Today’s hearing with former FBI Director James Comey is where all the cool anti-Trumpers are going to be:

For those without a reserved seat it meant a very early wake-up call:
Asked the interns at the front of the line waiting for #ComeyHearing what time they got here:
4:15am: "Totally worth it," one said.

The general public, however, is out of luck:
The amount of staff/interns lined up outside the room by 7am means it's unlikely anyone from the general public will make it into this room.

And they might be right. There are only 88 seats set up for the public. Lines are already many times that. https://t.co/O6XIIVAegF

As for the president, he’ll monitor the hearing from the White House:
JUST IN: Senior WH aide tells @PeterAlexander Trump will monitor #Comey in a WH dining room with his legal team & some of closest advisers.

Although we haven’t yet heard from the president:
No tweets from Trump this morning? None at all?

The fireworks, or lack thereof, start at 10:00 a.m.
