Comey Comedy

Republican's can't help themselves.  They stepped on their punchline.  Decades of attacks on Hillary finally produced a serious unforced error.  Her pursuit of privacy, and control, resulted in a quotable upbraiding from the Director of the FBI.

Trump's stream of consciousness took him everywhere from rigged system, to mosquitos, to doubling down on his retweeting of  white supremacist, anti-Semitic material.  The appearance of Comey before the House was all Hillary could hope for.  Conspiracy theories, and attacks on Comey and his decision, overshadowed his harsh criticism of Clinton.  The GOP conspiracy skit made no sense, since Comey donated thousands to McCain and Romney's campaigns.

The GOP slapstick routine may play to their base, but has critics, and the critical independents, laughing at them, not with them.
