Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) on Thursday reflected ruefully on his questions to fired FBI Director James Comey during an open session of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
“I get the sense from Twitter that my line of questioning today went over people’s heads,” McCain said in a statement. “Maybe going forward I shouldn’t stay up late watching the Diamondbacks night games.”
Anybody know what McCain is talking about?

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?

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.

I don't know what was up with John McCain but I'm pretty sure Hillary Clinton didn't collude with the Russians to hack herself & elect Trump

McCain said he wanted to find out whether Comey believed “that any of his interactions with the President rise to the level of obstruction of justice.”
“While I missed an opportunity in today’s hearing, I still believe this question is important, and I intend to submit it in writing to Mr. Comey for the record,” he said.
I don’t stay up late to watch the game if I’ve got a teleconference in the morning, and I’m half your age, senator.

Maybe you should retire already and allow Arizona to get some fresh blood and brainpower in the Senate for a change. Its time gramps. Waaay past your due date. Go to one of your many houses your wife has and just chill already, would ya?
Bullshit. Your enfeebled mind constructed a non-existent connection between Hillary Clinton (OOGA BOOGA) and the Russian election meddling. Time to retire, you senile old coot.
Um, er, well, um…
Sir, if your line of questioning wasn’t designed to confuse the public, leave Comey saying that he’d spoken to a lot of humans, force your fellow senators to hide their faces so that their true WTF feelings couldn’t be seen, provide bewilder but raucous laughs at DC bars, and make you look like a demented doddering old man, then yes, I’d have to days that your line of questioning went over many people’s heads. Perhaps everyone’s head. Quite a feat there!
Um, yeah, sure, what the heck, good, okay…
