Democrats Turn Against Mueller After Two Hearings on Wednesday
“Far from breathing life into his damning report, the tired Robert Mueller sucked the life out of it.”
Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee and House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday on his report over Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Mueller came across as dull with body language that showed he wanted to be somewhere else other than in front of Congress. He also told the representatives over 100 times to refer to his report or could not answer a question.
Mueller did not give the left what they wanted, which has turned them against him.
Then again, Mueller’s appearance in front of Congress should not shock anyone. He made it known at his press conference in May that any testimony he would provide to Congress would not go beyond his report.
Yet so many people hoped Mueller would provide the ammunition they need to kick out Trump.
Much as I hate to say it, this morning’s hearing was a disaster. Far from breathing life into his damning report, the tired Robert Mueller sucked the life out of it. The effort to save democracy and the rule of law from this lawless president has been set back, not advanced.

A frail old man, unable to remember things, stumbling, refusing to answer basic questions…I said it in 2017 and Mueller confirmed it today — All you pundits and moderates and lame Dems who told the public to put their faith in the esteemed Robert Mueller — just STFU from now on

Donald Trump’s lawyer was… RUDY GIULIANI! Mueller was outmaneuvered by RUDY GIULIANI?! Bill Clinton had to testify before a grand jury, under oath, on camera, for hours, and tell every nasty detail about his sex life. Yet Trump – the biggest criminal to ever step foot in the…

Yesterday's testimony was evidence of analysis paralysis. We waited 2 years for the Mueller Report and 3 months for Mr. Mueller to testify. There was no 'aha' moment because we've had the report and watched or discussed the President's impeachable actions ad nauseum. #ImpeachNow

This is very, very painful.

Not a commentary on the content. The report is damning. That was reenforced today. He has been an exemplary public servant, as people are both sides attested, but he clearly was struggling today and that was painful.

I can't watch this anymore. Go home, guys. You made O J try on the glove, and it just didn't work. You can still win the election, but I wouldn't bet my own money on it.

The New York Times posted a podcast this morning with the subtitle, “Lawmakers came prepared for a political showdown. For the most part, the former counsel resisted.” Four authors penned a piece in the Times lamenting Mueller’s performance:
He struggled at one point to come up with the word “conspiracy.”
At one excruciatingly awkward moment, he stumbled over a poorly worded question about who was president when he served as a top federal prosecutor in 1986, apparently assuming the questioner meant his subsequent Justice Department post.
“He didn’t have the fight in him that he used to have,” said Glenn Kirschner, who worked with Mr. Mueller as a homicide prosecutor in the mid-1990s.
Dan Balz in The Washington Post told Democrats they can only stop Trump by winning the 2020 election:
Mueller gave the Democrats some things they wanted. In testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, he rebutted Trump’s claim that he was totally exonerated by the report. Not true, Mueller said. Nor, he told the House Intelligence Committee, was his investigation a hoax or a witch hunt, as the president has claimed. And he seemed to suggest that Trump was not charged with obstruction because Justice Department regulations say that a sitting president cannot be indicted and that a president can be charged after leaving office.
But there was some ambiguity surrounding statements about whether Trump would have been indicted absent those regulations. Before the intelligence committee, Mueller corrected his previous comment, noting that the report did not definitively answer the question of whether Trump had committed a crime.
Oh well, Democrats. Mueller is just a man, not a god.

