Former FBI Director James Comey's interview on ABC News Sunday night amounted to a rehashing of old news and Comey refusing to answer any straight questions, instead saying that all things are "possible."

Comey said it's possible Trump hired hookers to pee on a bed in Russia, it's possible Trump's compromised by the Russians, and it's possible Trump committed obstruction of justice by telling Comey that Michael Flynn is "a good guy," and telling him, "I hope you can let this go."

Comey on whether Trump was compromised by the Russkies:

STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you think the Russians have something on Donald Trump?

COMEY: I think it’s possible. I don’t know. These are more words I never thought I’d utter about a president of the United States, but it’s possible.

STEPHANOPOULOS: That’s stunning. You can’t say for certain that the president of the United States is not compromised by the Russians?

COMEY: It is stunning and I wish I wasn’t saying it, but it’s just — it’s the truth. I cannot say that. It always struck me and still strikes me as unlikely, and I would have been able to say with high confidence about any other president I dealt with, but I can’t. It’s possible.

Comey on the alleged pee tape:

COMEY: I honestly never thought these words would come out of my mouth, but I don't know whether the current president of the United States was with prostitutes peeing on each other in Moscow in 2013. It's possible, but I don't know.

Comey on whether Trump committed "obstruction of justice" by allegedly telling him he "hopes" he can let the Flynn investigation go:

COMEY: It's certainly some evidence of obstruction of justice. It would depend and — and I'm just a witness in this case, not the investigator or prosecutor, it would depend upon other things that reflected on his intent.

The rest of the interview was Comey talking about his feelings and inadvertently revealing his entire family is partisan Democrats who supported Hillary Clinton for president, cried the night Trump won and attended the Women's March the day after his inauguration.
