all?”

COMEY blasts House Republicans following his testimony: "Someone has to stand up to the fear of Fox News, fear of their base, fear of mean tweets, stand up for the values of this country & not slink away to retirement. Stand up and speak the truth."
COMEY on Trump's tweet calling Cohen a "rat": "It undermines the rule of law. This is the president of the US calling a witness who is cooperating w/his own DOJ a rat. Say that again to yourself at home and remind yourself where we ended up...we have to stop being numb to it"
COMEY: "Somebody has to stand up and speak for the FBI & the rule of law. I hope there's more somebodies than just me...the FBI's reputation is taking a big hit b/c POTUS has lied about it constantly. A whole lot of people who watch your network [Fox News] believe that nonsense."

There's a reason Trumpeters are so angry & hate-filled:
Some greedy clever & unscrupulous people have been training them to be that way for over 40 years. In the 1970s a guy named Limbaugh started bragging to powerful people, including political trickster Roger Stone,
1/
2/ yeah, the same Roger Stone who's in the news a lot again lately. Rush claimed he could get people to vote against their own best interests by appealing to their fears & prejudices using his show. He had a system down. The trick was to get them angry & foster hate & fear.
3/ He'd rant about made up threats like welfare queens riding around in cadillacs, radical hippie liberals, foreigners & feminazies, specifically programming them to hate because that's how they could be persuaded to keep voting for economic policies that are terrible for them.

Comey is talking about his first meeting with Trump. Says no one asked about Russian interference (what to do, what comes next).

"It was all about PR," how to spin the story to minimize Russia's role so it wouldn't take away from Trump's victory.

#ComeyInterview
Comey says his first meeting with Trump gave him flashbacks to La Cosa Nostra (American mafia). Says Trump reminded him of a mob boss, and the relationships between/among Trump and others in his circle reminded him of a mob family.

#ComeyInterview
Comey says he soon started taking notes after each meeting with Trump because he was worried Trump would lie about what happened/what was said. ("Trump does not have a high regard for the truth.")
