July 24, 2019
At last, it's Muellerday.
ADDED: I watched for the first 40 minutes, then bailed. Too much yelling by congresspersons. Too much stammering and "will you repeat the question" from Mueller. Mueller's testimony is the report. He's said that before and he's saying it again, over and over. With such a dull central character, the theatrical routine is boring and annoying.

Mueller (tuned in at random) talks about the reason for our "declination decisions."
Right ascension rules.
If he had anything to say, he was obliged to say it before now.
That was what his report was supposed to be about.
Fitzmas comes in July this year?
In b4 "this is it! Trump's finished!"
Mueller is stammering.
Mueller sounds tired.
Nadler's core argument: The report doesn't say the president is innocent. He might be guilty. If he were guilty, Mueller would not be able to say it. Mueller won't say it. Therefore, the president is guilty.
Don’t we pay Althouse to watch this kind of thing for us?
Yes, I used the portal again just yesterday.
Mueller is coming across as a confused elderly man.
Who was the really in charge of this investigation?
The subject did not drown, he is clearly a warlick.
The first Republican is wasting everyone's time.
a remarkable rumor is circulating among some Democrats. This is – in the words of one source – that Mueller is ‘slowly losing his faculties’, that at the age of 74, the former special counsel is going senile. The source went on to say that this was one reason why Mueller had been ‘so intent’ on limiting the time and scope of the hearings today.
Of course it had nothing to do with the fact that he knows his conclusions are indefensible under cross examination.
“Fitzmas comes in July this year?”
Fitzmas in July on MSNBC, counterprogramming to “Christmas in July” on Hallmark.
"Mueller is coming across as a confused elderly man."
It's the Blassey Ford strategy.
The first Republican is asking Robert "The FBI Whitewasher" Mueller to confirm numbers (subpoenas, witnesses, etc.) that are printed in the report.
What a waste of time!
“What a waste of time!”
One can only hope he has a plan. Like “All of this and you found no collusion?"
Watching now. Non partisan observation - Mueller seems a bit feeble. Any answer beyond yes or no sounds confused. Needs simple questions repeated.
Mueller: Trump is sort of guilty of something.
Me: You proved nothing. I don't care. Go away.
Don't lecture Robert "The FBI Whitewasher" Mueller!
Ask him questions!!
I'm surprised Mueller doesn't have a nurse behind him with an oxygen tank, like a mob boss feigning illness.
Collins just did a thorough job of showing how out to lunch Mueller is on his own report.
Mueller claimed collusion and conspiracy weren't synonymous and that his investigation didn't look into collusion. His own report literally says collusion and conspiracy are "synonymous."
Mueller then backtracks and agrees with Collins.
My question: How did Mueller conclude the Russian's tried to advantage Trump if he didn't look into the conduct of the Clinton campaign? Although Mueller can claim his mandate granted no such purview, his conclusion that Russia sought to advantage one candidate over the other would necessarily require looking into any activities with respect to both campaigns.
And is Mueller really appearing before the committee(s) with this guy?
There was a last-minute surprise from Mueller, a request to have a wet nurse present and sitting next to him during the hearings. The wet nurse is one Aaron Zebley, who you might remember was the attorney for the Hillary Clinton IT guy who set up the illegal basement server and smashed up Hillary's Blackberry phones. Why was this guy on Mueller's team since it seems like he has some very real conflicts of interest?
Sundance's proposed questions
On May 16, 2017, were you applying to become FBI Director?
Why did you go to the White House?
. . .
Great questions, but he's already ruled out answering any questions about the origin of the probe, citing DOJ guidance and IG Horowitz probe. As I expected.
Did Sheila Jackson Lee join the Turkish Navy or something?
All he needs is the bathrobe and he could Vincent the chin act.
Collusion is playing together. Conspiracy is breathing togetsher.

