Q: (CNN) About halfway through the James Comey hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee, things got surprisingly medieval. In his written testimony submitted to the committee, Comey had reported that he was left alone with the President, and Trump said, "I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go." Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) and Comey both felt this was an attempt to tell Comey what to do, but to avoid giving him a direct order. In an earlier meeting, over an intimate dinner, Comey says Trump asked him for "loyalty."David Perry: James Comey and Angus King say Trump reminds them of King Henry II, who famously remarked: "'Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?"Perry: Trump is no medieval king and Comey is no Becket -- the metaphor falls short

A: King asked _, "Would you, do you take that as a directive?".

Q: Steve McClaren has re-emerged as the frontrunner to take over at Newcastle United – but the club’s hierarchy could be swayed by supporter backing for Patrick Vieira. Former Derby boss McClaren thought his chance had gone after turning down their offer to take charge of the final three games of the season, as well as rejecting a January advance in the wake of Alan Pardew’s exit.

Q: (CNN) Presidents often get angry, but most go to great lengths to hide their fits of rage and the impression that red faced fury rules their actions. Not Donald Trump. In three-and-a-half months in office, the 45th President has shown that indignation, impulsiveness and a prickly desire to protect his own self image are at the core of his governing philosophy. The latest example of the President's simmering fury has emerged in the aftermath of his firing of James Comey this week, apparently the culmination of long-brewing animosity towards the FBI director. Trump gave a glimpse of his irritation and impatience with Comey during an interview with NBC News on Thursday.Trump fired Comey on Tuesday"He's a showboat. He's a grandstander," Trump said

A:
The _ drama suggests serious downsides to such an approach.
