Senator John McCain tried to question former FBI director James Comey during today’s Senate Intelligence Hearing, but he seemed to be more than a little confused. McCain attempted to link the recent investigation to the one with Hilary’s emails, despite Comey correctly claiming that the former was ongoing while the latter was concluded. He simply couldn’t fathom the difference. McCain came across as both quite sleepy and more than a little misinformed about FBI procedure.

Saying “the senator’s time has expired” after McCain spoke was the most accurate statement of the entire #ComeyHearing.

I’m jealous of John McCain because he seems to be the only person unaware that the 2016 election already happened.

That’s the truest statement I’ve heard all day

MCCAIN: Now, Mr. Comey, let me ask you this — have you ever had a really good piece of salt water taffy?

[mccain looking at an omelette] how can these eggs be cooked while there are other eggs in the kitchen that are uncooked? i am confused

I’m honestly confused with McCain’s line of questioning. McCain wants to know if the Clinton camp colluded w/ Russians so they could lose?
