Just quickly trawled through it, but I do not see anything that makes the POTUS do anything illegal or doggy.

If comey find some of it awkward it's how he experienced it. However one could ask, if a FBI director finds this awkward, he need to grow a thicker skin.

I am watching it as well and a little confused by the document above.

I thought it was classified? I was under the impression that Comey had submitted a written document to those asking the questions and it contained classified information, which was why he would not be repeating its contents in an open session.

So is the document above, just a work of fiction, or the real thing?

It's real.
Comey himself says he submitted it. You can look around the .gov website where it is posted.

Its not 'awkward', its 'obstruction of justice' when a president attempts to stop an investigation by the FBI.

True, but in this instance only if you can prove that the words issued by the President were an order or a desire / wish ... At the moment it's his word vs the Presidents ... Just need Trump to issue a tweet to drop himself in it.

Comey: "No explicit order, but I interpreted it as an instruction" --- Well, it seems that the case is closed. Like a cheese soufflé, the case is emptied of its substance. Trump can continue to govern quietly

Right.

If I say to someone "Give me all your money, or you might get hurt"... I'm not saying that I'm going to hurt them am I? I'm not threatening them with anything, I'm just saying that if they don't give me money I might not be able to afford proper shoes, and I might fall over on top of them if I ever see them again.
