James Comey, the 6-foot-8-inch Sasquatch masquerading as the director of the FBI, is on Capitol Hill all day testifying at the Senate Judiciary Committeeโs oversight hearing of the Justice Department. While this is usually a routine, annual hearing, on Wednesday, Comey spent much of his time defending himself against Hillary Clintonโs statements Tuesday that she lost because of his interference.

โI was on the way to winning until the combination of Jim Comeyโs letter on Oct. 28 and Russian WikiLeaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me but got scared offโand the evidence for that intervening event is, I think, compelling [and] persuasive,โ Clinton said at a Women for Women International event in New York on Tuesday.
