There's also no such extra burden on using it as grounds for impeachment.

Well that's neat... me and Nate Silver are of the same mind on the above...

Yeah, one thing we haven’t learned very much about today — although Comey might have no way of knowing it — is what Trump told other people such as Sessions about his reasons for firing Comey.

One thing to keep in mind is that there will be no smoking gun from Comey's testimony... it's just (potentially) going to be part of a larger narrative. The Watergate investigation took years, this too will take years.Trump better hope that this resolves (one way or the other) before he leaves office.
