Or at least since Hillary Clinton's eleven hours of testimony during the Benghazi witch hunt.
If you are in a bar in Washington DC you might be enjoying free drinks.
Or you may have called in sick to work.
Whatever the case I am sure that you, like me, can barely concentrate on anything other than what may or may not be said during this hearing.
We did get a preview yesterday of Comey's opening remarks, the rest we will have to learn in real time.
I will try to liveblog this as it goes along, and you can also follow me on my Twitter page for updates.
I will also post Trump's Twitter reaction, if there are any.
Let's get this party started.
Update: Oh I love this news.
Update 2:President Trump will dispute he asked James Comey for loyalty https://t.co/etzFZySVpV— TIME (@TIME) June 8, 2017
Not a good idea to piss off the former head of the FBI.James Comey: Trump Admin ‘Defamed’ Me and the FBI With ‘Lies, Plain and Simple’https://t.co/dztDq8ULfB pic.twitter.com/RyFbU6pihd— Mediaite (@Mediaite) June 8, 2017
Update 3: Comey did not feel this way about President Obama.
Update 3: Apparently rather than tweeting from either of his two official accounts Trump is working through his kid.Comey: “I was honestly concerned that he might lie about the nature of our meeting” https://t.co/6jHeMTcq9R— Mike Allen (@mikeallen) June 8, 2017
Washington DC at its finest. This is what America rallied against, but the DC elite don't get it or know any other way. https://t.co/H5SszE4uL4— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) June 8, 2017
Trump is such a little snowflake.It's sad that the left today would rather see America suffer and fail than to see it succeed with @realDonaldTrump at the helm. #maga— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) May 12, 2017
Update 4: If Trump has tapes Comey would like them released.
Let me second that.Comey, asked about the possibility that Trump recorded their interactions: "If he did, my feelings aren't hurt. Release all the tapes." pic.twitter.com/Pbs229SRzX— POLITICO (@politico) June 8, 2017
That would be AWESOME!
Update 5:
Yep."I was fired to change in some way the nature of the Russia investigation." And there it is.— George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) June 8, 2017
Update 6: That was just fucking sad.
Update 7: Wait! It's over?My response to @SenJohnMcCain attempting to suggest that there was a double standard with how Comey treated Hillary as opposed to Trump. pic.twitter.com/vD9BYEeoqK— Gryphen 2009 (@Gryphen2009) June 8, 2017
How come nobody ever sits for an 11 hour hearing like Hillary was forced to endure?
Okay what did we learn? The following:
- Comey was pressured to drop the Flynn investigation.
- Comey did not want to be in the same room alone with Trump, just like every woman on the planet.
- Comey could not answer whether or not there is any evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia.
- Comey thinks Trump is a liar.
- And Senator John McCain may have slipped into dementia right before our eyes.
