I used to have a garden. Does that count? Nunes had a vineyard with Russian help.

(11,949 posts)Until around 8:00pm Eastern it was a horrible night for us. Then the undeniable truth set in.
Once Schiff's masterpiece of questioning is fully absorbed and replayed the tune will change. It was devastating.
I had the feeling watching the exchange Mueller was thinking finally someone is smart enough to ask these questions in a way I can answer them.

I think Buck expected the answer to be different. This was definitely an own-goal on the part of Buck.

(58,785 posts)when Mueller stated "something like" that the FBI is still investigating multiple or many counterintelligence aspects. Mueller was asked "Currently?" and said yes. To Figliuzzi, that means the FBI's still seriously investigating Trump-Russia. Not the coverup, the crime(s).
It confirms an important reason for a lot of the very unsatisfactory reticence, vagueness, holes in information. "I won't answer that."
Noting that Mueller's counterintelligence report was not included in "The Mueller Report" that was released to the public.

(17,988 posts)Several investigations and cases on going. One was decided this week.

(30,613 posts)Mueller clammed up and appeared to know there's more going on there.

(24 posts)My take away from today: Not a single word from the report was disputed by a republican. Not, a, single, word. The contents of the report is literally undisputed. They only attacked the origins, investigators, and mueller. Not the facts. Not the findings. Lastly, only one republican seemed concerned at all, Bill Hurd of TX, about the Russian attack on our 2016 election and the active efforts by Russia and other countries to do it again. Democrats also are terrible at asking questions, and Mueller is not the dramatic witness the Dems were looking for. However, the evidence is clear, if you care to read it.
