Mr. Comey. Before I answer that, sir, my understanding is you were going to ask questions about decisions made in 2016, and that conversation occurred in February of 2017.
Mr. Gowdy. Director Comey, I understand when it occurred. We're looking at decisions made and not made in 2016 and 2017.
Mr. Comey. Okay.
Mr. Gowdy. So, when President Trump asked you to see your way clear to letting the Flynn matter go, was it just you and him in the room?
Mr. Comey. Yes.
Mr. Gowdy. So no one at the FBI knew, except you, that that comment had been made.
Mr. Comey. At the time it was made, correct.
Mr. Gowdy. All right. You decided to share it with others.
Mr. Comey. Correct.
Mr. Gowdy. Okay. So it was a conversation that only you -- it was a comment only you heard. I think your previous testimony was it had --

Mr. Comey. I think that's a fair summary of my testimony
