Comey: ‘I Was So Stunned’ By Trump’s Request to Let Flynn Go

EXCERPT:

COMEY: "I was so stunned by the conversation that I just took it in. And the only thing I could think to say, because I was playing in my mind. because I wanted to remember every word he said. I was playing in my mind what should my response be, and that's why I very carefully chose the words. And Look, I -- I’ve seen the tweet about tapes, lordy, I hope there are tapes. I -- I remember saying, I agree he is a good guy as a way of saying I’m not agreeing with what you just asked me to do. Again, maybe other people would be stronger in that circumstance but that -- that was -- that’s how I conducted myself. I hope I’ll never have another opportunity. Maybe if I did it again I would do it better."
