The day has finally arrived! An election? Christmas? A One Direction concert? You’d think it was all those things rolled into one, because everyone in Washington, D.C. is losing their minds.

Today is the day that former FBI director James Comey will testify in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee. #ComeyDay is already trending on twitter.

This morning, reporters waited in front of Comey’s home, waiting for him to get into his car and travel to the much-awaited hearing.

Bars in D.C. are opening early to accommodate eager Comey fans so that they can watch the hearing live. One pub on Capitol Hill is even offering free drinks every time President Trump tweets during the big event.

The excitement is palpable. This morning as early as 9:00 am, lines stretched in front of bars on Capitol Hill and central D.C.

Even the dogs of the District had opinions on Comey’s hearing:
