Legal experts questioned whether Trump's private encounters with Comey could be considered privileged.Kasowitz plans to file a complaint early next week about Comey's disclosure of conversations with the president, a person close to the legal team said on Friday.He will file the complaint with the Justice Department's inspector general and also make a "submission" to the Senate's judiciary and intelligence committees about Comey's testimony.Comey's testimony added fuel to critics' accusations that Trump's actions around the Russian Federation probe might have amounted to obstruction of justice.Collins said she believed Trump did not understand the boundaries between the White House and FBI."It is totally wrong - I'll go beyond inappropriate - it is wrong for the president of the United States to tell or imply to an FBI director that an investigation should not go forward", she told CNN. But there was no rest for partisan spinners. The committee also sent a letter to Comey asking for any notes or memos in his possession about the discussions he had with Trump before being abruptly fired last month.
During his opening monologue, Colbert also made light of many parts of the hearing, from Comey's height to the former Federal Bureau of Investigation director saying Trump's comments about him and the Federal Bureau of Investigation were "lies, plain and simple".
The ad lambasted Comey as "just another D.C. insider" and included images of militant attacks overseas to suggest Comey had not been focused enough on protecting Americans.
He asserted that nothing in Comey's testimony to the Senate pointed to collusion with Russian Federation or obstruction of justice.
Rubio's questioning was followed by Wyden, who asked Comey why, after Trump told him to "let go" of the Flynn case, he didn't go to his boss, Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
"I don't think it's for me to say whether the conversation I had with the President was an effort to obstruct", Comey testified. Comey didn't tell his own investigators about the conversation, he said, to protect them from undue influence. This character indictment can not come as a surprise to anyone who has observed Donald Trump over the past two years.
"It's the most insane thing I've ever heard", Coulter said.
"Lordy, I hope there are tapes!", Comey exclaimed during the hearing, as Trump just prays the story goes away.

He wrote: "Despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication. and WOW, Comey is a leaker!"
Comey told the Senate panel that he shared an unclassified memo about his February conversation with Trump about Flynn because he hoped it would lead to the appointment of a special counsel. It may prove injurious - possibly fatal - to the political fortunes of the Trump administration.
And many of those Republicans raised concerns with the president's actions even as they doubted the weight of Comey's testimony.
"This whole thing is a giant nothing-burger", the conservative website Breitbart News wrote as Comey talked, "except for Comey implicating himself as a leaker".
Mr Comey had first recorded details of his interactions with the President in a series of memos.
For those who paid close attention, that wasn't entirely new. But aides and senators said it may be hard to compel Comey, now a private citizen, to return for more questions - this time from a panel packed with former federal prosecutors and state attorneys general whose queries may be more pointed. Prodded specifically by Arkansas Sen.
Coulter said the hearing was more evidence that there's absolutely nothing to the allegations about collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian Federation. Subsequent reporting by the Times and other media outlets have verified the reporting, she said. What we got at the hearing was the raw morality play, told in Comey's words, about his dealings with a president whose behavior frightened him.
"This is not privileged information", Dean said bluntly. Comey told the senators that he was confident that Mueller would make that determination. One humorous moment relieved the tension, when Comey explained to Sen.
