I don't actually think McCain has Alzheimer's, but he is old and he swaggered in there, for some reason, and tried to act like some hot-shot TV prosecuter trying to get a "gotcha" moment on Comey. That was very evident; however, due to his age and maybe a late night last night, he didn't have the mental acuity to pull it off.
I get where he was going: he was trying to draw some conclusion that Comey was treating Clinton better than Trump. But the comparison was apples-to-oranges. That he didn't get that is puzzling.
And you know this because ...? Why would they want Trump and not Hillary? That makes no sense at all.

Yes I noticed that. Comey was very very careful with his answers, I am quite in awe of his ability to remain calm and careful under pressure!
I'm not sure though that Trump himself is guilty of any collusion as I can't imagine he'd have managed to not blurt it out on twitter himself if he was...!
... He laid a very good foundation for the rest of the investigation to be built upon, and you conveniently forget, they are behind closed doors right now, hearing classified info not for our ears. We simply got the Readers Digest condensed version, they are getting the nitty gritty.
...
you do realize that if Trump had tried to obstruct justice, then Comey would be guilty of a felony for not reporting it right?
you do realize that if Trump had tried to obstruct justice, Comey would be guilty of a felony for perjury because on 5/3 after his conversations with Trump, Comey testified before congress stating that he had never heard of a president trying to shut down an investigation....
this is a nothing burger because if there was a there there and if Comey is a saint like you say, he would have said so on May3...
Nope...there is no law requiring the head of the FBI or any agent to report a crime based upon a statement made to them by either an informant or the suspect. They are entirely within their rights to use that information to gather further evidence which might prove or disprove the statements. PS where did you ever hear otherwise?
You guys got nothing. Just like you had nothing when you said that Trump wouldn't even last through the primaries.
You're absolutely right. We overestimated the intelligence of the voting public and thought they would see the narcissistic, unqualified autocrat for what he really was.
How were we to know that lurking under the rotten political woodpile was a sizeable group of individuals who's main agenda was to destroy the pillars of democracy and the constitution by electing an egomaniac who is, this very minute, in the process of establishing one man rule.
Trump is no threat to Russia. Trump likes and admires Putin. He willingly has Russians meet him in the oval office. Russia sees Trump as somebody that can easily be manipulated. Russia has always been an enemy of the US. THis is an advantage to Putin!
Also, why was the only change Trump requested in the GOP platform a softened stance on Russia?
I thought it was sad to see McCain today. I've said it before but in the midst of aging parents and seeing dementia creeping in....the first steps are out of the blue you realize they aren't making sense.....and you can tell they know. I swear McCain knew he wasn't being coherent and he was trying to fix it but it got lost.
Yes, I thought this, too. There was a moment there, a long pause when he was struggling to figure out what he was trying to say, when he knew he was sounding incoherent. Then he gave up and just said something like, "Well, that's what I think, anyway."
He knew. I felt so bad for him in that moment, because I can't imagine what it feels like to know you are losing your mental faculties, And to do so before an international audience had to be especially painful.
