I hope there is a video of his insane questions and badgering Comey on nonexistent issues. Clinton is part of the Russia investigation? Why did Comey close her Russian investigation but not Trump's? No matter how many times Comey tried to show him how off course he was, McCain persisted (like a nut case) to the very end of his time limit.

He looked lost half the time. He's lost it.
