As Twitchy told you, in advance of tomorrow’s hearing, the Senate Intelligence Committee has posted what are reportedly former FBI Director James Comey’s opening remarks.
Depending on whom you ask, it’s either solid proof of obstruction … or illegality … or impropriety … or it’s just a nothingburger.
For what it’s worth, here’s National Review senior writer David French’s take:
Just read Comey transcript. His interactions with POTUS were worse than what GOP feared happened between Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch.

More on Comey transcript: It doesn't make case for obstruction, but conversations plus firing Comey show blatant abuse of power.

That's the clear impression. He seems enraged and baffled that Comey just won't do as he says.

Then pushes that change in a manner that abuses power and disregards his proper role as the leader of a constitutional republic.

Trump-fanboy-turned-detractor Joe Scarborough has really seized on French’s broaching of “abuse of power”:
"Abuse of power" was Article 4 in the impeachment of Bill Clinton. https://t.co/JmNlklOesg

Isn’t that interesting? And Federalist senior editor and National Review writer David Harsanyi points out something else that’s pretty interesting:

Ooooof … that’s awkward!
Oh man, I'm laughing.

Is there something in the fluoride and removes self-reflection from everyone's brains?
