Hell, let us all be lucky enough to be that sharp and that productive at 80.

Absolutely an incredibly accomplished public servant. I still don't know how to decypher what he was saying though. He seemed confused?

I think the point he was trying to make is how could Hillary be exonerated and case closed if the Russian investigation is still ongoing.

…And he was missing the point that those are related but ultimately separate issues.

They're really not even related, though - the HRC investigation was re: the private server/email issue, not Russian election meddling.

That's like saying you're troubled that Trump is still under investigation even though apples don't own dishwashers.

Perhaps it's a good thing he brought it up, because we would never have thought to make that distinction clear for everybody.

Whoa whoa whoa, let's not skip past this whole apples and dishwashers thing. Do the apples have an email server?

I agree. I'm worried he's having cognitive issues, which in a U.S. Senator is dangerous for him and for us as a nation.

Yeah, but he's still a working public servant. He needs to be able to do his job. At that age, my dad opted to stop driving.

Agree w/ poking fun part. But are you OK with his degree of confusion? It raises concerns about his capacity.

I think there's a respectful way to have that conversation.

@SenJohnMcCain spent his 70th birthday w/Paul Manafort on the yacht of Russian oligarch Deripaska. #ComeyHearings http://slate.com/articles/news_ …

Doesn't change my opinion that he was confused, and couldn't follow his own line of questioning, and mixed up words.

And all that is an absolutely fair critique. I was watching and cringing.

It saddens me, truth be told. Same guy who stopped a woman at his town hall from making false & (in her mind) derogatory comments re: Obama.
