No he said he took Trump's words as an order in the context they were delivered and deferred the obstruction charge to Meuller.

The first fact you put up is wrong... Come on at least get some good correct ones in before you go off the rails with lies.
BURR: Director Comey, did the president at any time ask you to stop the FBI investigation into Russian involvement in the 2016 U.S. Elections?
COMEY: Not to my understanding, no.
RISCH: You wrote them here and put them in quotes.
COMEY: Correct.
RISCH: Thank you for that. He did not direct you to let it go?
COMEY: Not in his words, no.
RISCH: He did not order you to let it go?
COMEY: Again, those words are not an order.

Nothing to add, right on-point, as usual.
What you saw was the news. You saw absolutely nothing of the actual investigations.
Comey has been a stellar presecutor for decades. His bosses at AG whether under Obama/Clinton or Trump now that is another story.. pros can hide their tracks and make the job pretty hard.

get that. Let me quote that for you again.
RISCH: Thank you for that. He did not direct you to let it go?
COMEY: Not in his words, no.
His words were not obstruction.
I will await your apology.
RISCH: He said, “I hope.” Now, like me, you probably did hundreds of cases, maybe thousands of cases charging people with criminal offenses. And, of course, you have knowledge of the thousands of cases out there that — where people have been charged.
Do you know of any case where a person has been charged for obstruction of justice or, for that matter, any other criminal offense, where this — they said, or thought, they hoped for an outcome?
COMEY: I don’t know well enough to answer. And the reason I keep saying his words is I took it as a direction.
RISCH: Right.
COMEY: I mean, this is the president of the United States, with me alone, saying, “I hope” this. I took it as, this is what he wants me to do.
(CROSSTALK)
COMEY: Now I — I didn’t obey that, but that’s the way I took it.
RISCH: You — you may have taken it as a direction, but that’s not what he said.
(CROSSTALK)
COMEY: Correct. I — that’s why...
RISCH: He said — he said, “I hope.”
COMEY: Those are exact words, correct.
RISCH: OK, do you (ph) — you don’t know of anyone that’s ever been charged for hoping something. Is that a fair statement?
COMEY: I don’t, as I sit here.
RISCH: Yeah. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

So comey, literally one of the top us prosecutors just did this without thinking and Mueller said go for it?
You folks need some critical thinking skills.

Hahahaha!!!!
Unbelievable! I proved in black and white exactly what he said.
Here was my first point that you claimed was a lie.
1. He admits that Trump’s words were not obstruction.
Here is what Comey said.
RISCH: Thank you for that. He did not direct you to let it go?
COMEY: Not in his words, no.
Hahahahaha!!!! Absolutely fantastic!
Its an amazing study in such staunch partisanship that someone like you can see proof in absolute black and white, and still absolutely deny the truth. I have tp applaud your unbelievable dedication to your false world narrative. I would never have the strength to so blatantly deny reality like you.
Now if you would have not been so blind to refuse to read the testimony or my OP, you will see after point 1, where you already have failed in saying it was a lie, I answer Comey's "feelings" as to why this is obstruction.
COMEY: I mean, this is the president of the United States, with me alone, saying, “I hope” this. I took it as, this is what he wants me to do.

So Comey didnt say this?

If you only take the one sound bite the Republican Senator fished for yes that is what was said. If you take the whole line of questioning, it is clear that it was more then just "Hope".