Herr Weissman is the key investigator of the Mueller Gang. The Dems may have had air sucked out of the show trial now but avoided having the real power behind the curtain interrogated.
Or more importantly, identified. Weissmann has a slimy reputation and is known to play fast and loose with the law and with facts. The GOP would have had a field day with Weissmann on the stand.
Dem if you do,
and Dem if you don’t…..
The Democrats locked off the committee room the night before to rehearse. I guess I can assume that it wasn’t like the final product.
Perhaps none of them was the smartest person in the room.
Apparently they just rehearsed their own questions and didn’t even attempt to brain storm on what the repubs might ask.
“…the left…has turned … against him.”
Sociopaths use people until their utility is zero. Then they discard them with quiet or with noise. Wasn’t Ford the center of a rape crises or something until one minute after the Kavanaugh vote when she (and the related crises) vanished from the Dem radar?
From Mueller’s perspective, get in bed with snakes and get bit. No sympathy from here.
The handlers of the left are sociopaths. Their useful idiots are malignant narcissists or garden variety narcissists.
Exactly right. While watching, I was reminded of the Brett Kavenaugh Conformation Hearings with phony Chirstine Blasey-Ford who couldn’t remember anything and the Anita Hill “Hit Job” while Joe Biden was the Judiciary Committee’s Chairman during the Clarence Thomas Confirmation.
These lousy human beings lacking in any decency will say anything and do anything to attain and have power.
Rober Mueller who has been described to be the epitome of honesty, integrity, and ability that would have Mother Teresa blush with envy, has a Dirty Cop History from his days in Boston when Crime Boss, Whitey Bulger reigned and was reportedly about to start talking about his dealings with Boston FBI Figures and probably Bob Mueller; and had just been transferred to another prison for his “safety”, but murdered the first day of arrival at age 89 while confined to a wheelchair by having his eyes gouged out and bludgeoned to death. http://fbi-federalbureauofinvestigation.com/robert-mueller-connected-to-boston-mobster-whitey-bulger-that-was-killed-in-prison-as-he-was-about-to-out-fbi-officials Dead Men Tell No Tales, right Mr. Mueller?
This whole Phony Russian Collusion Coup with its rogue Federal Officials, political intrigue both foreign and domestic, makes fictional stories found in movies like “Enemy of the State”, “Clear and Present Danger”, and “The Pelican Brief” seem reality.
Mr. Mueller was obviously a “Tool” and a Rubber Stamp for a Ghost Writer of “his” Report and likely out of the office while his seditious Demtard Cronies were pissing away Taxpyer Money, ruining lives, and hoping that President Trump would resign in disgrace FOR HAVING DONE NOTHING EXCEPT DEFEATING HILLARY “CORRUPT TO THE CORE” CLINTON.
THIS COUNTRY ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE INDICTMENTS, PROSECUTIONS, AND PUNISHMENTS FOR THOSE INVOLVED WITH THIS SEDITIOUS ACT THAT MAKES WATERGATE LOOK LIKE A PARKING VIOLATION.
Outside of the obvious entrapment issues, anyone else kind of wishing Trump would have agreed to an interview only on the condition of Mueller conducting it on his own…. from the looks of things, Mueller would have gone down in flames.
Note also, this is the person that numerous Congressman wanted to create a law protecting him from firing.
Who said there was a smart person (at least among the Democrats in either one of the Committee rooms yesterday?
The day was tough on Mueller’s reputation (which was grossly inflated in any case) but the real damage to the Dims was done by the egos of Nadler and Schiff. They called for this fiasco, and got what they deserved.
It’s not about ‘smart.’ It’s about ‘corrupt.’
I love that Trump retweeted Michael Moore an in effect told the TDS suffering masses to “…just STFU from now on.”
The next great democratic party shock? That subtle formaldehyde odor everyone smells wafting its way through congressional hallways?
Dianne Feinstein’s brain-pan is leaking think juice ;/
It is not unusual for Democrat mayors or Governors to end up in prison after they leave office. Sort of a retirement plan. After they are of no use to the Party. Those who offend the Party more deeply Jackson Jr., Blagojevich, Weiner are sent to prison sooner.
Is freedom still alive in this Nation?
“Is freedom still alive in this Nation?”
Yes. It’s name is Donald Trump.
Speaking of smells, there is a product of bacon scented gun oil called Liberal Tears. My order was sent in, product review to follow.

