Former FBI Director James Comey testified on the Trump-Russia probe at the US Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday. It was the first public appearance of Comey since his firing in May.

Gevorg Mirzayan, associate professor at the Department of Political Sciences of Finance University under the Russian Government, wrote in an analytical piece for RIA Novosti that while the main subject at the testimony was supposed to be whether US President Donald Trump is professional and trustworthy, after the testimony the question emerged whether Comey himself was professional enough.

Obstruction of Justice?

Comey confirmed previous media statements saying that Trump wanted the former FBI chief to “pledge loyalty” to him, asked to stop the investigation into former national security advisor Michael Flynn because “he is a good guy” and to confirm his campaign team has no ties with Moscow.

The decision whether Trump’s requests were an “obstruction of justice” will be made by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, while the House could officially make a charge.

However, are there chances that Trump would really be accused of “obstruction of justice”? His opponents have hoped that Comey would shed light on Trump’s pressure concerning the probe into Flynn who is de facto accused of working for Moscow. Comey said Trump hoped the investigation would stop.

“I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go,” Comey quoted the US president as saying in his written testimony ahead of Thursday’s hearing.
