For those with pre-testimony jitters. [View all]

Here's a good, rational article from the LA Times on what to expect. Very calming.

Q&A What to expect from James Comey's testimony on Thursday

Why is Comey going back in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee? Hasn't he testified twice already this year?

Good question.

During a House Intelligence Committee hearing in March, Comey and National Security Agency Director Adm. Michael S. Rogers confirmed that the FBI was investigating Russia’s possible coordination with people in the Trump campaign. That same day, Trump dismissed the story as “fake news.”

Comey and Rogers also testified that they had no evidence to back Trump’s claims that President Obama had wiretapped Trump Tower.

In May, just days before Comey was fired, he testified before a Senate Intelligence Committee and defended how he handled the FBI’s investigation during the campaign into Hillary Clinton’s email practices while she was secretary of State. In that hearing, he repeated that the FBI was continuing to investigate Trump associates’ possible coordination with Russia.

But a lot has happened since then....
