there are ads for it. Ratings and big $$$$ are all that matters to the MSM. This isn't a sporting event, this is our country, our lives, our future!!! This isn't fun and games in my opinion. This is super serious shit and our country is on the line...it is not about ratings and adver. $$$$$!

I don't care if they make money or not. I'm just glad it will be on the tube and hopefully a lot of people will be watching.

I just don't like the way they are promoting it. It should be advertised in a very serious way since it is a super serious and important event, not "Circus of the Sitcom Sarz".

trump campaign or trump wrongdoing is going to help us.

No one seems to care about Obstruction, because it was played out right in front of us, and nothing except folks like us. trump’s approval has gone up since Mueller’s BS press conference.

I’m afraid if that’s the only junk Mueller says, even more people will think trump did nothing wrong. But, hope I’m wrong.

9. Mueller will be appearing as a private citizen just like you and me.

He doesn't get to determine what questions the members can ask. Should be interesting.

The Mueller report says there was a lot of evidence of Trump campaign wrongdoing, but that they could not prove that they conspired with the Russian government. There was a lot of collusion cited in the report, just not called collusion. Mueller also said they weren't able to prove conspiracy because so many witnesses lied. It ain't gonna look good.

11. Yeah, Mueller's "press conference" really changed a lot of opinions.

trump’s approval is higher than ever. I just don’t think enough people care, and Mueller did a great job of toning down his narrative and finding ways to let the campaign off the hook.

We were convinced his report and comments would nail trump, so far that is not the case.
