Arizona Sen. John McCain raised eyebrows Thursday with a string of questions during James Comey's hearing that many observers found confusing and downright bizarre.
McCain, the final lawmaker to question the former FBI chief, seemed to conflate the federal investigation of Russian election interference with the Hillary Clinton email probe.
The veteran lawmaker then appeared to suggest the FBI was guilty of a double standard, effectively clearing the former Democratic nominee for her use of a private server while keeping the heat on President Donald Trump and his campaign associates for their possible ties to Russia.
In the case of Hillary Clinton, you made the statement that there wasn't sufficient evidence to bring a suit against her, although it had been very careless in their behavior, but you did reach a conclusion, in that case that it was not necessary to further pursue her, yet at the same time in the case of Mr. Comey you said that there was not enough information to make a conclusion," McCain said, confusing Comey for the president.

McCain later asked, "You're going to have to help me out here. In other words, we're complete, the investigation of anything that former secretary Clinton had to do with the campaign is over and we don't have to worry about it anymore?"
"I'm a little confused," Comey replied.

Now you are a doctor now, WOW!!!! You would not be saying this if McCain was voting for this crap Bill health, care bill. This is the same Trojan Horse of a bill, the the Republicans had seven years to come up with.
I've never known McCain to be stable, at least since 2008 when he ran against Obama. Now he's just trying to go down in history as a champion of "regular order" because he might not be around much longer. Are you now a fan of this right-wing war-hawk Republican? Hmm.
Steve, I am for, people keeping their Healthcare and this attempt of the passing of the Republican bill fail.
We'll know soon enough.
My Senator is for it.

McCain's brain has been damaged by the cancer. Unfortunate, but such a person should not be casting votes on the Senate floor.
