On what he dubbed ‘Comey Testimony Eve, the ‘Late Show’ host highlighted parts of the text of the former FBI Director’s statement to the Senate.
Wednesday night was « the most magical night of the year » according to Stephen Colbert, who dubbed it « Comey Testimony Eve. »
Regarding a dinner that Comey had with President Trump shortly after he was sworn into office, Comey said he « assumed there would be others. » It turned out to be just the two of them « seated at a small oval table » as Comey described it.
« Oh, come on, that’s the oldest trick in the book, » Colbert advised. « You invite your FBI Director over for a movie, saying it’s going to be a ‘group thing.’ When he shows up, it’s just the two of you. Can’ t make Netflix work so, you know… so you obstruct justice. »
Per Comey, the president also made a request for « loyalty » at their dinner on Jan. 27. « I didn’ t move, speak, or change my facial expression in any way during the awkward silence that followed, » he stated. « We simply looked at each other in silence. »
