I’ll admit that I did not watch all of it, just snippets for a few minutes at a time. Reading the transcript, though, is very, very different from having seen it on TV.

What should have been an easy meet and greet for Donald Trump, attempting to woo Republican Senators, turned into a typical Trump kerfuffle, allowing the media to move from the Hillary email scandal to other shiny objects (Washington Post) When Flake stood up and introduced himself, Trump told him, “You’ve been very critical of me.†[…]

The Hillary email scandal decision was laid out perfectly by FBI Director James Comey for Donald Trump to use to beat Hillary. While Comey said he would not recommend charges, he spent three-fourths of his televised comment saying exactly how she did wrong and broke the law.
