Here are the highlights.
This clearly stung Comey, who called such denigrations of FBI professionalism lies, plain and simple.
Why didnt he tell Trump no?
Comey chalked it up to a mix of shock and intimidation.
I was playing in my mind, what should my response be?
Thats why I very carefully chose my words.
Maybe other people would be stronger in that instance, but its how I conducted myself.
Maybe if I did it again Id do it better.
Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?
At one point, Comey ended up having an interesting exchange with Sen. Angus King (I-ME).
Several senators were curious about Comeys account the Oval Office meeting where he and the president discussed Michael Flynn.
Did President Trumps wording (I hope you could let this go) really translate to an order?
To explain, Comey ended upmaking a historical referencethat Sen. King also understood.
It rings as my ears kind of like, who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?
I was just going to quote that, King said.
In 1170, Henry II says, who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?
And the next day the priest Thomas Becket was killed.
Its exactly the same situation, were thinking along the same lines.
