The highly anticipated Comey testimony started off with a bang.
Right out of the gates former FBI Director James Comey fired shots at his old boss, President Donald Trump, saying he was confused over his firing.

But, there are two sides to every story, and a Twitter battle was soon in the works:
Peter King makes Comey hearing prediction: Trump’s going to have half of D.C. drunk before noon
Gee this must be the first time a fired disgruntled employee points the finger at his former boss. Everything he says must be true🙄#ComeyDay

Wait. Now #Comey contradicts himself as says he was fired because of Russian investigation. #UNREAL. Guy doesn't stop lying. #ComeyDay

Comey said "it was slightly cowardly" for him not to directly tell Trump that he wouldn't be doing what prez asked.

But after some jabs, many on Twitter believed what they had long suspected… the whole hoopla over Trump’s alleged “obstruction” will turn out to be much ado about nothing.

#ComeyDay trended on Twitter and highlights were picked up, like the following exchange where Comey reaffirms Trump did not ask him to halt the investigating into supposed Russian meddling.

Comey wasn’t willing to let Trump completely off the hook and left a cloud of suspicion that Ann Coulter didn’t appreciate:
Marco Rubio ‘lays down the BOOM’ with killer line of questioning for Comey
Comey's excuse for his outrageous refusal to tell public the PRESIDENT not under investigation is absurd. It would create "duty to correct!"
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) June 8, 2017
At any point anyone in U.S. could go from "NOT under investigation" to "under investigation." Comey uses that to blacken reputations. https://t.co/E49RQ6sb3O

And then entered Marco Rubio:
Rubio: "Seems like the only thing that was not leaked was the fact that @POTUS was not under investigation." #ComeyDay
— Patriot Corner (@PatriotCorner) June 8, 2017
Thank you, @marcorubio Rubio asked a very smart question, why was it never leaked, that the president was NOT under investigation?#ComeyDay
— American Brown Chick (@Mrsmmtbeauty) June 8, 2017
GREAT pt by @senmarcorubio: Through this whole investigation, the ONLY FACT that never "leaked" was that Trump was not under investigation.
