re: Can someone summarize Comey's testimony for me?

I tend to agree with you. The only three takeaways for me is if a republican is asking if he was ordered to stop the Flynn investigation the answer is "no". If a democrat asks him the answer is "maybe".
He leaked a memo
He called media using anonymous sources to report on classified info fake news.
Other than hat we already knew everything. (We didn't know the lynch thing by that doesn't ping on my radar as a big deal)

These are all a summary of his testimony, not my opinion:
-Lynch asked him to call Clinton investigation a "matter" to the press.
-Trump lied about the morale and functioning of the FBI
-Trump didn't ask him to end an investigation, but he took what Trump said to mean that
-Comey released memos about his private meeting with President Trump to manipulate justice department into naming special counsel. One or more of the leaks might have contained secret info
-Trump firing him will have no impact on the investigation.

Comey admitted that BILL CLINTON IS A RAPIST!

8) Comey leaked the memo's of the Trump meetings so he could get the special prosecutor. Whether this was breaking executive priveledge is up to debate since none of the memos were classified. But a lot of people here seem to think that Comey is going to jail for it, but I really doubt it, considering that Comey is a not only the former head of the FBI but also a lawyer so he wouldn't do something so obvious to get himself into trouble.
Any documentation generated on work time, regarding work matters are property of the employee's institution.
The memos Comey made are FBI property
You can't go around giving FBI property to your professor friend and tell him "give this to the news paper"

Lets just see if that has any legs, I'm willing to bet it goes nowhere.

He revealed nothing of importance that we didn't already know It was a giant waste of time
I figured but didn't know that the Clinton/Lynch meeting impacted the announcement of no charges but now we know for certain that it did.
I figured Comey was leaking a bit but now we know for certain.

Trump is a liar.
Trump lied.
Did this happen like the pres said?
No. No. No again.

Trump is a tactless dumbass but didn't do anything which can be proven that constitutes an impeachable offense.
Trump himself was not under investigation
Russia did attempt to effect our election results and Trump's administration has misled Congress and the American people on that matter
He confirmed that he misled Congress during earlier testimomy and that he leaked privileged info to the NYT
Hillary is a POS who under diffeent circumstances would have been prosecuted, and Loretta Lynch tried to minimize that investigation
Overall, things come out looking worse for Comey/Dems than Trump. We already knew Trump was a blunt instrument, but Comey essentially called himself a liar and effectively that Hillary was such a weak candidate all it took was Russia leaking shite to get her beat.

Well first you have to prove it cane from the "Clinton camp." Then of course using the word "matter" has you be proven as a motive for a crime you have to prove.
