We’ve collected some of our favorite, and not-so favorite, tweets regarding #ComeyDay.

People thought it slightly suspicious that Trump hadn’t tweeted all morning.

But his son, Donald Trump Jr., certainly did.

Oh, haha, yes, very funny, we’re all falling over laughing.

There were some people, albeit misinformed people, who criticized Comey.

Note to self: fact check is important.

We can’t tell whether this tweet is from the left or right. Before the whole Comey firing, some Democrats hated him for the double standard in the way he handled Clinton and Trump’s investigations. But afterwards, when it became clear that him testifying could be devastating for the president, a lot of Democrats began to warm up to him. Conversely, some Republicans appreciated the way he handled the investigations (potentially because it was a large factor in Trump’s election), but the way the Republicans on the Senate Intel. Committee treated him make it clear that they are quite invested in defending the President.

But much more who criticized McCain’s objectively awkward questioning:

Senator McCain, we all know that Trump insulted you before. A lot. And for a while it looked like you were going to be a lone Republican who stood for what he believed. So what happened? Oh, right - reelection bid.

On Comey’s “I don’t think I can answer that”

Here’s a tweet one longtime Trump advisor.

We could not verify that this is actually Robert Stone (due to the lack of verified checkmark) - however, take note of its many retweets. FBI Director’s memos generally can be given credibility, and besides recording the interaction in a memo, Comey did report the “alleged attempt” to senior officials at the FBI (note: not to the agents conducting the Flynn investigation).

And another tweet denying Trump’s obstruction of justice, pointing fingers again to Clinton:

“But her emails!!!” - every Republican right now

Wait. There’s no way. Paul Ryan criticizing Trump for once?

Just kidding.

We’ll just leave you with a pretty great tweet from the NAACP.
