Senator Mike Lee compares Mueller report's obstruction findings to 'Pinocchio' in 'Shrek 3'

GOP Sen. Mike Lee (Utah) on Sunday compared special counsel Robert Mueller's findings on obstruction of justice to Pinocchio's character from the movie, "Shrek the Third."

“The special counsel certainly was thorough," Lee said on CBS's "Face The Nation," before arguing that some pieces of the report are "a little bit odd."

"For example, when he talks about obstruction. I think it’s odd to say, 'I’m not going to make a recommendation, but I’m going to sound like I’m making a recommendation. There’s not evidence that I can point to but nonetheless I couldn’t get there even if I did.'

"It's kind of strange to spend two years on that and then speak with the sort of tone that is reminiscent of Pinocchio in the movie 'Shrek 3,'" Lee said. "It's full of double negatives. It's kind of confusing."

Hopefully the House will spell it out for him in a Trump impeachment investigation soon.

He had days to consider an intelligent response, but.....

Republicans will vote anyone in with a R. No critical thought.

were saying Mueller was a man of integrity? So now they begin to shift in the direction of calling him a liar.

Mike makes good sense whenever you don't pay attention to anything he says
