comey said lordy, i hope there are tapes. first time i heard "lordy" in quite some time. i should point out, we didn't see the president tweet a single time today. just for your reference, there were some bars and restaurants here in washington that were offering free drinks for every tweet the president would doll out. alas they went home without a drink. >> neil: thanks, kevin. lordy you're good. had to play that in there. it's all basic cable, folks. you ever wonder why it is the fbi director at the time james comey decided to keep these detailed notes? he said at the time that he didn't do that with the president's predecessor. so why this one? take a look. >> what was it about that meeting that led you to determine that you needed to put down a written record? >> i was concerned that he might lie about the nature of our meeting so i thought it was important to document. that combination of things i never experienced before. but it led me to write it down and write it down in a detailed way. >> neil: so molly hemmingway. i started to say to myself, it happens now and

lordy, i hope there are tapes." that one moment is one of the tweeted moments of the hearing that took place yesterday. we will go to gill from north carolina. your reaction to the testimony and what it all means? caller: good morning and good morning, c-span listeners. i found the testimony of fbi director james comey to be absolutely stunning and straightforward. the take-home points were why president trump tried to leverage vis-a-vis his ego speaking to the rector comey in private without anyone else around. fbi director comey, i feel, is not a purveyor of spirit's stories -- spurious stories. the questions that he could not answer, those questions that will be addressed in closed session will certainly open up the door to more truth. finally what i would like to say is i would like to see when carter page, michael flynn, jared kushner are all brought to testify. i would like to see them withstand and honor and answer questions as straightforwardly as fbi director comey did. one final point and one thing that r

lordy, i hope there are tapes. >> comey called the flynn conversation concerning, but says he drew no conclusions. >> i don't think it's for me to say whether the conversation i had with the president was an effort to obstruct. >> we spoke with congresswoman barbara lee of oakland who was comfortable saying what comey would not. >> i think that the testimony was very objective, but also to me with what comey said today, if this does not constitute an obstruction of justice, i don't know what does. >> thank you very much. thanks. >> president trump ignored questions about comey's testimony this afternoon at the white house. but his attorney weighed in. >> the president feels completely vindicated and is eager to continue moving forward. >> and we posted video of some of the most talked about moments from today's hearing at abc7news.com. you can also watch it by downloading our abc7 news app. >> as you know, the golden state warriors are one win away from sweeping the cavaliers in the nba finals. they beat the cavs last night in a nail-biter 118-113. now, there is one woman in cleveland

>> lordy, i hope there are tapes. >> can you comment on whether or not there are tapes? >> i can't comment. i work in the white house. >> we have to lot to unpack beginning with president trump firing back at the former fbi director james comey, of course. we have learned that the outside counsel will file a complaint over the leaking and i have a great team to break it all down with me. nbc's kristen welker at the white house. what do we know? >> reporter: steph, let me give you the latest reporting and peter alexander got this news, steph. according to peter, a source close to the outside legal team tells nbc news that marc kasowitz will be filing a complaint with the doj's inspector general and the senate judiciary committee given former fbi director comey's statements yesterday that he leaked out his own memos. steph, expect the leaks to be a key focus here for this president and for his surrogates in the wake of the comey testimony. we heard from president trump today. of course, yesterday was remarkable, right? because we didn't hear from him about any of this. he

that came up and james comey owe said "lordy, i hope there are tastes." essentially he's saying bring it on, oh, there are tapes of our conversations? now we have the president and comey saying if there are tapes let's air them out. it's interesting. it was never going to be comey's job to say i believe a crime has been committed, it's obstruction of justice. that was not his role today. his role was to describe the conduct and he made clear he believes it's up to somebody else, the special counsel, bob mueller to the determine if the fact he is alleges amount to obstruction of justice. >> ultimately we'll see another hearing when this is done, this is a expect of it. mueller is going to present this evidence and it will be a fascinating question he'll be asked. if this was a private citizen could you bring a case of obstruction of justice? and how he answers that question, that will have a big influence on how congress reacts but ultimately this is is a critical question. >> it always is. people ask me what is the standard for impeachment. it's whatever

lordy, i hope there are tapes. >> martha: lordy, i hope there are tapes.sive day behind me. james comey speculation tonight about one finding moment that could go down in history. from today's hearing, what will people be talking about in the years to come? here now karl rove, former chief of staff to george w. bush. and bill bennett, both are fox news contributors. we have that moment i would just watch. jim comey sort of self reflected up in that moment thinking about why he did or did not make a different choice there. and i want to play one other moment, then i will get bill bennett to react to both of them. this is the one that stood out for him. let's play that. >> the president put it on friday that i hope there is not tapes. i woke up in the middle of monday night. there might be cooperation for our conversation that might be a tape. my judgment was, i needed to get that out into the public square. i asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with the reporter, i did not do it myself for a variety of reasons, but i asked him to because

lordy, i hope there are tweets. all i can do is hope. the president surely knows whether he taped me. if he did, my feelings aren't hurt. release all the tapes. i'm good with it. >> you know, dana, i don't know if it's real or virtual, but i saw it on twitter, t-shirts that say, lordy, i hope there are tapes. probably somebody is taking them and selling them for $20. >> without question, yes. >> what about that? he keeps finding himself in these situations of his own making, and this is a classic example of that. at some point, doesn't mueller have to say, are there tapes or not? and if there are tapes, hand them over. >> i'm sure that moment has come and being asked. we already know that comey's handed over his files to mueller already. so surely that will occur. i think that line, "lordy, i hope there are tapes" line will be what future generations remember from this one. that might have been the joseph welch line from the mccarthy hearings. that will come down to it. knowing what we know of trump, he was almost surely bluffing and try