Can you imagine if Trump had done something like this? Shut up!
I wonder why they started so early. Giving the media time to come up with a spin against Trump?
WaPo people say - R questions are bad. Mueller is Jimmy Stewart.
It's got a very pirates of penzance feel to it.
I'm only watching to observe unhinged democrats, and ineffective questioning by republicans.
Now a Republican is asking Robert "The FBI Whitewasher" Mueller about the meaning of the word shall.
The Florida Supreme Court in 2000 found that “shall” actually means “shall not” so there is a lot in that word.
In previous appearances before Congress (reviewed by CNN dating as far back as 2001) Mueller definitely came across as sharp, feisty, knowledgeable, and humorous. WITHOUT A TRACE of his halting, unsteady press conference behavior.
CNN video: https://preview.tinyurl.com/y4zxm373
Today his responses to questions from the Republican side are frequently halting, unsteady and confused.
In about two weeks, Mueller will be 75.
"Approximately 15 to 20 percent of people age 65 or older have MCI [Mild Cognitive Impairment]."
"Experts classify mild cognitive impairment based on the thinking skills affected:
MCI that primarily affects memory is known as "amnestic MCI." With amnestic MCI, a person may start to forget important information that he or she would previously have recalled easily, such as appointments, conversations or recent events..."
https://www.alz.org/alzheimers-dementia/what-is-dementia/related_conditions/mild-cognitive-impairment
No wonder Mueller didn't want to take questions at his press conference.
Now we can see why.
This seems to be a seminar about semantics.
Mueller knows nothing, and he Dems are looking like fools.
Mueller is either deaf, or in early stages of dementia. No disrespect intended. I feel sorry for him...but he took the money. Democrats seem quite content to expose Muellers current state of mental deterioration, for the purpose of creating sound bites to be used during an election season.
The first Dem speechafier proclaimed the big deal was that the Russians had spied on a Political campaign and knew the Dem's strategy which stole the election.
That's Funny. The mass spying was done of ,by and for the Dems by the politicized FBI and DOJ and CIA and NSA( until Admiral Rodgers blew the whistle on the spies a week after Trump won) thus insuring a Clinton win.
The Clinton Gang lost an election rigged by spies,and rigged by paid for media and a rigged by fake polls.
Mueller clearly doesn't want to say anything beyond what he said in the report.
Political grandstanding speeches by each side in the questioning.
Waste of time. Nobody will change their mind.
I'm going to sit down at the piano and play Chopin.
Mewler is scared. He is a major player in all of the High Crimes of Bushes, Clintons and Nobamas.
I think I saw John Podesta’s sailboat the other day, it’s name was painted on the prow: “bo@t."

