Republican lawmakers released the official transcripts of their high-stakes hearing featuring former FBI boss James Comey Tuesday afternoon; shedding new light on the bureau boss’s “thinking” during Michael Flynn’s initial interview.

House GOP members published the 173-page document online one day after Comey spoke with congressional investigators regarding his role in Hillary Clinton’s botched email investigation and the 2016 election.
