But no one is buying it

In the investigation about nothing, the left and the media are now stuck with the testimony about nothing on a day when they desperately hoped to get the bombshell that would bring down a president. Let's review:

James Comey thought President Trump was trying to give him a directive to drop the Mike Flynn investigation, and thinks he was subsequently fired for not dropping it. Ooh. Watergate. Right? No, because firing Comey wasn't coupled with the dropping of anything, and his incoming successor can do whatever he wants with the investigation.

Not even Comey claims Trump was trying to get him to drop the entire Russia investigation, although Trump is clearly irritated by it, as he should be because it's a complete waste of time without any apparent point.

Comey admits he leaked his infamous memo to the media through a friend, which as Rob points out may have been illegal in its own right.

If Comey thought Trump was trying to obstruct an investigation, the law requires him to report that to his superiors. He never did so.

And oh by the way, the Obama Justice Department was awfully aggressive in deciding to investigate Flynn for contact with a Russian diplomat that, even now, no one claims was illegal or improper.
