As Mueller enters now.

here we go again.

for the sick tweets from the orange menace

I uttered "holy fuck" under my breath and now I can't remember the exact question and response. Hope it gets attention and not buried.

Steele Dossier again

Looking forward to Swalwell and Lieu if so.

Fucking idiot

I don't know who is worse, him or Gym.

vile POS aren't they. Picking on the Mueller sickening. They have nothing.

there are only two possibilities: Steele made the accusation up, or the Russians were lying to him.

Third possibility: The info about conspiracy in the Steele Dossier was true.

What a loser

He sounds like he's about to start screeching little a little boy who had a toy taken away. He thinks he so smart, but he's just another self-righteous, republican moron.

Nothing more can sum up this waste of a zygote and oxygen thief.

... them what you told them.

when he said it's not in our perview" Trying to confuse Mueller.


Cut the repigs off. Good call.

They're trying to claim the Steele dossier is Russian disinfo + implying the Steele dossier is the reason the FBI opened an investigation into the Trump campaign - which it is not.

Also I want to slap Matt Gaetz smug Busey-mouthed face.

Keep up the Good work dems !!!

a disgusting job but always good to see it in one of these threads. Hardly ever happens. BTW, "chyron"

witch-hunt

No one is above the law

It *almost* sounded like he thought the prez would be above the law...ooc guideline

To which Jeffries replied with a cheery Thank you

Watching Florida Man later

Jeffries is great. Gaetz thinks he's on Hannity's show.

Love child?

Unlike the other fucking morons he is actually focusing on facts for his side.

the last minute of his five certainly did Trump no favors.

He was trying to make the case, consistent with the republican line, that the obstruction charge is manufactured, etc. But he really just drove home the fact that, in contrast to the conspiracy charge they declined to pursue, the office found lots of evidence for the obstruction charge.

I don't know anything about him. Is he a Trumpist or a closeted "moderate" Republican?

There was insufficient evidence to pursue corruption charges.

That wasn't the case with the obstruction charges, but the special counsel saw his hands tied by department policy.

What I just heard was they decided they didn't have enough evidence for conspiracy so they said that. They couldn’t say that for obstruction because OLC said they couldn’t indict.

Thanks for the assist, dude!

He's a weasel. Weasels write weaselly reports and give weaselly testimony. Bah.

That's not weaseling, that's honesty.

when the Democrats read the findings and Mueller says correct. So it's part of the record.

Back to Russians and election

Why do you think the president and GOP have done nothing?

He won't answer but it will get that out

the supposed "conflict" that trump keeps claiming Mueller has?

Mueller seems dazed, confused, and not a guy that is intimately familiar with the work in the report.

IMO they should be getting Mueller to speak.

Yes and no, true and false questions help nothing.

"the witness may respond" he just gavels out

They should focus more of their hearing on that specific question. If they say "No" then that is true that a President could do anything including shoot someone on 5th Ave, and they could not be held accountable until after they leave office.

Democrats are hitting the ball out of the park!

Whew! My ear drums were developing screeching fatigue.

ETA: Darnit! Was hoping Swalwell straight to Lieu meant the Republicans were done.

to his own words.

obviously wrote the report and stands by it.

The more pissed off I am that mueller placed so much power in the DOJ memo about not indicting. Doing that has held all this up.

And how can the rule be changed?

has ever been tested or decided conclusively.

and the final decision would be with the Supreme Court. And maybe we don't want this Supreme Court to answer that question. But as of now the OLC memo was the only legal authority he had, so he was pretty much stuck with it.

Piecing things together masterfully.

Good... cements obstruction of justice in a methodical way.

I like his pace of questioning, as well.

LIVE: Robert Mueller Testifies Before Congress

Link to tweet

All aboard the impeachment train.

Dems are laying it out and doing a good job.

from any wrongdoing as well. Troll farms were not affiliated with the Russian government???? By what stretch of the imagination is that true?

To protect vote?

He won't answer but it will remind everyone

Nt

"That was not in my purview"

"I cannot go into that"

trump. They've switched entirely from "the report clears the president" (which was the argument when the report came out) to the claim that Mueller isn't reliable.

I think that's a pretty surprising turn of events. The last few republican questioners have talked at length about how the report contains all kinds of bad info about trump.
