Waiting for Comey to discuss his hearing

Republicans spent much of Friday trying to wring new information from former FBI Director James Comey during an all-day deposition — but identified little new ground after six hours of free-wheeling inquiries.

GOP members peppered Comey with queries about the origins of the FBI’s Russia investigation, the bureau’s surveillance of a Trump campaign aide and allegations of anti-Trump bias among senior officials.

But emerging from the meeting, lawmakers were tight-lipped about what answers, if any, they got. Some, like Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), came out frustrated, claiming efforts to pry loose new information were sidelined by a lawyer who intervened to block Comey's answers on matters “at the core” of their inquiry.

Democrats disputed this characterization, describing a free-flowing interview with few obstacles.

Comey, speaking to reporters as he left, said he would return for another interview the week of Dec. 17. He told reporters that President Donald Trump's "attacks on the Justice Department broadly and the FBI are something that...you should find deeply troubling."

“We have the right witness with the wrong questions. This is just a big fishing expedition,” said Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois, one of the Democrats on the panel interviewing Comey Friday, in a phone interview. “We've got to stop wasting time on Hillary Clinton's emails.”

Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), who is expected to chair the Judiciary Committee in January, called the interview a “fishing expedition” that would end when Democrats take over.

A transcript of his testimony — which was before the House oversight and judiciary committees — is expected to be released sometime on Saturday.

Sounds like the transcript is going to be boring. 

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
