I came away from watching the hearing with a much different impression than the Globe editors.
The Democrats did not seem to have done any prep or planning and their questions over-reached without landing any new hits.  At times it seemed the deponents struggled to remain somber.  
In contrast the two Repugs from Ohio were effective questioners with clear objectives and questions that led somewhere. The had Comey agree that a lot of what is reported in the media has been false. And they made some headway on questioning the merits of surveillance.
I suppose I'll be insulted and accused Now, but those are my honest impressions.