Saint Mueller is no longer useful to the left. He will be given a pill made comfortable and let go. The LEft wing MO since the 2008 election
Axelrod
“The report was damning”
LMAO
Muller not bad at playing Lt. Drebin but sure no Leslie Nielsen. Tks
Leslie Nielson was a good analogy. I can see him looking up Andrew Weisman’s pant leg and saying, “Nice Beaver.”
Seemed to be more akin to a Sergeant Schulz impersonation…
It’s obvious that Mueller was simply the figurehead giving the requisite gravitas to an investigation of a sitting President. The larger question is why Mueller didn’t defer to the real draftsman of the report, Andrew Weissman.
Laurence Tribe is one of the most famous names from the faculty at HLS yet he acts like a spoiled child on Twitter…
“… effort to save Democracy…”
WTF is he talking about?
I’d like to know what part of the Mueller Report he found “damning” and for whom.
A pinpoint cite.
The left NEVER says REPUBLIC. It’s always DEMOCRACY. Because if we were a democracy they could become like their idol and put da da behind their title of Dictator for Life.
“The report was damning.”
Perhaps because so many Liberals were damning it since it didn’t give them sufficient cause to impeach President Trump.
Well, well, well. Mueller was in charge of nothing and therefore the brownshirts on his staff were allowed to run free, not that after what Mueller allowed to be done to Steven Hatfill that I think he would have reined them in. But still, the way the politicians in the swamp (and the media) positively GUSHED over the man’s reputation left no room for criticism. But after yesterday’s awful spectacle why would anyone in the country listen to these obviously clueless bozos again?
Democrats wanted a sacrificial warlock, or witch, but in their absence, they will settle for a sacrificial hunter… prosecutorial remediation rites (Planned Prosecutor).
I think Mueller was setting up the senile old man defense in case the DOJ investigation gets ‘dicey.’
Putting Mueller on display like this was, apparently, extraordinarily stupid. So why did they do it? Sure, none of the Drats would be numbered in with the 21st century’s finest minds, but this was preternaturally dumb. Liz Warren’s DNA test—level dumb.
And all that rubbish about charging DJT after he’s out of office is pointless. Sure, they can do it—anybody can be charged with any crime when he doesn’t occupy one of the few offices which puts him temporarily above the law. But why bother? The whole point of the D’rats notion of impeachment is to get him out of office. Once he’s already out, it’s too late to do them any good. And the precedent would just leave future D’rats vulnerable to the same sort of lifetime harassment.
Sure, TDS is a wonderful thing, but even so, these people are overdoing it.
No. They have to destroy Trump after his presidency as an example for the next person who would be like Trump.
Well, the Demtards likely figured that they had to have this display of their stupidity because Mueller had been on the hook to perform, i.e., “Show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime” and failed to deliver. But unlike Stalin’s Soviet Union, we have this thing called the Constitution ergo, it took $35+ Million, 19 Dimwit Lawyers, 40+ FBI Agents, and over two years of relentless Fake News WHILE ALWAYS HOPING THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WOULD JUST SUCCUMB TO THE FORCES OF EVIL AN RESIGN IN DISGRACE. They failed spectacularly because Donald Trump stood up to them……….all of them and of both Political Parties.
That would have proved their point that only people of the incestuous Professional Political Class are elibilbe to be President. A teachable “See We Told You So” Lesson to the American Peogle who made the decision after watching the Esblishment Republicrats and Demtards do what they know how to do best: NOTHING GOOD FOR COUNTRY AND ONLY THE BEST FOR THE BIG DONORS WHO OWN THEM.
BUT, Mueller failed and to save face; preserve any chance to attend Demtard Cocktail Parties while concealing his past crimes; and save the Demtard’s fantasy that they nominated a person so corrupt, mendacious, and duplicitous that even the Common American knew what to do at the ballot box, THEY JUST NEEDED TO DO IT.
I trust that the Demtard’s insanity to attempt going after Donald Trump once he is out of office absolutely will go forward in the “Blood Sport” of their kind of political comeuppance. It’s obvious that we need to visit the laws dealing with defamation of public figures and prosecutorial misconduct to make it more than a little painful for these to continue at the level they have these past 3 years AND IN THE FUTURE.
This all goes back to hillary clinton. And, obama.
Barr has lit the fuse…
This goes back to 2016 Election. The Dems/Progs cannot believe the smartest person in the world lost a rigged election to someone who has never held elected office.
I’m so looking forward to the November 2020 election to see these inconsolable, wasteful and corrupt Useful Idiots who have promoted this Phony Russian Collusion Coup and conspired to disenfranchise 63+ Million Voters get their “Tickets Punched” and ousted from their Congressional Gravy Train.
We elected for a welcome change an Outsider for President instead of one of the Professional Politicians of the incestuous Washington, DC Swamp Parasites, precisely because they WEREN’T GETTING IT DONE. And they attempted to prove 63+ Million Voters wrong by framing and wrongfully accusing our pick. These despicable scumbags deserve our complete contempt and disgust.
And the gnashing of teeth and rending of robes will continue among the Lunatic Left. There will be even more episodes of: “Hold my half-caff, soymilk latte and watch this” moments until Trump is re-elected.
