Comey is handling this really well. I wonder if he's had a parent or grandparent suffer from dementia because he's remarkably patient.

Oh holy poo poo I wish I had a screenshot of Comey's concerned and confused wide-eyed stare while McCain was rambling. "poo poo. Is he dying? Is McCain literally going to stroke out and die right now?!"

edit: well, hell

McCain: "Uhhh Mr Comey why haven't you emailed an investigation on Trump when the Russians are phones and the scandal hearing!?"

Comey: :catstare:

McCain seemed to be implying that all investigations take the same amount of time to conclude, and that they are unfairly dragging Trump's investigation on.

Well no, the email server investigation was pretty straightforward and easy to investigate. This Trump poo poo is complex and will take a while.

Hahahaha, all of these Republicans trying to shift back to the Clinton emails. I know it's because that was the "justification" for Comey's firing but it's still such a dumb line of questioning.

You'd think a guy that Trump just short of literally poo poo on would be playing less for the Republican ball game

Well, this is bad. Part of the calculation that the GOP might fail to get to 50 assumed that Dean Heller might want to continue being a Senator after 2018. If he's willing to sacrifice his career for the AHCA, that makes it easier to find the votes.

Listening to the WaPo stream, not happy that they categorized what Comey did as a "leak" but at least they pointed out why he gave that information out.
