As far as today's Comey statement. Here is the verbatim. 

As you know, our practice is not to confirm the existence of ongoing investigations, especially those investigations that involve classified matters. But, in unusual circumstances, where it is in the public interest, it may be appropriate to do so, as Justice Department policies recognize. This is one of those circumstances.

I have been authorized by the Department of Justice to confirm that the FBI, as part of our counterintelligence mission, is investigating the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.And that includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia's efforts.

As with any counterintelligence investigation, this will also include an assessment of whether any crimes were committed.

So, we've learned:
The Russians interfered in the 2016 election with a goal of hurting Hillary Clinton and helping Donald Trump.

The FBI continues to investigate this Russian effort to taint the 2016 election.

The FBI is investigating whether or not Team Trump and the Russians "coordinated" their efforts.

Neither the FBI, nor the DOJ has any information to support the allegation that Obama ordered any kind of Surveillance of Donald Trump.


Perhaps the worst day of the Trump Presidency,,,,,,,,,, so far.

Did you catch Sean Spicer's briefing?
Apparently, Trump barely knows Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn.

And, it may have been the worst day in history for house republicans. 
They acted, not as a co-equal branch of government, but like Trump junior staffers,,,, trying to make the leaks about a possible crime the story instead of the possible crime.
Disgusting.
