The Comey statement is absolutely engrossing. Wapo has an annotated version in progress for those interested.
The most interesting part is that it shows exactly how Trump does business: gets people in a one on one situation, pressures them to do what he wants including by way of subtle threats, publicly chastise and defame them if they don't comply. And there's a catch 22: even if you do comply, he'll still throw you to the dogs later if it serves his own interests.
Tomorrow is going to be fascinating, but I'll bet it's disappointing too as we watch Republicans attack the credibility of a man who has tried to do his level best, all to protect their own party and the thug at the head of it.
