As the President publicly stated the next day, he did say to Mr. Comey, quote, general Flynn is a good guy, he has been through a lot, closed quote. And also, quote, asked how General Flynn is doing, closed quote. Admiral Rogers testified today that the President never, quote, directed him to do anything illegal, immoral, unethical or inappropriate, closed quote. And never, never, quote, pressured him to do so, closed quote. Director Coats said the same thing. The President likewise never pressured Mr. Comey.
