—There were several times when Comey said he couldn’t answer questions in an open hearing, only in a closed session later on Wednesday. Why? —Let’s look at what we can glean from the questions he couldn’t answer today. COMMENT ON SPECIFIC INSTANCES OF COMEY NOT BEING ABLE TO ANSWER STEELE DOSSIER BYTE 1 (was FBI able to confirm criminal allegations contained in the Steele document?) —What is the Steele dossier? What were the criminal allegations in it? —Does this mean that they are still trying to figure out whether the information is true? Or does it mean that the entire thing has been shut down but that it’s still being assessed as a mode of disinformation? FLYNN INVESTIGATION BYTE 2 (Isn’t Flynn a central figure in this investigation btwn Trump and the Russians?) —How is the Flynn investigation separate (but related) to the Russian investigation? BYTE 3 (did you ever come close to closing the investigation on Flynn?) —Why is this question important? — Why were there so many questions about Michael Flynn? COLLUSION WITH RUSSIA BYTE 4 (do you believe Trump colluded?) —Why can’t Comey answer this? Has this been disproven already and are there other equally paramount issues? How is this question of “collusion” related to the “obstruction” angle? BYTE 5 (Any meetings between Trump officials and Russian officials during campaign that have not been acknowledged?) —Is this about Sessions? Is this about Trump? —Conclusion: what are the Senators hoping to learn in the closed door session?