"Nobody is above the law"
DRINK!
Are you aware of that?
Outside my purview.
A Republican wasting more time.
Wow--I've met Mueller a few times. We were in the same eating club at Princeton, although he was 10+? years ahead of me. I'm shocked how leaden and cognitively impaired he seems. Not at all like the brief conversations I had with him around 5-7 years ago. To me, it's clear he was a figurehead running the SC investigation, and that the rabid Clintonistas hired as lawyers/investigators were really running the show. We all get old, but few bearing these burdens are given the role of holding a nation hostage to an investigation actually lead by others.
“Mueller just said his deputy, who was the personal attorney for the Hillary Clinton aide who smashed her Blackberries, was in charge of "day-to-day oversight" of Mueller's investigation. What exactly was Mueller doing?”
Imagine, if you will, that the partisan shoe were on the other foot! "Shut up!" They explained.
The balls on the Democrats. They firmly believe that our democracy is already dead and that they have complete control of the press.
Outside my purview, my ass.
"Nobody is above the law”
Damn right!
Why haven't we seen the 'scope memos' from Rod Rosenstein so we know for a fact what was in and what was out of Mueller's purview?
Certainly - the real report- that shows Trump colluded with the Russians - has yet to be revealed.
Rachel needs her audience back!
What law was broken again?
Oh, shit. Guam's about to tip over.
Finally, a Republican, Goemert, is asking good questions -- an hour after the this hearing began.
Except Hillary. Hillary is above the law.
AAT: You said it. The Democrats have balls. Republican play the wussy card. Clean distinction
BTW, I'm not watching the shit show. Dementia inducting
No he has covered up murders, provoked at least one suicide, and tried to destroy one individual and his family, a little discomfort is warranted
Howard - you're confusing balls with kindergarten mob behavior.
“Oh, shit. Guam's about to tip over.”
And the reason for that ... a black hole veered by too closely.
FusionGPS?
Never heard of it!!!
Hillary Clinton lawyer actually running the day to day "investigation"!!!
LOLOOLOLOL
Mewler is acting like he is an absent minded old man. That is supposed to make us think he is unable to strategize and be tricky. It's all fake. He is sharp as a tack and a trained character actor.
He should confess: "Trump broke me." And then leave.
Goemert is yelling at Mueller instead of asking questions.
“There was a last minute surprise from Mueller, a request to have a wet nurse present and sitting next to him during the hearings. The wet nurse is one Aaron Zebley, who you might remember was the attorney for the Hillary Clinton IT guy who set up the illegal basement server and smashed up Hillary’s Blackberry phones. Why was this guy on Mueller’s team since it seems like he has some very real conflicts of interest? Nevermind.”
no no no - Mueller is Jimmy Stewart. WaPO says so.
A friend noted on Facebook their excitement to watch the hearing. I couldn't think of a greater waste of time. It would better to go sit on the porch, drink some tea, and watch the day go by. The hearing is a show to get you excited about politicians that have done nothing. Democrats have failed to take down Trump. Republicans failed to reign in a egregious waste of taxpayers dollars. There is nobody to applaud.
It’s a huge tell how aggressively the Republicans are questioning Mueller, as if they see him as being some threat to Trump. If there were truly no Obstruction they wouldn’t be so ridiculously antagonistic. There was clearly no conflict of interest with Mueller as Trump said many times, there were clearly multiple instances of Trump ordering others to stop or interfere with the investigation. This is not good for Republicans or Trump, no matter how desperately you people try to spin this.
Gohmert began well, but then began interrupting Mueller and finally wasted his time yelling at Mueller.
Well, the bright side for the Dems is that this blows up the rumor that they colluded with Mueller prior to this shit show. I can't imagine they would have wanted to go through with this with Mueller in his current state.
It seems odd to me, that such an old man would be up for the whole intense and stressful politics of the investigation.
Presumably he has long had a comfortable retirement available to him.
He could have been happy in his pasture all this time.
I would think it would have been best all around to leave Muellers job to the lean and hungry.
Anyone who expects anything substantial from this event is delusional.
Hes a rainmaker for Amazon and apple he took money from a corrupt Mexican bank, (their fine was a 100 million, imagine how much they got away with)
Gleeful MSM+D Party
"Did you actually totally exonerate the president?" Robert Mueller was asked this morning.
"No," he answered.
Reality:
'It wasn’t Mueller’s job to exonerate the President. It wasn’t Mueller’s job to prove a negative. It was Mueller’s job to investigate and make a recommendation.'
This is so bad, the radio station I was listening to gave up on their broadcast after 20 minutes.
It is not that the Democrats are in charge of the press, but that the press is in charge of the Democrats!
This blog post is a good example to aging boomers that perhaps their retired lives will not be so fulfilling as imagined...
Get a life already.
Learn to read and leave Mueller alone!
Except the Democrats fully knew of Muellers failing mental acuity and offered him the big paycheck anyway, they needed his Name, not talent. Weiseman? was the hatchet man, but he needed Mueller to hide behind
Democrats are despicable people.
Name the Obstruction Inga. Name it.
Wanting to fire Muller but not actually firing him - is that what you call "Obstruction"?
This is the man we were assured would send the president to prison. I feel sorry for him, until I remember his part in this duplicity.
I can't get into internal deliberations.
Why not?
"Anyone who expects anything substantial from this event is delusional."
The Dems aren't after anything substantive. They want to impeach Trump, and are trying to plead their case to 30-40 swing Democrat Congressmen, who aren't in the room.
He used a sidney greenstreet character in geirge Nader to make his case, that's almost as bad as the chief witness against Ted Stevens
The corrupt Mueller investigation should have been halted. It is corrupt in and of itself.
Can we now conclude that the Witch Hunt is over?
How stupid are the Dems to think the Mueller testimony would save them.
Don't worry Inga- your corrupt mob party will go after Trump later. This isn't OVER!
Revenge for Hillary never dies!
“Name the Obstruction Inga. Name it.”
Are you stupid or what? They are focusing on FIVE Obstruction episodes, have you not been listening? They’ve been asking him multiple questions about this, he’s been answering.
You are pitiful.
To me, it's clear he was a figurehead running the SC investigation, and that the rabid Clintonistas hired as lawyers/investigators were really running the show.
@Gilbert Pinfold (8:33), be nice if he’d just say that and go home.
I know Mueller's testimony will help Trump. How do I know this? Because everything the corrupt Deep State has tried blows up in their face to Trump’s benefit.
It is like watching a Road Runner cartoon - the Deep State is Wiley E. Coyote, Super-Genius and Trump is the Road Runner. Meep! Meep!
Ocasio Cortez is somewhere in the round Robin right?
What Mueller knows is now on display for all to see.
Good questions about Mifsud.
However ...
I can't get into that.
Well this is sad. The dems have pivoted from questioning to explaining.
"I would think it would have been best all around to leave Muellers job to the lean and hungry."
Aren't we finding out that that was indeed the case, and that Mueller was in fact a figurehead for the Clintonistas nominally reporting to him?
I don't understand the point of this. Why are the Democrats trying to build a public case for an impeachment that's very unpopular and that most of their own party doesn't want to conduct, and that wouldn't materially affect the President in any case given that there is zero chance of a senate removal? It seems like all this will do is heighten the anger of the pro-impeachment activists at the expense of the center of the party. I guess maybe that is the goal, perhaps to strengthen one of the primary candidates? But if so it seems incredibly self-destructive, as there's no real path to a political victory here. Typically lose-lose scenarios are the ones you want to walk away from and forget.
“Mr. Mueller, you were not invited here to give us testimony and information that does not conform to our pre-formed beliefs. Now, once more. How many times did Donald Trump take a dog by the hind legs and force that dog to act like a wheelbarrow? And I remind you, you’re under oath.”
"And as a follow-on question, I'd like to know the names of all the witnesses who stated that they personally saw Mr. Trump mix, when doing the family's laundry, solid colored clothing with the whites. The names, Mr. Mueller, the names!"
And my congressman, John Ratcliffe, did well.
Finally good questions. Who is Misfud? Why was he not charged with lying to the FBI? "Can't get into that, can't get into that, can't get into that..."
Yes he hired thr posse:

