ANALYSIS: Comey goes nuclear in showdown with Trump

He accused the president and his top aides of lying. He suggested that the president wanted special treatment in exchange for loyalty. He said he thinks he lost his job because of how he handled the Russia investigation.

James Comey served notice that if President Donald Trump operates like a bully, there are powerful people who know how to punch back. The ex-FBI director's powerful, riveting testimony -- delivered under oath before the Senate Intelligence Committee -- overflowed with headlines and revelations that will resonate for months or longer.


Among the big takeaways: In Comey, Trump has made an enemy who knows the levers of Washington power and has already put in motion forces that are beyond the president’s ability to control.

The hearing established that -- in a point celebrated by the president’s allies -- Trump was not a target of an FBI investigation when Comey led the bureau. But Comey’s words and actions since being fired make it more likely that he is one now.
