http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/watch-live-fbi-director-comey-testify-senate-judiciary-committee/WASHINGTON FBI Director James Comey will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday in a hearing on FBI oversight.
The hearing is expected to begin around 10 a.m. EST. Watch live in the player above.
The hearing will not directly address the bureaus months-long investigation of potential coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia, though senators are expected to ask about the issue.
The FBIs counterintelligence probe that began in late July is investigating possible coordination between Russia and Trump associates to sway the presidential election in Trumps favor. U.S. intelligence officials have blamed Russian intelligence services for interfering in the election through hacking Democratic email accounts.
Besides the FBI, House and Senate committees investigating Russian interference in the presidential election and ties between Trump aides and the Kremlin have been holding public hearings and could ultimately publicize their findings though its unclear how extensive those reports would be. Last week, congressional officials said Michael Flynn, Trumps first national security adviser, appeared to violate federal law when he failed to seek permission or inform the U.S. government about accepting tens of thousands of dollars from Russian organizations after a trip there in 2015. The Pentagons inspector general is investigating those payments.

I watched MSNBC tonight and heard it could take a year to complete the investigation.

(108,925 posts)6. Yes, it must be a giant investigation and they often take that long. I wonder if they mean
a year from last fall, when they started, or a year from now?

We don't have a year to dot every i and cross every t. The country (not to mention my nerves) couldn't take it. Comey has the goods NOW on all of them I know he does. At least the ones not currently in government; Flynn, Manafort, Page, Lewandowski, etc.