"If there were truly no Obstruction they wouldn’t be so ridiculously antagonistic. “
If you weren’t feeling so desperate, you wouldn’t be making such ridiculous arguments.
I think that this shows what was going on all along. There was a lot of evidence from early on that the FBI members of McCabe’s inner circle put this investigation together, and then they picked Mueller as a front man. He was perfect for it, because he had a great reputation, but was too weak mentally to stand up to his team of hyper partisan Dem activist attorneys, led by the execrable Andrew Weissman. Why Weissman? From destroying Arthur Anderson, he had a reputation of scorched earth prosecutor. They didn’t want justice - they wanted to drag it out as long as they could, while doing the most damage they could to Trump. Weissman was perfect for that. And he had been working with McCabe’s team since the summer of 2016 when AAG Bruce Ohr brought Weissman, Christopher Steele, and Glenn Simpson to them.
We are finding out who the real dotard is.
“Name the Obstruction Inga. Name it.”
Are you stupid or what? They are focusing on FIVE Obstruction episodes, have you not been listening? They’ve been asking him multiple questions about this, he’s been answering.

Then it should be easy for you to name it, Inga.
Oh. I forgot. You don't have the capacity to think. You are waiting to cut and paste. Talk about pitiful!
They sent Edwin Wilson up for 20 years, for things the company had expressly authorized him to do.
Anybody else think that Mueller looks like that famous Roman bust of Constantine the Great?

