John McCain Offers Batty Explanation for His Baffling Comey Questioning
After becoming a social-media laughingstock Thursday morning with his line of questioning for Comey, Arizona senator McCain took to Twitter to explain himself — or, rather, blame the situation on his home-state baseball team, the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Senator McCain puzzled many during his questioning of Comey, repeatedly asking the former FBI head how the bureau could have completed its investigation into Hillary Clinton last July when the investigation into the Donald Trump campaign remains ongoing.
In a more detailed, non-baseball related explanation, McCain continued, What I was trying to get at was whether Mr. Comey believes that any of his interactions with the President rise to the level of obstruction of justice.
In the case of Secretary Clinton’s emails, Mr. Comey was willing to step beyond his role as an investigator and state his belief about what ‘no reasonable prosecutor’ would conclude about the evidence.
