Tueday's firing of FBI director James Comey sent shockwaves through Washington and beyond. The dust still hasn't settled with Democrats referencing Watergate and many Republicans throwing their support behind president Trump's decision. So far, congressional reaction has ranged from that support to calls for a special prosecutor or an independent investigation.
The New York Times has been keeping track of every single reaction and the following infographic provides an overview of where lawmakers stand on the Comey situation.