"Why are you badgering this pathetic old fool?"
Big sale on Mueller souvenirs later today. Get your prayer candles at bargain basement prices!
The questions about Mifsud were too long.
The Republican should have asked a few short questions about Mifsud and then asked Robert "The FBI Whitewasher" Mueller to explain why I can't get into that.
Interesting. Lots of spot-on comments here. Just commenting to save my place and read the remainder in my email account. Carry on!
THEOLDMAN
Comey sent Martha Stewart to jail partly for saying she was innocent, all without ever proving she was guilty!

“Get your prayer candles at bargain basement prices!”
They are melting them down for ear plugs.
it's clear he was a figurehead running the SC investigation, and that the rabid Clintonistas hired as lawyers/investigators were really running the show.
That's been apparent for months. Weissmann ran the show and acted the way he acted in the Enron case against Arthur Anderson. He got slapped down by the USSC 9-0 in that one. But Arthur Anderson was still dead and their 5,000 employees still out of work. My wife's niece was one of them and it ruined her life.
I have yet to see a Congressional hearing that was not dominated by egos.
Can everyone please not comment for a few hours? I have to do something and don't want to have a YUGE backlog to go through.
Please?

The Abby Normal evasion: Are you stupid or what? They are focusing on FIVE Obstruction episodes, have you not been listening?
If there are FIVE, surely someone as astute as Abbey Normal could name just ONE for the benefit of people with actual work to do, who have no time for the Muellerday burlesque show.

Bruce Hayden wins the thread.

I think it is Conquest's third rule. Yup.
1. Everyone is conservative about what he knows best.
2. Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left wing.
3. The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies .
— Robert Conquest.
Number three it is.

Please don't beat up on us just because we are boomers.
Mueller can't remember where the hearing room is.
Is Mueller falling on his sword?? Feigning incompetence to avoid perjury.
Inga- Name the 5.

There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.--Oscar Wilde

Oh Dear Lord. I just listened for 2 minutes.
Mueller looks distinctly unhealthy.
What a joke. Hang your heads in shame Democrats. You failed, and lied for too long. 2020 is going to be a landslide win.
Checking lib headlines (MSM), they go something like this:
Bombshell! Mueller says report does not exonerate Trump!

Pelosi has been managing the Democrats in the House rather than leading them.
Now she has lost her management control.

I wonder how much of it is guilt or shame.

That would work against professional politicians. Donald Trump would quite reasonably ask how this man was the "head" of a two-year, multi-million dollar investigation, and ridicule the concept incessantly. Then grab Mueller anyways.
Evergreen question for the liberal trolls hoping for Muellermas: are you happy? Do you feel safe, knowing this senile old man is standing between you and the darkness?
the walls are closing in! Bombshell! Fresh charges of OBSTRUCTION. NO EXONERATION FROM jimmy Stewart.
Here's Mueller admitting his investigation was "not AT ANY TIME curtailed, stopped, or hindered."
Here are the 10 times, according to the Mueller report, that Mr. Trump may have obstructed justice. Spelled out for the stupid lazy deluded people here.
1."Conduct involving FBI Director Comey and Michael Flynn"
2."The President's reaction to the continuing Russia investigation"*
3."The President's termination of Comey"
4."The appointment of Special Counsel and efforts to remove him"*
5."Efforts to curtail the Special Counsel's investigation"*
6."Efforts to prevent public disclosure of evidence"*
7."Further efforts to have the Attorney General take control of the investigation"
8."Efforts to have McGahn deny that the President had ordered him to have the Special Counsel removed"*
9."Conduct towards Flynn, Manafort, [Redacted]"
10."Conduct involving Michael Cohen"
*The FIVE cases of Obstruction discussed in this hearing.
LOL Inga- Really. Where is the crime?
1."Conduct involving FBI Director Comey and Michael Flynn"
2."The President's reaction to the continuing Russia investigation"*
3."The President's termination of Comey"
4."The appointment of Special Counsel and efforts to remove him"*

