Now here is where you are not thinking things out.. We saw the "public hearing".. There was also a closed hearing right after that were the real evidence would be heard.

The point you are missing here, is yes Comey told Trump that he wasn't a target at "that time", however Trump firing Comey and then publicly admitting he did it to ease the Russian investigation means Trump is now a target in a obstruction of justice case as it was also confirmed Sessions is now part of one.

You seem to have forgotten that because of Trump firing Comey, there is now a special prosecutor. The Special prosecutor happened "BECAUSE TRUMP FIRED COMEY"..

ie if you haven't got it yet, the entire fact that there is now a special prosecutor means Trump is now under investigation for obstruction of justice and Trump has already publicly admitted to obstructing justice.

You don't seem to understand today's hearing was about if Trump attempted to obstruct justice when he fired Comey. It wasn't about the Russian investigation, it was to find out what him and Comey had talked about leading up to him being fired..
