It didn't take long for gay comedian Randy Rainbow to satirize Tuesday's insulting Senate testimony of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who struggled this week to explain his actions regarding the firing of former FBI director James Comey.

Rainbow pairs "Summer Nights," from the 1977 musical Grease, with the Senate testimony of both Sessions and Comey. The former FBI director was fired last month by Donald Trump, who first said Comey was canned because he treated Hillary Clinton unfairly in the investigation over her use of a private email server (sure, Jan). Later, Trump would give an interview and tell Russian officials that he terminated Comey because of the FBI investigation into Russian hacking of the 2016 election and the possible collusion of the Trump campaign. Sessions oversaw the firing of Comey even though he recused himself over anything involving the Russia investigation -- because he himself lied over interactions he had with Russians.