8."Efforts to have McGahn deny that the President had ordered him to have the Special Counsel removed"*
9."Conduct towards Flynn, Manafort, [Redacted]"
10."Conduct involving Michael Cohen"
Where is the crime here?
Efforts! Efforts were made to curtail the corrupt witch hunt.
Was that Zebley who wanted to answer for Mueller when he became aware that Trump had not colluded with Russia?
“Where is the crime?l
Obstruction of Justice IS a crime you blithering idiot.
Inga- Did Trump collude with the Russians?
WE were told by the corrupt D hack press and liars like Adam Schit and Michael Avenetti that the walls were closing in. That it was all but certain.
Here's the video of Mueller agreeing that the investigation was never curtailed or hindered:
https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/07/mueller-investigation-was-not-at-any-time-curtailed-stopped-or-hindered/
Fine discussion he had there! Don't worry, Inga, you don't have to go berserk. Just wait for your betters to tell you what to think.
Inga - are you that dumb? Your list in not a crime.
What is the underlying offense, this is Tito's people court!
Inga- you are the fucking moron here. You are the desperate loser clinging to any desperate Maddow/Mother Jones left-wing bullshit that you can cling to.
YOU are pathetic.
Sympathy for Mueller (aside from his past actions) he has faded to an object of pity. Disdain for both sides of the Congress critters.
Classic Inga:
"After reading this thread, I think you nutbags are are going to lose whatever marbles you still have left when the Mueller report is made public. I think whoever ends up in the role of President before 2020 might need to declare martial law, until you Cultists get yourselves deprogrammed. Have hope, there might still be a normal life after Trump for you poor souls.
Someone needs deprogramming, alright.
Here's a question for Mueller:
In the report of your investigation you state that there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and any foreign power, Russia, and that you chose not to charge the President with collusion. Are there any other conclusions or details you would like to add?
If the Media barrage of propaganda can get the public to see Trump as a Criminal for not accepting the Media's false charges in their Treasonous Coup D'etat, then our Republic is a gonner. I hope Hillary's Gulag goes easy on us.
Recall when Inga was certain the Carter P{Paige was a big part of the Russian Collusion.
LOLOLOLOL.
and the oligarchs.
oh those oligarchs on yachts - talking about Trump. The supreme leader Mueller had spies and listening devices on those yachts and the oligarchs were discussing Trump. Inga saw it live on Maddow.
Inga,
Time to commit suicide - it's OVAH
Mueller unequivocally stated today that Trump could be indicted for Obstruction of Justice after he no longer is President.
There it is, right there.
Cultism truly has made you people stupid.
1."Conduct involving FBI Director Comey
You mean the guy who lied to the president that he wasn’t under investigation when he was?
The president tried to obstruct the soft coup.
Lolololololol
Inga,
Time to commit suicide - it's OVAH
Then Trump needs to get those who were involved in the soft coup first, including the FISA judges who relied on a fake dossier supplied by Hillary’s contacts.
Rachel Maddow hardest hit by Mueller's pitiful performance.
Inga,
You missed the part when asked about whether Trump hindered the investigation, Mule said "no." What is it about no you braindead cultists don't get?
If Trump is guilty of obstructing justice 5... no make that 10 times- why isn't he in a concentration camp - waiting for his death sentence?
Dear Inga, get some new material. Some of us aren't cultists: on the contrary, we think Donald Trump is a bit too soft-hearted to take on the corrupt ghouls and pedophiles that infest the Democrats. Being removed from office by this senile old sack of garbage, or the rabid shyster that really runs the show, would benefit us immensely. Tens of millions of enraged white Americans with guns can do immense damage- and if Mueller is the best you have to defend you, you're in real trouble.
But what should concern you is the near term. Trump will have six years in office, no matter which no-hoper you put your trust in, during which time a lot of your Hollywood and Washington buddies will crash in flames for their patronage of Jeffrey Epstein. I rather look forward to it.
Actually - Inga - Mueller didn't say that at all. The media and the Dems did.
Right Inga- Trump is in big trouble for obstructing justice and right after he is out of office the corrupt leftwing mob is going to trample him.
We know. we know.
Inga is the real cultist. She is a left-wing Maddow cultist to the bitter end.
THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN!
There was a last minute surprise from Mueller, a request to have a wet nurse present and sitting next to him during the hearings. The wet nurse is one Aaron Zebley, who you might remember was the attorney for the Hillary Clinton IT guy who set up the illegal basement server and smashed up Hillary’s Blackberry phones. Why was this guy on Mueller’s team since it seems like he has some very real conflicts of interest? Nevermind.”
Talk about cultist Inga. Assimilate that.
Apparently, nobody cares about the alleged Russian meddling in the election.
I suppose Ann let's Inga post here for her comic value or because Ann is being kind to the mentally challenged
> whether Trump hindered the investigation
He certainly did. That weaselly fellow was innocent. That right there is obstruction of justice in the first degree.
"Mueller unequivocally stated today that Trump could be indicted for Obstruction of Justice after he no longer is President."
That's not the same as concluding that there's probable cause for the indictment, which, as prosecutor, was kind of his job to decide.
Inga could be indicted for obstruction after Trump is no longer president. It's possible. If I had confidence that she didn't obstruct justice, or murder school children, I'd say so.
The rats are trying to overturn the results of the election, Inga.
We lived thru this already.
You know we can’t have that.
Lololololol

