Jun 6, 2017 12:34 PM UTC A Washington D.C. bar is hotly anticipating former [FBI Director James Comey’s testimony](http://time.com/4801610/james-comey-fired-senate-fbi-president-donald-trump-russia/) before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday. Shaw’s Tavern is so excited for Comey’s congressional hearing — which is likely to focus on private meetings between the ousted FBI director and President Donald Trump — that it is opening early to host a ‘covfefe,’ a reference to [Trump’s late-night tweet](http://time.com/4799171/merriam-webster-donald-trump-covfefe/) in May. “You know you want to watch the drama unfold this Thursday,” the bar posted on its Facebook event, [The Comey Hearing Covfefe](https://www.facebook.com/events/1481781788562648/). The bar will open at 9:30 a.m. and will offer an “FBI” sandwich — a spin on the BLT that includes fried chicken, bacon and iceberg lettuce. Those who want something sweeter can opt for the “FBI” breakfast: French toast, bacon and ice cream. Let the political theater commence. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4806907/dc-bar-shaws-tavern-covfefe-party-fbi-james-comey-testimony/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4806907/dc-bar-shaws-tavern-covfefe-party-fbi-james-comey-testimony/"},"headline":"D.C.
