You do have to admire Republicans/conservatives. They are all - from Ryan and McConnell down to the lowliest Twitter egg - running with some version of "oh, haha Trump was just kidding with Comey and THE REAL STORY is Comey should have resigned and/or told Congress about it." This is so fucking stupid for reasons I don't even need to explain, but I am impressed that this was apparently beamed out directly into all of their brains at about 3AM. They're good.
