Conservative Pundits: Comey Vindicates Trump on Russia

Conservative pundits came at former FBI Director James Comey's prepared congressional testimony from many angles Wednesday, with many saying that they confirmed that President Donald Trump was not under investigation for any alleged Russia ties.

Here are some of their Twitter posts:

Bill Kristol, editor-at-large for The Weekly Standard:

Not described by Comey in his written statement:
Four of the phone calls with Trump; any interactions with WH staff; interactions with AG.

Radio host Mark Levin:

The media & Democrats hated Comey a few months ago, now they love him; they are building Comey up to tear down Trump https://t.co/dlVP1IbxXX

Columnist Ben Shapiro:

If Dems hadn't wildly overplayed the notion that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016, Comey testimony would hurt him. They did. So it won't.

Rich Lowry, editor of The National Review:

So it turns out Comey really did tell Trump he wasn't under investigation

Blogger and radio host Erick Erickson:

For all the Dems amazed like me to see so many Republicans suddenly embracing Russia, I'm amazed at your embrace of Iran b/c of Obama.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton:

Comey's testimony confirms @RealDonaldTrump was accurate and did nothing wrong. And that Comey deserved to be fired. https://t.co/uZcUvQgcPV

Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice:

#JamesComey is not a credible witness, so how can we trust that he'll tell the truth at tomorrow's #Senate hearing? #JayLive

Radio talk-show host Bill Mitchell:

If you believe James Comey only personally spoke to Obama twice in his entire time there, raise your hand. #smh
