Fox and right wing talk radio will report this that Comey testifies that there is no proof that the wiretaps didn’t happen.

The White House is standing by its wiretap lie, as per Spicer briefing (I saw on CNN banner).

Rep. Sewell is making a very damaging case against Flynn for taking money from Russian government. She is asking for a criminal investigation of him. Comey “can’t comment on that” when she asks what level of proof is required to trigger emoluments clause criminal investigation.

Trey Gowdy is doing a great job auditioning for a Fox News contract. But it would be nice if he would show some concern for possible White House treason. Sad! Even for Mr. Benghazi!

Finally, it’s Adam Schiff’s turn and he’s going after Trump’s wiretapping lie.

So far, GOP is asking only about leaks, not about the fact that the POTUS is being investigated by the FBI and about POTUS lie about wiretapping.

Rogers is talking about what happens if an American is caught up in surveillance of a foreign person (think Mike Flynn talking to the Russians). GOP member Tom Rooney is doing the asking. So he’s looking into the GOP talking point that Flynn’s communication with Russia was improperly “unmasked.”

Comey also confirmed that there is an ongoing investigation into whether there was any coordination between Trump campaign and Russia’s efforts to interfere with the election.

The questioning is beginning with Nunes. He’s focusing on proving Russia did not affect the election. But Comey said in his opening statement that this is a long, complicated process. So, even though both Comey and Rogers said they knew of nothing (though Rogers noted his is a foreign intel agency), that does not mean they have concluded there was none.
