As far as Comey testimony, although he has told associates he will not accuse the president of obstructing justice, he will dispute the president’s contention that Comey told him three times he is not under investigation. The president allegedly said he hoped Comey would drop the Flynn investigation, a request that concerned Comey enough that he documented the conversation in a memo shortly after speaking with the president. In the memo, according to sources close to Comey who reviewed it, Trump said:   "I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go," during a February meeting. 

The request made Comey uncomfortable, but he will not accuse the president of obstructing justice. Isn’t it safe to assume that the director of the FBI would recognize obstruction of justice when he saw it? Are Democrats going to argue that Trump obstructed justice with Comey and the FBI director just didn’t notice?  ;)
