Which isn't a big shock. I agree with the bold, though, that it will be nice once it's done with.
I read the entire contents of Comey's memos as released. Comey flat out states he did not feel pressured to "ease off" of Flynn and took Trump's meaning regarding giving Flynn a break to be related to the recent activity and not the Russian investigation. Trump's conversations with Comey are untoward but I don't see anything obstructionist and certainly nothing worthy of impeachment. It seems this is going to end up being a non-story. I kind of feel bad for the people having Comey parties though, it's going to be a mini election night for them.
