  1. It appears to me that Mueller is ignorant of what is in that report.
    WHY? Because he was only selected as “head” of it to be a FIGURE-head, to make it appear to be a “non-partisan” investigation, why Hillary-connected Democrats did the dirty work.
    Watching him stammer his was through the questioning is proof that his only task was to sign the finished product.
    Seeing is pathetic performance explains why Trump was correct NOT to appoint him to high office in this administration…Trump could see that Mueller was no longer, and IS not now, capable of doing the job.

  2. “Don’t let the left retroactively downplay the importance of today’s Mueller hearings because it went poorly for Democrats. They held mock hearings, practiced for cameras, and even set up a stand-in Jim Jordan. They went all in.
    It didn’t work. It flopped.” ~U.S. Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC)