Muller has stated multiple times this morning that his investigation was unhindered. How could someone possibly be charged with obstruction when nothing was obstructed? Even a bigger joke when you consider there was no underlying crime.
I caught a glimpse of the hearing on TV as I stopped by my parents' house to fix a prescription snafu on my way to the office. The Democrats were doing the "President is not exonerated" thing at the time. As an attorney, this made me want to vomit since the job of a prosecutor is not to exonerate people. The job of a prosecutor is to establish probable cause and then to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the person is guilty. The whole idea that a person has to be exonerated before the person is even accused of a crime and that it's the prosecutor's job to do it makes me sick and I'm not even a criminal defense attorney.

Russian meddling is memory-holed. The new and infused bullshit meme from the corrupt freaky-D's in congress and their Corrupt press is the never ending old news that Trump obstructed Justice.
The evil corrupt left get to re-write laws and reality as we go. Isn't that nifty?
This week's bombshell — that the DNC and the Hillary Clinton campaign financed former British spy Christopher Steele's salacious dossier allegedly connecting Donald Trump and Russia — may suggest something even more devious. The dossier was compiled by the notorious firm Fusion GPS, which also worked for Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, the very woman who met with Donald Trump Jr. in a meeting deemed pivotal to the case for Trump-Russia "collusion."
The Fusion GPS connection raises a supremely interesting question: Did the Clinton campaign actually orchestrate the meeting between Trump campaign officials and Veselnitskaya? Is the entire Trump-Russia collusion narrative the result of a Clinton set-up?
Questions that will not be asked by hacks in the hack press.
"The Fusion GPS connection raises a supremely interesting question: Did the Clinton campaign actually orchestrate the meeting between Trump campaign officials and Veselnitskaya? Is the entire Trump-Russia collusion narrative the result of a Clinton set-up?"
How can this be "not in his purview"? What a steaming pile of crap.
Late to the party.
Nice to see the unrehearsed questions and answers. Every congressman a genius, for certain.
Anyway, I think Bay Area Guy should spot Chuck five points for maintaining his docile behavior in the face of all the red meat provided by the slack jawed,mouth breathing razor sharp, total recall Robert Mueller.
Are they selling Mueller bobble heads outside?
I gather from the exchange with Steube that Mueller DID interview Steele. Is that common knowledge?
I think Mueller and Wiener should move into together. It'd make a great reality tv show.
Cultism truly has made you people stupid.
I am going to take a wild guess that genetics made you stupid, Inga.

Why haven't we seen the 'scope memos' from Rod Rosenstein so we know for a fact what was in and what was out of Mueller's purview?
Knew that was coming. I saw the first Rosenstein scope memo, and with the singular focus on Trump you knew the Deep State fix was in, although they could claim that investigation of the Trump campaign was all Sessions recused himself from.
But that's why I think you could box-in Mueller with the question I asked above, because to reach the conclusion that Russia sought to advantage Trump over Clinton you'd first have to look at the activities of both campaigns vis-a-vis Russia.

My question: How did Mueller conclude the Russian's tried to advantage Trump if he didn't look into the conduct of the Clinton campaign? Although Mueller can claim his mandate granted no such purview, his conclusion that Russia sought to advantage one candidate over the other would necessarily require looking into any activities with respect to both campaigns.

