After former FBI Director James Comey delivers his highly-anticipated testimony in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Emily Bazelon, New York Times Magazine staff writer and Yale Law School research fellow, and David Leonhardt, the editor of The New York Times section The Upshot, go over highlights from the testimony.
@DLeonhardt: agrees with @emilybazelon that today's hearing brought @POTUS closer to impeachment "only marginally."

@DLeonhardt reminds us that "impeachment is a political decision."

@emilybazelon's last note is that James Comey was clearly worried about Atty General Jeff Sessions. Much more to learn about this dynamic.

One of @emilybazelon's headlines from Comey's testimony: Comey has a deep-seated suspicion of the president.
