The questioning of James Comey by the Senate Intelligence Hearing wrapped up the only way it could in 2017, with Senator John McCain incoherently babbling and/or suggesting maybe that Hillary Clinton should be investigated for helping the Russians get Trump elected?
Who the hell knows that John McCain was trying to say? It was babbling nonsense by one of Trump’s leading Republican critics (in name) that left not only James Comey confused, but all of Twitter, which at least had some fun with what was an otherwise serious and somewhat substantive hearing.
Here’s what Twitter had to say on the matter.

Seems like the Straight Talk Express went a bit off the tracks today.

Senator McCain has in essence just asked why Comey didn't prosecute Clinton for helping the Russians get Trump elected.

I think what Sen McCain is saying is that FBI should investigate if Hillary Clinton colluded with the Russians to hurt her own campaign. OK.

"Senator McCain, do you know where you are? What is your middle name? DO YOU TASTE COPPER IN YOUR MOUTH? DO YOU SMELL BURNT TOAST?"

Comey: I don't…what?
McCain: I thought you said that.
Comey: What?
McCain: I'm very troubled.

McCain has spent every cycle since 2000 cutting out pieces of his own spine in order to chase power, and now he can no longer stand upright.

Did McCain just return from a long trip to The Black Lodge? #ComeyDay

Comey gently glad-handing a confused McCain is all of us engaging with an elderly relative. https://t.co/SPM4TGTVtl