So when did Robert Mueller turn into Christine Blasey Ford? Waiting for him say he wrote his report at the urging of "beach friends."
DRINK!
The Pretend Righteous Mueller has in effect taken the Fifth Amendment on every question that was asked by Trump's guys. He said it's not in his purview to answer those questions.
from Stephen Green's drunk blog:
And Mollie Hemingway: "In fact, he comes across as completely out of it, a figurehead to protect those who were actually running the probe. That so many Clinton allies were running the probe without real oversight from Mueller (or any skepticism from the media) is suddenly difficult to ignore."
Notes:
Armstrong: Did you know Andrew Weissmann praised Sally Yates for directly disobeying a presidential order?
Mueller: Not going to talk about it.
Armstrong: Did you know Jeanie Rhee worked for the Clinton Foundation?
Mueller: Not going to talk about it.
Rudy:
This is great material for a course on trial advocacy. Dems on direct are being allowed to lead and Lap Dog says yes. Repubs on cross impeach him, befuddle him and generally demonstrate he had no interest in pursuing truth...”not in my purview.”
Mueller's hearing affliction can be described as the inability to hear any question posed by a Republican.
Comments at Stephen Green:
"
How can it possibly be that admitting to interviewing Steel would compromise any other investigations?
It can't.
Cliff notes version: Mueller doesn't want to discuss Steele. At all. In ANY capacity.
Even Mueller's diminished capacity. "
A: "His capacity isn't so diminished that he doesn't know what he doesn't want to say."
Poor Inga.
The only one here who can't see into Inga's head is Inga. We watch her clinging to every faint hope, ill-conceived conjecture, and twisted fact/lies/half-lies to support her collapsing worldview. it is sad, yet satisfying to seen that evil, bigoted person descend ever deeper into lunacy.
How many times have we seen her write in effect "hahahahahahahaha. This (twisted fact/lies/half-lie) proves you are Trump cultists." only to have her 'supporting evidence' either quickly disappear down a rat hole or prove to have been a complete misunderstanding of the information on her part?
Drago would answer "Only every time". And he'd be right.
That Inga has so little self-respect is quite apparent: She never apologizes for her bullshit. Never admits to being wrong. Someone not rabidly partisan and who is truly looking to solve real problems would be embarrassed if they were publicly showing themselves to be as perniciously dumb and vile as she is on a daily basis. Intelligent people who value their intellects would wonder why they are so often wrong and would challenge their own assumptions.
Not her.
The conclusions to be drawn from that are obvious. But she won't see them.
We can blame her alcoholism (also known as Wisconsin Flu) for her problems and feel sorry for her, but that ship has sailed.
All I feel for her is disgust. I feel the same way about cockroaches.
Nadler will probably have to issue a silver alert to get Mueller to return after lunch.
'Disoriented' Mueller's stumbling responses to questions during blockbuster hearing leave social media concerned the special counsel seems a 'confused old man' but some think it is all a strategy to frustrate the committee members

Mueller's performance is consistent with Mild Cognitive Impairment, a precursor to Alzheimer's.

I have watched the entire hearing so far- this is exactly what I thought would happen- he is sticking to the report like glue on any question related to the report, and he is refusing to answer any question outside the bounds of the report. Additionally, I also predicted, based on the press conference from May, that he would be appear to be in the first stages of dementia- he is actually doing far, far worse today than he did then, and you now see why he took no questions in May- he simply can't function at a level in which he can actually answer them coherently.
The biggest takeaway from today is going to be this- he was never in charge of this investigation- he was a figurehead. The person who needs to be called for a public hearing is the man in charge- that person was Andrew Weissmann. Of course, the Democrats can't call Weissmann for a public hearing because the first question that will asked by the opposition is, "Since you were a public supporter of Hillary Clinton, why didn't you recuse yourself from the investigation?" This is a question he can't answer without lying.
Also, cognitively impaired or not, he doesn't appear to have written any part of his own report, nor, do I think, even read it himself.
