Comey says Trump "Lied!" Where are the Details?

So I am seeing a lot about Trump taking a "hit" because Comey said that Trump "Lied!"
So what does that mean?
I go to Dr. Google and this is what I find on the testimony from today:
NYTs:
Then from the Guardian:
So we have Comey on record saying Trump lied about things that are basically opinions. Comey says he isn't a nutjob - Trump lied! Comey says he hadn't lost support of his agents - Trump lied!
So a guy that kept detailed notes of their interactions called Trump a lair but didn't produce any details. Not one, "On this date, Trump said he was wearing a red suit. This was obviously a lie, my notes say he was wearing blue."
Another thing that jumped out at me, Comey played both sides of the fence by going after Lynch. In the end, this was all about Comey and trying to frame his place in history. This was nothing about justice.

The Trump administration lied to smear the reputation of Comey and the FBI following his dismissal;

Comey proved to the world last year he is a nutjob and had no support from rank and file FBI. Trump had nothing to do with it, he earned those stripes on his own.
The hacks on Fox (hosts and guests) are saying it is "damaging" for Trump to be called a liar by the former head of FBI.
This Comey nonsense is approaching campaign season level of popcorn. The winning never stops.

The only reason he brought up his deficiencies is to make his story about Trump more believable. It's like, let me make myself look more vulnerable and then they will believe my other narrative.

Comey's made a career out of climbing the Wash DC civilian federal employee (SES level) ladder. You don't make it as high as Comey did by being a "boy scout" without an ounce of guile. He's a shrewd operator and knows exactly how to play politics and schmooze his way around the corridors of Wash DC power.
That's why Trump was so very foolish to fail to replace Comey right away.
Like I said, Trump is not ideological. He thought that he could work with everyone like people in business do. Trump was very, very wrong about this and he is politically damaged because he is so naive. Maybe one day he will realize that he is the target of an ideologically-fueled effort to unseat him and start acting accordingly.

So is Comey the liar or Trump? Or both.
The truthful and ever non bias media is literally claiming every one is lying but them.. trust the media

What I love is that Democrats are championing the fact that Comey said Trump lied. While running to the media that also lied.
All because they are butthurt that Hillary who the same man called careless and also lied didn't win.
All while the American people pay a large sum of money and our government wastes time to discover that shockingly politicians lie to all of us and the media is worse.

I don't know. I'm seeing a lot of "well, everyone already knew Trump was a liar" on the Twitter.
How so? My taco bowls are the best! Actually, Trump Tower taco bowls ranked 35th best by NY Mag type lying?
Or, if you like your plan you can keep your plan type lying?

Maybe the try our world famous grilled to perfection x lie.

I'm not sure anyone cares if Trump is a liar, just look at all of the shite he said during his campaign.

anyone who says trump don't lie is a liar.

Everyone lies, but what Comey said isn't a lie. It was a belief, and pretty much a backed belief by some, so not a lie...

Makes zero sense Comey would tell the truth about certain things, and lie about others in the same memo. But who knows?

Concise summary.
Edit to your third above...All while the American people pay a large sum of money while our government minions waste time to discover that shockingly politicians lie to all of us all of the time and the media facilitates each side's lies at an ever increasing rate of lying about the politicians lies.
FIFY !

I don't know about lying, but I know Comey backed Trump up twice saying that he was truthful. He said the NYT was basically fake news and that he in fact told Trump that he was not under investigation.

Exactly, when it actually came down to details, Comey proved Trump was telling the truth on those items.

So after perusing the news this morning, I'm still not seeing any facts being sighted that Trump lied about. It still looks like it comes down to Comey saying Trump lied about his feels.

Comey saying President Trump lied was referring only to President Trump's opinion that the FBI was in disarray and they lost confidence in Comey which is something Comey can't prove isn't true.
It's real easy to call someone a liar when you can't prove it!

The FBI was a mess, field agents were very pissed off when Comey went on LIVE TV and indicted HRC and then didn't.

Anything Trump says is believed by the majority. He is a narcissist and sociopath and those types can be very convincing.
