How big will comey's testimony actually be?

There is a fair bit of hype about his testimony this week. Not only on CNN, but other news outlets plus it is all over social media.
Do you think it will be impactful? How long will it dominate the news cycle? Will trump see the need to get it off the front page, how will he do it?
My $.02
* The testimony will be mostly yawnsville. While he will clear up some questions around the memos and conversations, comey will fall far short of saying trump obstructed justice. He will also remain largely silent on any evidence regarding Trump/Russia.
* If he produces the memos for the world to see, it will dominate the news cycle for 3-4 days, and be the primary subject on the sunday talk shows. But die down after that. If no memos, then it will die down in a day or so.
* I have no idea how trump will get it off. I assume he will say something controversial on twitter. If I was to guess, I would say something about Supreme Court.
eta: Mike Rogers testimony on Weds might be bigger.

Plenty of liberals will get their hopes up. All of them will be let down.
Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

It won't matter. It will be whatever the media makes it out to be.
Posted on 6/5/17 at 12:48 pm to Hawkeye95
It will be fodder for the MSM, thats all.

IMO, what he says will be nothing.
If Comey had something that groundbreaking to put out there, it would already be out there.

This.
The memo has been discussed ad nauseum, at this point showing it would probably be anti-climactic (depending on exact content).

um, the memos and the conversation with trump is already out there. And that is pretty big if you ask me.

The funny part, IMO, is if he does drop something huge, he will be in just as much trouble for lying about it the first time and then hiding it.

In media terms, it will be enormous.
In substantive terms, it will be very little.

It's only big if it's true; hell I can write a memo but doesn't mean it's the truth.

He will be vague enough in his responses for the MSM to insert X narrative and run with it until proven otherwise. Guilty until proven innocent

Well there are memos, not just memo. But yeah, it has been discussed a lot. We shall see what he has to say.

Comey is set to testify publicly at 10 a.m. Thursday and then will speak with members of the Senate Intelligence Committee in a closed session starting at 1 p.m.
The only thing of value will be in the bolded part.

Comey is going to get hit by GOP with "why did you testify in march that nobody has ever tried to stop an investigation on your watch"
Posted on 6/5/17 at 12:54 pm to Hawkeye95
It won't be good for Trump, but it also won't be a fireworks show. He'll refuse to answer any questions that directly relate to the investigation.

It will be a giant nothing burger.
Comey will speak in lawyer speak and hide behind "can't discuss that here" and zero will be learned, and the Senate knows this. This is all for the cameras.
