It's incredible to watch the GOP twist and obscure and project and pretend and obfuscate.

They're betting that the people listening won't know the law and will be open to innuendo stated as fact, and they're throwing everything they've got at this pseudo-investigation.

Thank goodness the Democrats are actually sticking to facts, as is Comey. But The GOP can't stop baiting him and us. In fact they've become master baiters.

1. In some regard they will succeed in their character assassination

Many will believe it to be completely true.

4. Tragic but true. And they're drawing lines between totally unrelated things to do it.

It takes considerable obsession (and I've got it) to parse out the difference between what they're accusing and what is reality. Fortunately Comey is good at what he does.

2. Welcome to the wide world of fascism.

Since they have nothing worthwhile to offer, they'll always try to skate by on innuendo against opponents and of course on their divide-and-conquer approach (usually along ethnic lines of some kind).

This strategy would usually flat on its face - except that they typically have big media on their side.

Qué será.

3. They're making jackasses of themselves

Which seems to be absolutely normal behavior for Republicans.
No wonder they always lose.
