Apparently he's blaming it on a late night watching baseball.

"The senator's time's expired."

Indeed.

Ronald Reagan was a senile old man who barely knew where he was, he regularly confused movies he had been in with reality. He built Star Wars,because it was in a movie he had been in. No one thought it would or could ever work, and it never,ever,did. When he testified he could not recall, he wasn't lying.

Grampa needs a nap.

I didn't get that at all from watching it but maybe it was the title that had me on the lookout for clear signs.
Sure he fumbled with the pres and comey bit but other than that he was simply sticking to his point until he hopefully squeezed out some answers.
People misspeak a word or two all of the time in these things.
If he were younger one wonders what the fuss would be all about.

Not at all.
Besides confusing names repeatedly, he could not grasp the difference between Comey announcing the Clinton email investigation was over, with no charges pending, and the continuing investigation over Russian involvement in the election. He repeatedly accuses Comey of giving Clinton a pass, saying she's been cleared...'but the Russian probe is still going, so how is she cleared and Trump isn't?' He simply can't understand they are two separate cases, and Clinton was involved in both....as the victim in the latter. She was NEVER a suspect in the Russian interference investigation, but everyone near Trump still is, with more connections coming to light weekly (despite their denials and efforts to hide them).

If he were younger, people would be accusing him of being high or in the midst of a total mental breakdown, not just being tired and old.

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. I wanted Mr. Comey to apply the same approach to the key question surrounding his interactions with President Trump — whether or not the president’s conduct constitutes obstruction of justice,” McCain said in the statement.

This is what I got from it but I was forgiving of his way of making this point.

The double standard but yes he was not in his prime there lol

The difference being, the Clinton investigation was completed, the Russian one was just starting. If he had exonerated Clinton at the outset, ok, fair point, but he didn't....then the non story of "New" emails that weren't new made him "correct" his previous statement, then correct the idea that anything new was found. Those mistakes together harmed his reputation badly. Thrice bitten, twice shy...I think that was Comey's position, and it makes sense to me.

The question of obstruction was taken out of his hands by Trump, it's improper for him to give his, now, uninformed opinion which might contradict the continuing investigation.

Improper maybe but still relevant.

All those emails on an illegal server that went missing and he gave her a pass?

The investigation of Clinton was completed by the guy in question and whose alliances are questionable to say the least.

I'm not a Trump fan nor a fan of giving "any" crooks a pass.
