Clinton shouldn't be cleared if Trump isn't. What?? He just said there was a double standard. LOL, as if both investigations were identical.

The opening of the hearing about how this is "not partisan/political", the Repubs have all attempted to draw false equivalencies, distract, etc.

He completely lost me and I think he lost Comey as well. The email investigation was a separate issue from the the Russian hacking.

maybe not meaning to, but seems to be suggesting that Clinton is involved with Russian meddling.

WTH.

The investigation into Russian involvement could produce evidence Clinton was a part of it. Highly unlikely it will but it could.

The idiot senator was trying to claim that since Comey declared the Clinton email investigation as being closed that somehow also would absolve her of any potential findings in the Russia investigations. Obviously complete nonsense and made his bumbling attempt at it look foolish as hell.

11. I'm not sure if that was his intention or not, kept referring to Trump as President Comey by mistake

kept confusing his words, and was mumbling. I can't decide if his implication that Clinton may also be involved and connected to Russians was an intentional thought or not, since his stumbling sentences would be really hard to diagram.

I like to think even the most partisan Republican on that committee has to see that Clinton's only "involvement" in the Russian meddling was as a VICTIM and not as a perpetrator/conspirator.
